In the past few years, the gardening craze has swept the country, and many people have joined the flower brigade. However, some of the flowers that have been touted as very red are now chilling many flower lovers. They were originally considered to be easy to maintain and have high ornamental value, but in the actual conservation process, various problems were exposed, which made people quite helpless.
Today, let's take a look at the 5 kinds of flowers that were once touted as very popular, but now they have become a laughing stock, how many have you been pitted?
1. Watercress green
Watercress green was once known as a very suitable green plant for indoor maintenance, with round leaves and bright colors, which is very attractive. However, it is not as docile as it is said in actual maintenance.
Many people find that watercress green is not sun-resistant at all, and if exposed to sunlight for a few hours, the leaves will dry up and turn yellow. This surprised many novice flower growers, because they thought that watercress green was an easy plant to care for, but they didn't expect it to be so fragile in the sun.
2. Tea flowers
Camellia attracts countless flower lovers with its gorgeous flowers and rich colors. However, in maintenance, camellia shows the problem of rotting roots at every turn, which makes many people have a headache. Camellia is very strict about water requirements, too much water can cause root rot, and too little water can cause the flowers to wilt. This kind of ungraspable water control is difficult for many novice flower growers to navigate.
In addition, camellia also has high soil requirements and requires loose, well-drained soil. If camellia is grown in unsuitable soil, it can easily lead to poor growth. Because of this, many people no longer raise camellias.
3. The old pile is in full swing
The old pile moon season used to be a very popular flower because of its quaint, vigorous appearance. However, in the actual maintenance, the performance of the old pile moon season is not satisfactory.
Many people find that the activity of the old pile is too poor, the new shoots grow slowly, and the flowers are not as prosperous as expected. This is a disappointment for many people, because they were expecting a scene of blooming flowers, but they didn't expect to end up being a laughing stock.
4, Succulent
Succulents used to be a very popular potted option because they looked cute and drought tolerant. However, in actual maintenance, many people find that succulent leaves are prone to black rot. This phenomenon is usually caused by overwatering or poor soil drainage. Although succulent is drought tolerant, it is not waterlogging tolerant and is prone to rot once the roots are soaked in water for a long time.
Maintaining succulents requires controlling the amount of watering to ensure that the soil drains well. Also, avoid exposing the succulents to strong sunlight to avoid sunburn on the leaves. In conclusion, succulents may seem easy to maintain, but they also require attention to detail.
5. Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are known for their large flower bulbs and variety of colors. However, in actual maintenance, hydrangeas have a high demand for water and need to be watered daily to maintain good growth. This may be a bit unrealistic for busy modern people. In addition, hydrangeas also need the right amount of light and fertilizer, otherwise there may be problems such as flowers not flourishing and colors not bright.
For those who want to care for hydrangeas, it is necessary to prepare a mindset of frequent watering and pay attention to keeping the soil moist. In addition, hydrangeas also have requirements for the pH of the soil, and the pH of the soil needs to be adjusted according to different varieties to ensure that the flowers are brightly colored.
In my opinion, the above 5 kinds of flowers have become "in the past tense", they have lost their former charm and are no longer accepted by flower friends. I hope that when you choose flowers, you can avoid these five kinds of flowers, choose some easy to raise and beautiful flowers to plant, what flowers do you have at home?
