It is said that there are only two languages in the world without borders: one is smiles and the other is flowers. Flowers are slowly becoming a part of our daily life, and they are the best choice of gifts and the best decoration for the interior. More and more people are raising flowers at home, which not only can cultivate the sentiment, but also benefit the physical and mental health. However, some flower species are difficult for newcomers, so let me introduce you to the tips of orchid, anthurium, spathiphyllum kochii, gardenia and so on!
Orchid breeding tips – one inch watering method
The key to breeding orchid is watering, if watering is not proper, it will cause rotten roots, yellow and black leaves and gradually wilt. The correct watering method is the one inch watering method – when we insert our finger into the orchid pot soil at a depth of about one inch (one inch is about half the length of the index finger), if the finger obviously feels moisture, there is no need to water it, if there is no moisture and it is already dry, then it needs to be watered. In winter when the temperature is below 10°C, orchid is watered in the midday when it is warm, a small amount of boiling water along the pot is sufficient, it is not suitable to water too much and keep the potting soil on the dry side.
Anthurium breeding tips – reject ceramic pots
As we enter the winter, we may have various problems with our Anthurium pots (e.g., yellowing of leaves, wilting, rotten leaves, black spots, etc.), and the culprit of these problems may be related to ceramic pots. Normally, ceramic pots are not suitable for newcomers who are raising anthurium for the first time, because they tend to collect water, especially the ones with a tray at the bottom. Anthurium is suitable for breeding in plastic pots with permeable holes or tile pots, and needs to be kept at 15°C once a week in winter. But instead of plastic pots, you should consider using eco friendly plant pots that are handcrafted from recycled plastic materials.
Tips for growing spathiphyllum kochii – semi-shade or hydroponics
spathiphyllum kochii is the flower of choice for many families, but buy home always have various problems, especially the leaves become yellow, wilted, always repeated, what to do? I suggest that you move it to a place where it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, because spathiphyllum kochii is afraid of the sun, a sunny leaf will be yellow, wilted, and cannot bloom. In addition, for newcomers to soil cultivation is not the best choice, because newcomers are difficult to grasp the amount of watering, so you may want to try hydroponics. Hydroponics spathiphyllum kochii is very good care, 1-2 weeks to change the water on it, not only grow especially watery, and a month to throw a few slow-release fertilizer or compound fertilizer, it is easy to bloom!
Gardenia breeding tips – Rust water
In some places (generally the northern region) Gardenia is really difficult to raise, often face the leaves turn yellow, fall off, and finally become bare. In these places, Gardenia easy because of iron deficiency and lead to yellow leaves, so usually you can collect some rusty nails, iron, wire, put in a plastic bottle, add water, soak, soak a 5 days or so, you can use to water Gardenia. at the same time, although Gardenia like water, but we need to grasp the frequency of watering, otherwise it is easy to lead to plant root rot. The correct watering frequency: In spring, summer and autumn, keep the potting soil slightly damp and water once every 3-5 days. In winter, when the temperature is below 10 degrees, you should control the watering, just water twice a month, do not water thoroughly, and water less along the pot. Also avoid blowing cold wind, otherwise the branches will be dried out soon!
Raising flowers is a very interesting thing, waiting for the plants to grow, draw, bloom and wither is a very wonderful thing, bringing us an indescribable sense of accomplishment. As long as you master certain skills, raising flowers is not a difficult task.
