Recently, Huahua is really greedy when she sees her friends showing off their beautiful pictures in the community every day. When she has time, she sneaks to the flower market to take a look. She feels uncomfortable if she doesn’t buy a pot. However, Huahua found that there are many flower markets. Mao Ni, be sure to recognize these strange flowers when you encounter them, otherwise you will be deceived!
Clephus chinensis and cabbage lily
The celestial lily was very popular a while ago. Many friends said it would not bloom. In all likelihood, you bought the cabbage lily. Look carefully at the picture below. The lotus seeds in the bowl on the left are slightly smaller and fatter, while the lotus seeds in the vegetable on the right are larger and slender.
Celery can bloom when grown in a pond, but we can only put it in a bucket after buying it. No matter how bright the sun is, it will only grow leaves but not bloom. No wonder my friends have been waiting for several months. Not open!
Golden branches and jade leaves tied with red flowers
Every time I go to the flower market, I can see a bunch of "Golden branches and jade leaves" with small red flowers. In fact, Golden branches and jade leaves are a variety imported from Africa and are difficult to find in China. How do you grow flowers?
If you look closely, you will see that these small red flowers are all made of paper, with wires inserted in the middle of the leaves. It is really impossible to tell them apart unless you look closely!
In addition to the above tricks, there are also medicines for the golden branches and jade leaves. After the medicine is applied, the leaves turn pink, which can attract the eye. When you buy it home, the color will slowly fade away, and it will turn into a pot of "green vegetables" again. ~
Pepperwood pretends to be fragrant wood
As soon as summer comes, merchants start touting "mosquito repellent", which is actually fragrant wood. However, 80% of the fragrant wood on the market is faked as pepperwood. , can you tell the difference?
The top of the real fragrant wood leaves is a pair instead of just one. It also has a light fragrance and has a slight mosquito repellent effect, but the pepper wood has no smell.
Colorful succulents treated with medicine
There are always some colorful succulents in the succulent shop. These are called medicinal brocades. Huahua specifically talked about them. They all affect the photosynthesis of succulents through medicine. , it is very difficult to care for after discoloration and its life span is very short!
If you have already bought the medicinal brocade, Huahua recommends that you quickly put it in a cool place to grow it. Don't let it shine in the sun. You should also water it less. If it can survive fading, then everything will be fine!
Strange blue crab claw orchid
Nowadays, the cultivation technology is strong, and the flowers come in more colors. Many unscrupulous merchants take advantage of this and sell some rare colors to attract you. In fact, they are all fake, such as the blue crab claw orchid below.
When Huahua saw it, there were still people buying it. Everyone must remember that there are red, rose-red, pink, white, and orange varieties of crab claws, but there is no blue variety!
Poplar branches turn into four-season plum blossoms
The one below looks like it has a well-developed root system and a bright flowering picture. The vendor said that it can bloom in all four seasons and is called "Four Seasons Rich Plum".
In fact, it is made of poplar buds stuck to the roots of trees. It will not survive at all. The pictures are also photoshopped. The elders in the family are the most susceptible to deception, so be careful.
Various leafless seedlings
When buying flowers, it is best to buy seedlings with leaves. When encountering such bare seedlings without leaves, they say they are roses, camellias, and bougainvillea. Maybe it's some kind of wild tree root.
