Find out the environment and choose the plants and no longer mourn "I can t live!"

Q: Which plant is better in my family?

First consider the purpose of the flower, and then choose suitable plants.

"What kind of plant is better?", "What kind of plant is best to grow?" are the questions that many newbies who are starting to learn about planting are first considered.

I usually ask everyone: "Whether do you want to be indoors or outdoors, sunsets or rooftops? How big is the planting space? How much light exposure? How long is it usually exposed to? Will the water be irritated? What color do you like? Should the flowers have a fragrance? What budget is it? Are there any taboos? Do you like strong and resistant to life, or are you beautiful but short-lived?"

The above questions are to ask everyone to evaluate the "purpose of planting". Understand your needs, time, and hobbies for planting, and then choose the plants you want. If you choose right, you will be able to respond with care. If you choose wrong, you may not be able to get a good reward by spending a lot of effort.

Three main points of choosing plants

1. Choose according to the purpose of viewing:

If you want to add greenness, you can choose leaf plants such as viewing sound, dark pink leaves, vine green leaves, mountain sour, and colorful leaves taro. Want to create colorful colors: mainly flower plants, such as dwarf cattle, tricolor cypress, zinnia, etc., or potted flower plants of the saint red, cyclamen, amaryllis and other types. If you want to have practical value, choose edible vegetables, or herb plants such as lavender, mint, rosemary, etc. that can be used in vegetables or make tea, or fragrant fragrant flowers such as osmanthus, jasmine, and lard.

2. Choose from time amount:

People who are usually busy and do not have too much time to take care of plants, it is recommended to choose leaf plants, or succulents, phytos, air pears, etc., commonly known as succulents, vegetation, air pears, etc., or choose plants with large locks, more nourishment and moisture storage. Even if they are extravagant to care, they will not be in immediate life danger. If you have sufficient care time, you can challenge plants with higher difficulty, such as potted flower plants, fruit tree potted plants, etc., and then give appropriate care according to the different properties of the plants.

3. Choose according to personal preferences:

Some people like Lanhua, some prefer camellia, and people love flowers have their own preferences. They observe and learn from it, and slowly cultivate their planting hobbies.

Q: Can succulents survive without water?

You don’t need to wash water every day, but you have to wash water every time you wash it.

Succulents can tolerate drought, so they do not need to water every day, so they have the name of "silent plant", but it does not mean that they can be ignored. Its water rate can be longer than that of ordinary plants, but when watering, you still need to grasp the principle of the soil being thoroughly cleaned once when dry.

There are many different types of succulents, but their characteristics are basically similar, and the care and maintenance methods are similar. Almost all require full sunlight (with some exceptions). If the light is insufficient, it is easy to get too thin or have poor color.

Some succulents have special structures, and plants are prone to retain moisture. Be careful when simmering to avoid letting moisture stay on the plants. For example, the leaves of a stone flower or a hairy cactus, the moisture will remain in the heart. When the sun shines, it will easily corrode from the heart, so special attention is needed. Some succulents are dormant, and frequent water should be avoided during dormant periods.

In addition, the implant environment needs to maintain ventilation to avoid heat and moisture, which can reduce the occurrence of disease and trauma. If a disease is unfortunately occurring, the infected area can be removed in the early stage. If there is still a spread, it is recommended to discard the entire plant to avoid infecting other healthy plants.

Q: Can electric lights replace sunlight to irradiate plants?

The light light can meet the lighting needs of leaves plants.

Yellow has "color", which is reflected by three lenses, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple colors. Different plants or growth stages have different requirements for light lines. For example, flowering plants require red light, stimulation and accumulation of nutrients; leaf plants require blue light. Generally, sunlight is blue, so when planting leaves plants indoors, sunlight can still maintain their growth, but flowering plants cannot.

Use optical control to achieve the effect of professional cultivation.

However, in professional cultivation, in order to achieve better economic benefits and control, special indoor light will be used to allow plants to undergo artificial cultivation. For example, in Japan, there are examples of using linolenic lights or LED lights to cultivate rice and vegetables to grow. They use stronger and special light lights to replace sunlight. However, ordinary plants require 12 to 14 hours of light, which is obviously not very environmentally friendly.
