It is still the off-season at the flower market. After all, the temperature is too high, and many florists who like flowers are afraid that the flowers they buy will not survive. In fact, this kind of worry is normal. After all, during long-distance transportation, accidents can happen. If you are not careful, the flowers may become dehydrated and unable to survive.
However, this is only for some exotic flowers sold online. When we visit the local flower market, there is no taboo. As long as it is available in the flower market, as long as you like it, you can buy it and keep it.
Although the environment changes after the flowers arrive at home, such as humidity, temperature, light, ventilation, etc., and even the methods of watering and fertilizing are different, the climate environment at the flower market and at home will not be much different. , this impact is not enough to cause some irreversible effects on flowers.
However, for newly purchased flowers, they need to rest for a while after they arrive home, and they must also bear in mind these "don'ts".
. Wash the roots and change the pots when you get home.
Generally speaking, there are two types of flowers in the flower market. One is a good variety, relatively delicate, and is grown in a beautiful flower pot. Such flowers are expensive, and, Flower pots may look beautiful, but in fact most of them are airtight porcelain pots. There is another kind of flowers that are simply raised on begging. These flowers have strong vitality, are easy to maintain, and are not high in price.
No matter what kind of flower it is, after returning home, do not repot the flower, let alone wash the roots and replace the soil. If you don’t like the flowerpots to be ugly, you can put a set of pots on the outside first, which can also play a role in decorating your home.
If it is necessary to wash the roots of flowers or repot them, it is the safest way to wait until the temperature drops and the flowers resume vigorous growth. Today's flowers just need to be raised in an environment with good scattered light, suitable temperature and humidity, and good ventilation.
. You cannot keep all the flowers and buds.
Newly purchased flowers can be viewed normally if they are in the flowering period. However, it is best to cut off ordinary flowers and flower buds so that the nutrients of the flowers do not consume too much. In this way, we can recover quickly in the follow-up.
We know that the flowers in the flower market are all cultivated in greenhouses. In order to get more flowers, they usually use a lot of water and fertilizer, and also apply various drugs such as flower stimulating hormones, so that the flowers can appear in full pots. Either wait until all the flowers have bloomed and their vitality will be greatly reduced, or cut off part of the flowers first to allow the flowers to transition safely.
Too many flowers and buds will also cause excessive consumption of water and nutrients. The maintenance of flowers in the new environment will be unbalanced, causing yellow leaves and falling buds. In severe cases, dehydration and even "hanging" will occur.
Therefore, it is very good to do a good job of thinning and pruning flowers.
. Avoid strong direct light
Newly purchased flowers, even if they are light-loving plants, should not be directly exposed to direct light. There is only one situation where it is okay, that is, the flowers have been in an environment of direct light before buying them. , then, you can place it directly outdoors or on the balcony after buying it.
In other cases, they should not be exposed to direct light. They should be kept in an environment with good scattered light and good ventilation until the flowers resume growth and grow new leaves, and then normal maintenance can be carried out.
However, light is very important for flowers, especially those sun-loving flowers. Therefore, we can make appropriate changes to let these flowers see the light in the morning or evening, so that the flowers can grow quickly. Restore growth.
. Do not fertilize without understanding
No matter what the situation is, there is no need to rush to fertilize newly purchased flowers.
When the seedling slowing is over and the flowers resume growth, we will judge whether fertilization is needed based on the actual situation. If the flowers are in the flowering period, there is no need to fertilize. Fertilizing during the flowering period will shorten the flowering period and accelerate the withering of the flowers, affecting the viewing effect.
If the flowers are dormant in summer and are still in the dormant period, there is no need to fertilize.
Only those flowers that are still growing will need fertilizing. As for these flowers, I personally feel that fertilization is not that intense. After all, in such an environment, the growth rate is limited, and their own nutrients are enough for them to consume. Unless they are the kind of flowers whose pot soil has no nutrients at all, they can be planted every day. Apply some nutrient solution every week to help the flowers maintain normal growth. Wait until the temperature drops before changing the pots and soil.
If your home is under constant temperature control when growing flowers, and the flowers can grow normally, then you can fertilize normally.
In short, in one sentence: Don’t fertilize if you don’t understand the situation. Fertilization should be carried out according to the actual situation.
Conclusion:
Flower lovers must be in a great mood when they buy new flowers. They always want to give these new "babies" the best environment and maintenance conditions, but no matter how good the mood is, they cannot ignore the new flowers. Before normal maintenance of purchased flowers, you must keep in mind and do the "4 don'ts". I am Xiaogui, and I am serious about growing flowers.
