1、 Plant purchase requirements

If you are not sure, try to choose the original soil in the original basin, try to choose local plants (North flower South breeding or South Flower North breeding, need to have certain technical requirements, which may be inappropriate for novices), and try to choose the species of seasonal flowering, In this way, it is easy to slow seedling recovery (for plants flowering out of season, due to breaking the growth law, they may have to wait a long time to recover after changing the new environment. It needs to adapt to the current environment again, which has a process)

2、 Planting and maintenance methods of bare root plants

If you buy bare root plants without soil, you should pay attention to the following three points when planting

1. First, soak the roots

First soak the roots of the newly bought flowers in the basin for 3 to 4 hours, so that the roots of the flowers can fully absorb water. Gently wash away the mud mass wrapped on the roots of flowers, and be careful not to break or bruise the roots

2. The flowerpot should be bigger

The size of the flowerpot is also very important. If the root of the flower is large, the flowerpot should also be appropriately increased. If the root is small, do not use too large flowerpots. If the flowerpot is large, there is more soil in it, which is easy to make the soil permeability poor

During planting, orchid, camellia, azalea, brandy and gardenia need acid soil (mountain soil), Phalaenopsis and Clivia use rotten leaf soil, osmanthus, iron tree and brown bamboo use pastoral soil 2 / 3, plus coal briquette ash 1 / 3, in order to increase soil permeability

3. Trim properly

After the flowers are planted, they can be trimmed properly. If you buy a new rose, you can cut off the upper flowers and branches as appropriate to promote germination

4. Fertilization principle

In addition, fertilize the new flowers after 1 month, and then fertilize the new flowers after 1 month

3、 Potted plant maintenance method

After buying potted plants at home, in any case, slow seedling is a necessary step. The maintenance of slow seedling period is very suitable for most plants

1.necessary step - slow seedling stage

For newly purchased plants, slow seedling must be carried out, which cannot be skipped

The maintenance method is relatively simple. It is placed at the scattered light and ventilation place with relatively fixed position. There is no need to use fertilizer and let it bask in the sun too early. At ordinary times, when it is time to water, it should be watered enough to be permeable: note that if the topsoil is dry, it should be watered thoroughly; This watering method is universal at all times

When the plant is still in slow seedling, it is normal to have a small amount of yellow leaves or a small amount of flower buds; As long as the growth is restored smoothly in the future, this phenomenon will naturally disappear

As for how long to slow down, the situation of the plant itself shall prevail. Due to the great difference of plant species, generally, the small plants are faster than the large slow seedlings, and the herbaceous ones are faster than the woody slow seedlings

2.optional step - changing Basin

For newly purchased flowers, if you feel that the flowerpot is inappropriate or the soil is inappropriate, you can consider the flowerpot

basin changing method

If it is a soft plastic flowerpot, you can cut this kind of flowerpot, and then take the whole soil lump to pull out the plant; If such flowerpots are used for other purposes (seedling raising or planting other plants) in the future, there is no need to cut them. Keep the flowerpots as they are. After wetting the pot soil, carefully pull out the plants; Pay attention to this process and be careful to minimize the damage to the root system of the plant, so as to promote the recovery of slow seedlings in the future. After changing the pot, watering is necessary. This watering is also called root setting water, which aims to make the root system closely combine with the soil

basin changing time

It will be carried out in the afternoon or evening of the day after purchase. In case of rainy days, it can be carried out in time. The earlier the better; And don't change it in a few days. Doing so may be more unfavorable to it, because in a few days, the plant may have recovered its vitality, but at this time, change the pot and let it recover slowly again; Objectively, it will prolong its slow seedling period (which should have recovered in 3-4 days, but may be extended to 1-2 weeks or even longer), which is not conducive to subsequent growth

After the plant is changed, the slow seedling should start again (the calculation of the slow seedling period starts from the last time it is changed in the case of continuous basin change). It is necessary to remember that how it was raised before is useless after changing the basin; This is the biggest risk of changing pots; Choosing the right time to change the basin can effectively reduce the risk. If the time is not appropriate, it will bring greater risk

3.maintenance after slow seedling period

Newly bought plants can be managed according to their habits after successfully passing the slow seedling period

For those who like Yang (such as jasmine, pomegranate, medlar, Ornamental Pepper, etc.), be sure to keep them in a place with sufficient light and good ventilation; For those who like shade (red palm, white palm, bamboo taro, etc.), keep them in a place with light and ventilation as usual. When the temperature is appropriate, fertilizer can be used as appropriate (there will be differences for foliage plants and flower and fruit plants)

When the growth environment is stable, the placement position should be fixed as much as possible; Only in case of sudden change of weather and obvious change of environment (such as significant cooling or heating), it can be moved to a more ideal position (such as plant out of the room in spring or in autumn)
