What is the secret of the care of plants before the sale? What preparations treated with the flowers? After all, they have experienced a long way from abroad and arrived in very presentable condition.

First of all I must say that the decorative type of product - merit only producer. Getting on the counter, the flower loses all dressings and usually, by contrast, receives improper care. Therefore, eliciting sekretiki sellers flower shops does not make sense.

The main task - to create a compact bush, ready to bloom by age. For example: fuchsia with squat shoots and lush cloud leaves, looks much nicer than with conventional branches. Often this trick crank with seedlings flowering annual flowers.

Secondary effect: the plant "throwing power" to set buds, rather than a set of green mass. Again into the hands of the seller! Such means constraining growth without compromising the number and size of buds, called retardants. Among Russian agents have "athlete" and "Chunky".

But that's not all.

The second objective - to encourage abundant flowering. Not just abundant, and delights even the person indifferent to houseplants. And at the amateur grower should definitely begin to flow salivating!

Here help the 2 categories of drugs:

  • The first task - to ensure the plant chemical elementsFrom which flowering depends. The emphasis is on phosphorus (P). Look at your fertilizer for houseplants: certainly, a part of it no more than 16%. A manufacturers use "fuses blooming" - means that the amount of phosphorus reaches 50-60%. Our analogue is very simple: a regular potassium monophosphate, standing less than 100 rubles. However, it must be applied very carefully and often. If you are interested - I write a detailed article with photos.

It is worth adding that the producers keep growing up items under greenhouse conditions. Literally. All together, this gives a stunning result! Put a "Thumbs Up" if you were wondering. Also I recommend that you read: What vendors are added to water for cut flowers? They do not fade for 2-3 weeks and more
