For novices, they always feel that growing flowers is a very difficult thing. They often raise plants to death, or they are half-dead, let alone bloom. So many novices call themselves plant killers. In fact, it is not that difficult to raise flowers. Below, Blue Demon will summarize several places that are prone to make mistakes in the process of growing flowers. I hope it will be helpful to you.

1. You can’t just look at the appearance of a flower pot.

. Friends who are just starting to grow flowers will first buy finished potted plants at the flower market, and then choose a beautiful flower pot. Plant it in it and water it every day. They think that the potted plants can maintain health and continue to bloom. However, they didn’t know that we did the wrong first step.

flower pots are very important for plant growth, and flower pots of different materials and structures have very different breathability. For example, ceramic flower pots with colored glaze on the outside look very beautiful, but in fact they are very poor breathability, and there is only one drainage hole at the bottom, which is also poor water permeability. This kind of pot is not suitable for planting plants directly. Especially for novice flower lovers, due to insufficient experience in pot maintenance, if they use this kind of flower pot with poor breathability and water permeability, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to maintain.

When choosing a flower pot, Lan Yao personally recommends that it is best to choose a red pottery basin, which is breathable and water-permeable, but the price is relatively high. For ordinary ones, it is recommended to choose an plastic basin with more permeable holes at the bottom, , gallon basin or green mountain basin.

2. Soil distribution determines the difficulty of maintenance

Many novices don’t know what kind of soil should be used for potted plants, and even go directly to the green belt or vegetable fields to dig some garden soil to plant. However, potted plants are different from ground plants. The growth space of potted plants is small, and the watering frequency is high, so the soil is not breathable and it is easy to solidify and accumulate water. It is naturally difficult to raise.

Most flowers can be grown using general nutritional soil, but it should be noted that you should not buy that kind of nutritional soil that is particularly cheap. Low-quality nutritional soil is often loose and breathable, but the actual breathability is extremely poor, and nothing can be planted.

3. Repot and transplant plant clothing, correct potting, fast

Many novices say that they dare not repot plants because they die as soon as they change potting. If you also encounter this situation, it must be that the method of repotting is wrong.

Generally, when changing pots during the growth period of plants, you need to bring the original soil to a new pot. You cannot plan to make the soil clump. If the root system is clumped, you can slightly loosen the root system around the soil clump and then plant and add new soil.

In addition, there is another very important point when changing pots, that when using base fertilizer, you cannot touch the root system of the plant, and you cannot apply liquid fertilizer within one week after changing pots, otherwise problems will be easily caused.

4. Water is the source of life, but not too much

Most flower lovers' potted plants are caused by the withering of too much water. Although plants need watering too much water, if the plant roots are in humid soil for a long time, and there is not enough oxygen to participate in the absorption effect, root rot will occur.

Regarding the method of watering, it is very simple to say. If you water it thoroughly, it will not dry or water it. However, many flower lovers do not know the key points. When watering it, it is often difficult to water it thoroughly. Today, Lan Yao will give you the easiest way to judge the watering method, the method of lifting the pot.

Before watering each time, lift the flower pot and feel the weight of the flower pot. If the flower pot is heavy, don’t water it. When the flower pot feels light and fluttering, you can water it. The pot lifting method is only suitable for potted plants with lighter material and smaller pots. If it is a large and bulky flower pot, other methods of judgment are needed. For more methods to judge the timing of watering, Lan Yao has a believed introduction in the book "How to grow flowers with zero foundation", you can refer to it.

5. Applying fertilization correctly will not cause yellow leaves

Fertilization is a headache for many novices. When potted plants are fertilized, yellow leaves will be withered as soon as they are fertilized. That is because the fertilizer is too heavy.Fertilizing potted plants requires frequent application of thin fertilizer, so you must read the instructions before applying fertilizer. Different brands of water-soluble fertilizer have different concentrations. The concentrated fertilizer mentioned in the description is a reference base concentration. Normal and healthy seedlings are not too small. The concentration can be as specified. If it is a seedling or a weak seedling, the dilution ratio should be increased. If the seedlings grow very vigorously and have a large crown, it can be slightly thicker.

For example, small seedlings and weak seedlings, Huaduoduo can be diluted 1500-2000 times for use, while strong large seedlings can be diluted 500-800 times for use.
