Peace of mind is beneficial to health, so flower cultivation for the elderly has a subtle fitness effect, which is not inferior to Qigong, and is highly respected at home and abroad. Raising flowers for the elderly can not only prolong life, but also enjoy life. But the elderly need to pay attention to the following points when growing flowers:

1, master the knowledge of aquaculture.

To raise and plant flowers well, we must master some basic knowledge of indoor flower conservation. You can take flower classes in senior universities, study by yourself, subscribe to relevant newspapers and books, and learn from some experienced people or professional flower field staff.

Step 2 choose potted flowers correctly

For the elderly who newly cultivate potted flowers, they can choose shade-tolerant or semi-shade-tolerant indoor ornamental plants, such as orchids, chlorophytum, Clivia, green radish, ivy, evergreen, pocket coconut, tortoise shell bamboo, nandina, saxifragon, asparagus, Brazilian iron and so on. Balcony flowers can be pomegranate, rose, chrysanthemum, cycad, laurel, cactus and so on. These flowers are light-resistant and crown-shaped. In addition, according to their own physical condition, the elderly also have some flowers and plants that are not suitable for planting at home, such as night lilac, a small evergreen shrub, which can emit a strong fragrance at night, but its smell is harmful to human health. If you put it in the living room or bedroom for a long time, it is easy to make people dizzy, insomnia, cough, and even asthma and boredom. Evergreen is a kind of flower that people prefer to plant, but its juice contains toxins, which can cause itching and dermatitis when it comes into contact with human skin.

3. Careful, patient and persistent

Flowers, like people, have a series of emotional changes, such as emotions, joys and sorrows, so we should carefully observe their growth and take notes carefully during planting. In all aspects of flower cultivation, such as soil preparation, cutting, watering, fertilization, pest control and so on. Take it seriously, operate carefully, and don't do whatever you want.
