In winter, many flower stalls are filled with flowering plants.
However, those who have dealt with them probably know that such flowers do not live long.
Let's figure out how to actually take care of them so as not to throw a drooping bush into the trash.
The nuances of choice
The long life of a plant depends primarily on the right choice. Make sure that you are not sold a freshly transplanted flower, which is recognized by slightly drooping leaves and easy removal from the pot.
You should also reject a specimen whose roots are visible in the drainage hole or does not have enough leaves and shoots. And you should not buy a plant where mold is visible in the pot.
Also pay attention to the flowers: if there are many unblown buds, then the plant will delight you with flowers for a long time. If it has already bloomed, it is better to pay attention to another specimen.
The new settler's home should be protected from drafts and should not be moved immediately to new soil. The adaptation period for plants lasts about two weeks.
