The new year is coming, many people will go to the flower market to buy some beautiful flowers, and put them at home to celebrate and feast the eyes. As the saying goes, buy the essence of not selling, many flower friends have encountered the situation that buy the flowers home and can't live. Then you are likely to be fooled by the flower market boss. How can you tell?

First: poor soil quality

When some flowers are bought home, you will find that they can't be watered thoroughly for half a day, the leaves are all drooping, and there is a gap between the soil and the flowerpot. It is likely that the soil used for flowerpots is poor, with heavy viscosity, poor drainage, and the soil has been hardened.

How to distinguish?

When buying flowers, don't just look at the flowers, but also pay attention to the soil. If the soil is light and yellow, don't buy it. That may be the seller in order to save money and labor, with pure garden soil, buy home is easy to harden.

The second kind: fleshy fake

The fleshy color of the brocade is very strange, which is very popular with fleshy players. Therefore, in order to sell at a high price, many bad merchants use drugs to forge multi meat brocade, that is, "drug brocade". This kind of multi meat will soon come back to its original shape and have a shorter life span.

How to distinguish?

If the fleshy brocade is naturally produced, the color change is generally vertical, while the medicinal brocade is circle by circle, because it is difficult to change the color of the old leaves, and the medicinal brocade generally changes the color of the young leaves in the center. In addition, the price of brocade meat is many times more expensive than ordinary meat. If the price is too low, don't be greedy.

Third: artificial waxing of leaves

In order to make the leaves more oil, green and bright, some sellers wax the leaves of foliage plants. This will hinder the respiration of leaves, easily cause plant wilt, shorten the life of plants

How to distinguish?

Touch the leaves with your hands. If the leaves feel oily and smell like chemicals, it's waxing. Don't buy this kind of flower. Leaves are easy to be unhealthy.

Fourth: make hands and feet at the bottom of flowerpot

In order to reduce weight and reduce costs, some sellers have foamed at the bottom of flower pots. The soil layer is only 3 or 4 cm. If you can't find it in time, the flower will only die when the nutrients are exhausted.

How to distinguish?

When buying, weigh the flowerpot. If the flowerpot is very light, it may be a trick. In addition, you can tap the bottom of the flowerpot with your hands. If the sound is crisp, it also proves that the flowerpot is hollow.

The fifth kind: newly potted flowers

There are some new flowers in the flower market, which may be just rooted and transplanted, or just potted after rotten roots are repaired. These two kinds of flowers have poor adaptability and are easy to be raised to death!

How to distinguish?

When buying flowers, check whether the pot soil is flat and compact. If the surface is loose, don't buy it. In addition, if there are small weeds on the edge of the pot, it means that the pot flower is not a new one, the growing environment is stable, and it's good to buy it home.
