Choose the right position

If you want to raise flowers well, first of all, you have to know what kind of flowers are most suitable for your home environment

1. Nanyangtai full sunshine:

Nanyangtai with sufficient light is most suitable for raising some flowers that like direct light, that is, the more they are exposed to the sun, the better they will grow. Such as Milan Petunia, morning glory, etc

2. Dongyangtai semi sunshine:

The East balcony can only get the sun in the morning, and the sun will disappear at noon, so you can raise some short sunshine or slightly shade resistant flowers. Such as Rhododendron, camellia, crab claw orchid, etc

3. Xiyangtai semi sunshine:

The west balcony can only shine in the afternoon, and it is easy to be exposed to the sun when it is hot in summer. Therefore, you can raise some climbing rattan plants in xiyangtai, which can not only shade but also cool off. Such as wisteria, morning glory, pineapple, etc

4. Beiyangtai, living room with good indoor light scattering, etc.:

Beiyangtai rarely sees the sun, so it's good to raise some shade resistant flowers. For example, asparagus, turtle backed bamboo, evergreen, etc

How to judge the lack of water

Watering is the key if you want the flowers to grow well at home. How to judge whether the flowers at home should be watered is also a very important aspect

1. Visual inspection

Huahua thinks the easiest way is visual inspection. Look at the color of the basin soil with your eyes. If it's gray white, it's time to water it; If the soil is dark brown, it basically means that the basin soil is still wet and does not need watering for the time being

2. Weighing basin method

There is also a very simple judgment method, which is the pot method. Weigh up the flowerpot. If it feels a lot lighter, it should be watered

Water and add some materials to make the flowers grow well

If you want flowers to grow better, it must be impossible to just water them. When watering the flowers, add some materials and supplement some nutrition, so as to make the flowers grow better

1. Add some rice washing water

Huahua thinks the simplest thing is to add some rice washing water. Put the water after rice washing in a plastic bottle, and then dry it in the sun for a period of time. Open the cover every 3-5 days to breathe. After retting, water the flowers directly at 1:20

2. Add some fish sausage water

Fish intestines are rich in phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Retting fish intestines into fertilizer is very nutritious for flowers with many flowers and long flowering period, such as rose and triangle plum. Put the fish intestines in plastic bottles, then add some water and expose them to the sun for composting. They can be used in about 2-3 months

Add some material to the bottom of the basin to keep the flowers from rotting

Sometimes, the flowers at home die for no reason, just because the roots are rotten. So when changing pots, add some materials to the bottom of the pot, and the flowers will not rot

1. Towel gourd pulp on the bottom of the basin

The loofah on the loofah pulp has a very large gap. It is padded at the bottom of the flowerpot. It has very good water and air permeability, so that the flowers will never rot! In addition, loofah pulp can also be used to raise seedlings, and the effect is also very good

2. The bottom of the basin is padded with broken bricks and tiles

If you want to keep the flowers from rotting, you can also pad some broken bricks and tiles at the bottom of the basin. Pick up a brick outside, take it home, smash it into small pieces, soak it in hot water and expose it to the sun. When it is dry, you can pad the bottom of the basin

Pruning is important

Pruning is essential if you want flowers to grow well. Whether it is trimming the residual flowers after flowering or cutting off some weak branches and sick branches on the branches, it can avoid the flowers from consuming too much nutrients, so as to make the plants grow stronger

1. Pruning residual flowers

Before trimming:

After trimming:

2. Pruning of diseased branches, weak branches and bare branches

Before trimming:

After trimming:

Pay attention to diseases and pests

When raising flowers, you must pay attention to the leaves and flowers. If black spots, white powder and other symptoms are found on the leaves, it can basically be determined to be diseases and pests. At this time, you can make some insecticides, such as garlic water and pepper water, or sprinkle mosquito repellent ash on the surface of the flower pot, which can kill insects

Homemade potted plants

In fact, in addition to raising flowers, many vegetables and fruits can also develop small potted plants

Whether carrots, cabbages, onions, sweet potatoes or sweet potatoes, they can be made into small potted plants. Put the vegetables in a bottle of water and they will sprout and grow up in less than a week

2. Fruit pot
