With the arrival of winter, the flower market gradually ushers in the peak sales season. However, when purchasing flowers, consumers often encounter some traps, resulting in the flowers being difficult to survive or having poor ornamental effects. The following will reveal three major traps in buying flowers in winter to help you avoid being deceived.
Out-of-season flowers: In winter, some merchants, in order to meet the needs of consumers, will introduce out-of-season flowers. Although these flowers are beautiful in appearance, due to the growth environment not conforming to the natural season, they often have a high level of maintenance difficulty. Out-of-season flowers usually require special maintenance conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and lighting. Once the maintenance is improper, they are likely to wither or even die. Therefore, when buying out-of-season flowers, consumers should carefully consider their maintenance capabilities and conditions and avoid blindly following the trend to make purchases.
Newly planted flowers and plants: Winter is the peak season for flower sales and also the peak period for merchants to introduce newly planted flowers and plants. Since newly planted flowers and plants have just been transplanted, their root systems have not fully recovered and need some time to adapt to the new growth environment. At this stage, the resistance of the flowers and plants is relatively weak, and they are vulnerable to the invasion of pests and diseases. In addition, the growth of newly planted flowers and plants during the adaptation period is often unstable, and phenomena such as defoliation and yellowing of leaves may occur. Therefore, when buying newly planted flowers and plants, consumers should choose plants with intact root systems, fresh green leaves, and good growth conditions, and pay attention to providing appropriate care and attention during the maintenance process.
Flowers with broken roots: Flowers with broken roots refer to plants whose root systems are severely damaged during the transplantation process. Due to the incomplete root systems, these flowers have a greatly reduced ability to absorb water and nutrients, resulting in slow growth or even death. When selling flowers with broken roots, merchants often try to cover up the fact that their growth conditions are poor by pruning branches and leaves, spraying preservatives, etc. However, these measures cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the low survival rate of flowers with broken roots. Therefore, when buying flowers, consumers should carefully check whether the root systems of the flowers are intact and avoid buying flowers with broken roots.
In order to avoid falling into the traps of buying flowers in winter, consumers should pay attention to the following points when purchasing flowers: First, understand their own maintenance capabilities and conditions and choose flower varieties suitable for themselves. Second, carefully observe the growth conditions of the flowers and choose plants with intact root systems, fresh green leaves, and good growth conditions. Third, learn about the maintenance knowledge and skills of flowers and provide appropriate care and attention. In addition, consumers should also choose merchants with good reputations to buy flowers to avoid being deceived. In short, only by choosing carefully and maintaining scientifically can the flowers bloom beautifully in winter.
