For beginners who are just starting to set foot in the gardening world, choosing the right plants is crucial. Although some plants are beautiful and charming, they are not suitable for beginners to take care of.
First of all, let's talk about Guzmania. Guzmania is highly loved because of its unique shape and meaning. Its bright red flowers and green leaves are indeed pleasing to the eye. However, Guzmania has relatively strict requirements for the growth environment. It likes a warm and humid environment, and the temperature is best maintained between 15℃ and 22℃. For beginners, it is difficult to accurately grasp such a temperature range. At the same time, Guzmania also has high requirements for humidity. Excessively dry air will cause its leaves to curl and flowers to wither. Beginners are often difficult to provide a stable high-humidity environment, which makes Guzmania easily grow poorly in the hands of beginners.
Gardenia is also a plant that many people are fond of. The white flowers emit a charming fragrance. But gardenia has relatively strict requirements for soil. It likes acidic soil, and beginners may not know how to prepare acidic soil suitable for the growth of gardenia. If the soil pH is inappropriate, gardenia will have problems such as yellow leaves and dropped buds. In addition, the demand for water by gardenia also needs to be precisely grasped. Overwatering easily leads to root rot, and too little watering will cause the leaves to dry up. Beginners are very likely to make mistakes in this watering link, thus affecting the growth of gardenia.
Azalea is also famous for its gorgeous flowers. But azalea is very sensitive to the requirements of light. It can neither accept strong direct sunlight nor stay in a dark environment for a long time. Beginners often find it difficult to accurately judge the light intensity and time required by azalea, and it is easy to lead to poor growth of azalea. Moreover, azalea also likes acidic soil. Like gardenia, it has high requirements for soil pH. At the same time, azalea also has a certain requirement for humidity and needs to maintain a certain air humidity to grow well. These factors are all big challenges for beginners.
Clerodendrum wallichii attracts the attention of many people with its elegant posture and fragrant flowers. However, the maintenance difficulty of Clerodendrum wallichii is not small. It is relatively sensitive to temperature changes and is easily frostbitten or even die when the temperature is too low in winter. Beginners may not know how to provide appropriate warmth preservation measures for Clerodendrum wallichii in winter. In addition, the demand for water and fertilizer by Clerodendrum wallichii also needs to be carefully controlled. Excessive watering or improper fertilization may lead to poor growth.
As one of the traditional famous flowers, the beauty of camellia is beyond doubt. But camellia is also not suitable for beginners to take care of. Camellia has very high requirements for the breathability and drainage of the soil. If the soil is compacted or the drainage is not smooth, it is easy to cause root rot of camellia. Moreover, camellia also has relatively strict requirements for light and temperature. It needs sufficient light, but it cannot accept strong direct sunlight. Too high or too low temperature will affect the growth and flowering of camellia. When beginners take care of camellia, they are likely to cause poor growth of camellia because they cannot meet these conditions.
For beginners, choosing plants with lower maintenance difficulty can better accumulate experience and improve their gardening skills. And these five plants, Guzmania, gardenia, azalea, Clerodendrum wallichii and camellia, are not recommended for beginners to try because they have high requirements for the growth environment and need careful maintenance and management.
