There are many factors in raising flowers well, especially raising potted flowers on family balconies. To raise flowers well, you should have at least the following three basic knowledge.
1. We should understand the functions of various parts of flowers and trees. Flowers and trees generally have six organs: root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit and seed. Roots can fix flowers and trees in the soil and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Stems can support leaves, flowers and fruits, and transport water and nutrients absorbed from roots and organic nutrients made from leaves. Leaves can produce organic nutrients, as well as respiration and transpiration of water. Although the functions of root, stem and leaf are different, they are all related to the nutrition of flowers and trees, so they are all vegetative organs.
Flowers and trees bloom after they grow and mature, and bear fruits after they wither. The fruits contain seeds. Mature seeds fall in the appropriate environment, and new flowers and trees grow. Flowers, fruits and seeds are all related to reproductive offspring, so they are all reproductive organs. Only when the vegetative organs are well raised, flowers can blossom and bear fruit after accumulating enough nutrients. Similarly, although the vegetative organs grow well, if the reproductive organs lack nutrients in the reproductive season, they will not grow well, and naturally they will not have good flowers and fruits.
2. To understand the growth habits of flowers and trees. Some flowers and trees are sun loving and some are shade tolerant; Some prefer warmth, while others are cold resistant; Some are afraid of cold, some are afraid of heat; Some people like sunshine in winter, but they want shade in summer; Generally, flowers and trees like loose soil, while some prefer sticky heavy soil; Some flowers and trees have strict requirements on soil pH, while others do not; Generally, flowers like fertilizer, but some flowers will rot.
3. It is necessary to understand the characteristics of climate, soil quality and other conditions in the origin of various flowers and trees. In addition to understanding these characteristics, we should also know how these characteristics affect the growth habits of flowers? How was it introduced? What are the changes after introduction? If these conditions are clarified, flowers and trees suitable for the characteristics of the region can be selected for planting; It can also artificially create a special microclimate environment and soil types that meet its needs for different flowers and trees. In this way, jasmine will not be planted in shady windows; Planting a hairpin on the balcony in the sun, both of them will not grow well. By clarifying the functions of various organs of flowers and trees, and understanding their growth habits and their relationship with the external environmental conditions, we can plant flowers according to their laws to achieve the desired purpose and keep flowers well.
Special reminder: Flowers are delicate lives. What is needed is careful observation, supply according to needs, and careful care. It is forbidden to be impatient, arbitrary, and take for granted.
