In recent years, with the rise of social media, various influencer flowers have appeared frequently on the Internet, triggering waves of buying frenzy. From hydrangeas to upside-down golden bells, to fortune trees and triangular plums, these flowers are attracting attention for their unique appearance and influencer effect. However, for those who are not diligent people, try to avoid buying these "Internet celebrity flowers" and avoid paying IQ taxes.
1. Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas prefer moist environments, so they need to be watered in the right amount every day, but not so much that the roots rot. In addition, hydrangeas have higher requirements for light, so you should choose a location that is bright but not exposed to direct sunlight.
In addition to this, regular fertilization and pruning are also key to hydrangea blooming. If you don't have the time and energy to take care of it, maybe hydrangeas aren't a good fit for you.
When caring for hydrangeas, it is not only necessary to prune the branches and leaves regularly, but also to pay attention to the health of the plants. Hydrangeas are susceptible to pests and diseases, such as aphids, spider mites, etc., so they need to be checked regularly and control accordingly.
2. Hang the Admiralty upside down
Upside-down Admiralty has a relatively low need for light and is susceptible to strong sunlight, so it needs to be shaded in time. This requires a certain amount of patience and meticulousness from the maintainer, who often observes the growth of the plants and adjusts the shading measures in time according to the weather conditions. If you live a fast-paced life and often can't take care of these details, then maybe upside down Admiralty is not an option for you.
In addition to shading, it is also necessary to check the soil moisture regularly when maintaining the upside-down Admiralty. Upside-down Admiralty prefers a moist but waterless environment, so it is necessary to control the amount of watering to avoid root rot. In addition, regular removal of wilted leaves and flowers can help promote new growth and maintain the beauty of the plant.
3. Fortune tree
Fortune trees grow at a fast rate and can easily grow out of place if they are not pruned in time. At the same time, fortune trees also need plenty of sunlight and proper water to maintain a healthy growth state.
So, if you don't take the time to prune it regularly and keep an eye on its growth, maybe the Fortune Tree isn't a good candidate for you. In addition to regular pruning, it is also necessary to pay attention to controlling the amount of watering to avoid excessive root rot, and at the same time pay attention to whether the plant is attacked by pests and take timely control measures.
4. Triangle plum
Triangle plum is loved for its gorgeous and colorful flowers, however, regular fertilization is required for the triangle plum to bloom healthily for a long time. Fertilization provides the nutrients that plants need to grow and flower. However, fertilization also requires skill, and excessive fertilization can lead to poor plant growth or the growth of pests and diseases.
Therefore, it takes a certain amount of care and patience to care for the Triangle Plum, and if you don't have the time or the heart to put the effort into doing so, it may not be the right choice for you.
When maintaining the triangular plum, in addition to regular fertilization, it is also necessary to pay attention to water and light control. Triangle plum prefers a sunny environment, but it cannot be exposed to strong sunlight. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a suitable planting location to avoid exposure to the sun.
While the various "influencer flowers" are favored for their unique appearance, caring for them requires a certain amount of patience, care, and diligence. If you are a person who lacks patience or has a fast pace of life, then perhaps do not follow the trend and buy these plants rashly, so as not to pay the so-called "IQ tax". Choose plants that suit your lifestyle, so that you can truly enjoy the fun of raising flowers.
