Flowers and plants, indoor flowers
There were many key points and precautions for growing flowers indoors. ** 1. Flower pot and soil ** 1. ** Flower pot selection ** - Choose a flower pot with good ventilation. Common flowerpots were made of plastic, porcelain, clay pots, purple clay pots, and so on. Purple clay pots, pottery pots, and earthen pots had good breathability, which could reduce the difficulty of growing flowers. Porcelain pots had a high appearance, but they were not practical and expensive. At the same time, the size of the flower pot should be appropriate. Small pots for large seedlings were not conducive to the extension of the root system. It was difficult to control the watering amount for small seedlings in large or deep pots, and the soil in the pots had to be changed every other year. 2. ** Soil Requirement ** - The soil must be loose and well-permeated. Granular soil can be used, which has good drainage and fertility, and coconut husks can also be added as a fiber medium. Rotten leaf soil and peaty soil are soft and airy. In order to enhance the soil's penetrability, it can also be mixed with coal cinders, river sand, pearlites, etc. The bottom of the flower pot can be lined with ceramsite, crushed rubble, etc. to facilitate drainage. ** 2. Selection of Flower Species ** - They had to choose according to their own environment. If the lighting was not good, shade-resistant plants could be raised, such as One-leaf Orchid, White Palm, etc., while small space could be used to raise petite flowers, such as cactus, petunias, etc. If you don't have enough experience in growing flowers, you should start with flowers that are easy to care for. ** 3. Key Points of Care ** 1. ** Watering ** - The plants should be watered according to their drought-resistant or wet characteristics. Drought-resistant green plants need to wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering, while wet green plants need to wait until the soil in the pot is dry and wet. The maintenance requirements of the same plant in different seasons were different. It was necessary to give appropriate watering according to the habits of the flowers, the growth state, and the seasons. 2. ** Light ** - The appropriate lighting should be given according to the flower's habits, growth state, and seasonal changes. 3. ** Trimming ** - Cut off overcrowded branches, long branches, weak branches, etc. when the growth is exuberant, which is conducive to ventilation and light to reduce pests and diseases. When the flowers of flowering green plants bloom and wither, and when the flowering period ends, the remaining flowers, branches, and branches with diseases and pests should be cut off in time, and the old and dead branches should be cut off before winter. 4. ** Fertility ** - Follow the principle of thin fertilizer and diligent application, avoid applying thick fertilizer and raw fertilizer. Generally, the fertilizer was applied during the growth period of the green plants, after the flowers died, and during the winter. During the vigorous growth period, the number of fertilizers can be increased appropriately. During the dormant or semi-dormant period, the growth is slow and the demand for fertilizers is small. It is best to apply less or no fertilizer in summer and winter. 5. ** Aeration ** - The indoor green plants should be kept in a well-vented environment, especially in the hot summer and cold winter seasons. In midsummer, when the temperature reached 30 - 35 degrees, poor ventilation was easy to suffer from pests and diseases; when the room temperature was lower than 5 degrees, the windows should be opened for proper ventilation when controlling water and keeping warm. ** 4. Taboo positions for indoor flower growing ** 1. ** Kitchen ** - The kitchen was filled with oil and smoke, and the ventilation was not smooth. The oil and smoke would cause damage to the plants, which was not conducive to the plants 'breathing and photosynthesis. 2. ** Entrance ** - The wind speed when the door was opened and the impact of frequent opening and closing of the door on the light would be detrimental to the growth of plants. It might cause the branches of plants to break, and the intermittent light was not conducive to the growth of plants. 3. ** Next to home appliances ** - Household appliances generate heat when they work. High temperature, dry or humid environments (when household appliances spray water) will affect the health of plants, making it difficult for plants to survive and grow. 4. ** The bathroom ** - The humidity in the bathroom was high, and the steam was not easy to dissipate. Too much humidity would affect the growth of the potted plants. The novel "Mixed Flowers" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Flowers, trees, whatever
There were many references to the relationship between flowers and trees: - In one of the records, the flower looked up at the tree and wondered why the tree was so tall and why it was difficult for it to break through its own limitations. The tree expressed that it did not know why it had grown into a towering tree. The flower was dazzling and the tree was tall and straight. The two had different growth states. - There were also stories about the flowers and trees on the mountain falling in love. The flowers grew beside the trees, singing and dancing for the trees, and the trees sheltered the flowers in the summer and blocked the snow and frost for the flowers in the winter. The two were inseparable like lovers of life and death. Therefore, flowers and trees could be in a contrasting relationship, or they could accompany each other and depend on each other.

exotic flowers and trees
Exotic flowers and trees referred to strange flowers and trees. In myths and legends, there were many strange flowers and trees in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

It was also once regarded as the gateway to the divine realm, the human world, and the underworld. The Xunmu tree was extremely huge and soared into the sky. It had a diameter of thousands of miles. Its branches and leaves were lush and its roots were developed. Zhu Yu grew on the Yaoyao Mountain. It was shaped like a mountain leek and had small green flowers. He did not feel hungry after eating it. Emperor Nvsang is related to the legend of Emperor Yan's second daughter; Immortal tree, people can eat it to achieve longevity; Migu is shaped like a Broussonetia papyrilla tree but has black veins, shining in all directions, people wearing it will not get lost, etc. In reality, there were also some special exotic flowers and trees. For example, the ancient mulberry tree in Kaiyuan Temple was more than 1300 years old. There was a legend of "white lotus flowers blooming in mulberry trees." The trunk was divided into three parts by lightning, but it still grew tenaciously and could bloom. The mahogany tree in Sanchao Lane was a precious tree species in the world. It was about six and a half stories tall, with a diameter of 1.2 meters. It had feather-like compound leaves and many excellent characteristics. The elm and white orchid trees in Jade Rhinoceros Alley had strange shapes, small leaves and red fruits, tough wood and medicinal roots and leaves, while the white orchid trees were evergreen, with large green leaves, white flowers and fragrant flowers. The olive trees on Ninth Street were in the shape of bonsai. The novel "Legend of the Flower Dance" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
