Spring is a great season for buying flowers. Everything comes back to life and is full of vitality, and the flower market also ushers in the peak sales season. However, for novice flower lovers, faced with a dazzling array of flower varieties, they often don't know where to start. Don't worry. Today, I'll share with you a mnemonic for buying flowers in spring: "Four to buy and four not to buy", to help you easily choose good flowers.
Buy those that have been potted for a long time: When purchasing flowers, the first thing we should pay attention to is the potting time of the flowers. Generally speaking, for flowers that have been potted for a long time, their roots have already adapted to the new growth environment and their growth state is relatively stable. Such flowers are easier to adapt to new growth conditions after being bought home, have a high survival rate, and are also easier to take care of.
Buy those with soil balls: During the transplanting process, the roots of flowers are easily damaged. Flowers with soil balls have relatively intact roots, which can protect the roots from being damaged and improve the survival rate of transplantation. In contrast, the roots of bare-rooted flowers are easily damaged and need a longer recovery time after transplantation, and their survival rate is relatively low. Therefore, when purchasing flowers, try to choose varieties with soil balls as much as possible.
Buy those with regular plant shapes: Flowers with regular plant shapes are in good growth condition and have high ornamental value. After being bought home, such flowers can play a very good decorative role whether placed at home or in the office. However, flowers with poor growth have slanting plant shapes and yellowing leaves, and their ornamental value is greatly reduced. Therefore, when purchasing flowers, carefully select varieties with regular plant shapes.
Buy healthy ones: Healthy flowers have emerald green leaves, bright flowers, and vigorous vitality. After being bought home, such flowers can grow and bloom better. Flowers with pests and diseases have withered and yellow leaves and withered flowers and weak vitality. Buying such flowers not only has a poor ornamental effect but also easily brings pests and diseases home and affects the growth of other flowers. Therefore, when purchasing flowers, be sure to choose healthy varieties.
Don't buy those that have just been potted: Flowers that have just been potted have roots that have not yet adapted to the new growth environment and their growth state is unstable. Such flowers are prone to phenomena such as poor growth and withering after being bought home. Therefore, when purchasing flowers, try to avoid choosing varieties that have just been potted.
Don't buy bare-rooted ones: The roots of bare-rooted flowers are easily damaged and need a longer recovery time after being transplanted. After being bought home, such flowers have a low survival rate and are difficult to take care of. Therefore, when purchasing flowers, try to choose varieties with soil balls and avoid choosing bare-rooted ones.
Don't buy those with poor growth: Flowers with poor growth have slanting plant shapes and yellowing leaves and low ornamental value. After being bought home, such flowers not only cannot play a decorative role but also easily affect people's moods. Therefore, when purchasing flowers, carefully select varieties with good growth.
Don't buy those with pests and diseases: Flowers with pests and diseases have withered and yellow leaves and withered flowers and weak vitality. Buying such flowers not only has a poor ornamental effect but also easily brings pests and diseases home and affects the growth of other flowers. Therefore, when purchasing flowers, be sure to carefully check the leaves and flowers of the flowers to ensure that there is no infestation of pests and diseases.
When buying flowers in spring, we should not only pay attention to the appearance but also focus on the health condition of the plants. Only healthy plants can better adapt to the new environment and thrive. At the same time, we should also choose suitable plants according to our own maintenance ability and home environment. Remember the principle of "Four to buy and four not to buy", plus some practical flower selection skills, and I believe you will surely be able to select the "good flowers" you like.
