Many people like to grow some flowers and plants, and in daily life, they will also take care of them carefully, hoping that their green potted plants can grow healthy and green.
Today I will share with you 10 tips that are often used by general flower growers, which are very efficient, simple and convenient for maintaining some plants.
- Before watering, use a chopstick or bamboo stick to judge the dryness and wetness
For flower lovers who have just started to grow flowers, they often encounter: I don’t know under what circumstances to water the flowers, because sometimes watering too late or too early will cause the plants to die of drought or waterlogging.
Operation method
When watering the flowers again, you can use a chopstick or bamboo stick to insert it into the flowerpot, let it stand for about 30 to 60 seconds, and take it out to see if the bamboo stick is wet? If it is wet, it means that there is no lack of water in the pot. If it is dry, it means that there is already a lack of water and you can water it.
- Watering flowers with beer water will make the leaves green and the roots thick
When we usually grow some ornamental flowers such as green radish, spider plant, Clivia, money tree, etc., we all hope that our green potted plants can grow green and bright.
Operation method
You can water the flowers in spring, summer and autumn every year. Prepare beer, add water to dilute it at a ratio of 1:20, and use it to water these ornamental flowers. The glucose and maltose in the beer will become organic fertilizers in the later stage and be absorbed by the roots of plants, making the leaves of flowers green and bright. In addition, the beer water solution contains carbonic acid, which can neutralize the soil and make the soil loose and fertile.
- Do not water the roots in the hot noon
When many flower lovers first started to grow flowers, they mistakenly thought that they should water the flowers in the hot summer weather. In fact, flowers should not be watered in hot weather.
Operation method
In summer, if you water the flower pots at noon, a greenhouse phenomenon will form in the pots, causing the roots to be stuffy and the roots of the plants to rot. Therefore, in summer, try to water the flowers in the cool early morning or evening.
- Ferment soybean water, add some orange peels (orange peels, grapefruit peels, lemon peels) to remove odors, and the fermentation speed is fast
In the process of growing flowers, watering and fertilizing flowers is a very important thing. I believe that many flower lovers know that soybeans are often used as fertilizers to grow flowers, but some flower lovers try to use soybean fertilizers to water flowers, and the soybean fertilizers stink.
Operation method
In the process of fermenting soybeans, because soybeans contain a lot of protein, odors will be generated during the fermentation process; so every time you ferment soybean fertilizers, it is recommended that you prepare some orange peels, grapefruit peels, orange peels or lemon peels, chop them up and put them in a plastic bucket to ferment with soybeans, which can effectively remove odors.
- Put the flower pots on the ground for good drainage, no root rot, and fast growth
As the saying goes, if you want to grow flowers and roots, you need to keep the plants healthy and vigorous. Keeping the root system well is a very critical thing.
Operation method
When some flower lovers are caring for plants such as Clivia and Gardenia, they put the flower pots in the air, which can increase the ventilation of the whole plant, and when watering, the drainage will also be better, and there will be no water accumulation in the pot or root rot of the plant.
- It is safest to grow flowers in a ventilated place with scattered light
When cultivating flowers, if you want the plants to grow healthy and vigorous, and you can cultivate them safely, you can put all the flower pots in a ventilated place with scattered light.
- After the Clivia is clipped, put a black bag on it and it will be solved
When caring for Clivia, sometimes you will encounter a situation like the one in the picture, that is, the flower arrow of Clivia has not fully grown out, and the plant has bloomed at the base. This phenomenon is called Clivia clipping arrows. This situation occurs mainly because of insufficient light and nutrition during the maintenance process.
Operation method
When encountering a gentleman to clamp the arrow, you must deal with it immediately. You can prepare a black plastic bag to cover the Clivia potted plant or directly cover the flower arrow. This will promote the growth of the flower arrow. After the flower arrow grows long, remove the black plastic bag, and then place the potted plant on a well-lit windowsill for maintenance. The Clivia will continue to bloom.

It can make the root system of asparagus fern more developed and promote the plant to grow more new shoots.
- Raise lucky bamboo, use a pill, rooting quickly
Lucky bamboo is a very popular plant. In the flower market, you often see many flower lovers buy a bunch of lucky bamboo and put it in water to cultivate it.
Operation method
When caring for lucky bamboo, if you want the plant to grow roots quickly, you can use a pill called aspirin. Use 1 aspirin tablet to 1 kg of water, fully dissolve it, and use it to care for lucky bamboo. The salicylic acid in aspirin can promote the rapid growth of lucky bamboo roots.

Green radish can be said to have entered thousands of households. It is shade-tolerant and moisture-tolerant, and grows fast; but if you want to make the green radish grow lush and vigorous, with green leaves, you still need some skills.
Operation method
Pothos is a fertilizer-loving flower, so during the maintenance process, you can sprinkle 10 to 20 slow-release fertilizers into the flower pot of Pothos every 30 days in spring, summer and autumn every year to supplement nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so that the Pothos can grow out of the pot.
