    These days, go to the flower market for a turn, and the crazy price forces you to buy online Take the example of the hydroponic hyacinth I bought last winter At first, I bought two sets of hyacinth in Qingshiqiao, one bulb with one plastic container, each set costs 25 yuan The boss said it was like I had taken the super shit Go home and search on Taobao For the same thing, Taobao's big sellers actually sell only 9.9 yuan (and a set of them also includes mail, so they don't know where their profits come from)! A mouthful of blood spit out, bought 3 sets, also bought a few narcissus bulbs by the way, all cheaper than Qingshiqiao half Wen / xiaoorange maybe you will say that the plants in Sansheng village are cheaper than those in Qingshiqiao Although you say so, compared with online shopping, there is no price advantage in any real market (unless you wholesale a lot at a time) Besides, the distance from downtown to Sansheng village is not short How can it be compared with online shopping and waiting for goods? Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages Online shopping for plants also has risks In addition, the hydroponic hyacinth and narcissus bulbs that I bought online last winter are basically alive and blooming, but I still feel cheated As like as two peas, I bought 3 sets of hyacinth, which sells more than 20 kinds of hyacinth, and the white ones, purple and orange are chosen After sending them to the box, I also put on stickers on each bulb, but the last flowers made me laugh and cry 3 sets are all red and red like a triplet Narcissus is even more legendary When I bought it, I believed the seller's description I chose several kinds of "Narcissus" with colorful flowers For example, one of them is a blue petal, which is very beautiful Of course, I didn't see the beautiful blue flowers at last All the Narcissus are the basic ones with white outside and yellow inside Although they are also very fragrant and beautiful, I still yearn for the blue Narcissus and am angry at the seller's deception Compared with me, one of my friends had a worse experience of shopping plants online At that time, she bought a lot of seedlings on the Internet When she received them, half of them died At last, under her rescue, the remaining half survived only a part The most direct cause of this situation is the problems in packaging and transportation Packaging is the seller's responsibility, and the problems encountered in transportation are force majeure At the same time, specific plants can't survive those days on the road in a specific season If you meet reliable sellers online, TA will tell you honestly, don't buy this kind of product recently, and it's not dead or half dead to send it to you Of course, the price advantage of online shopping for plants is still overwhelming Therefore, if you can do the following, online shopping for plants is also worth recommending: 1 Learn more about the growth habits of plants and the season suitable for planting before buying, and communicate with the seller if you have any problems; 2 Pay attention to the plant specifications and dimensions in the seller's description, otherwise you may not find where the plants are after unpacking, and how do you spend money to buy such a small plant 3 It's better to start with cheap plants, accumulate more experience, and then try higher priced plants Tips to avoid risks in online plant shopping / wanshitu / Zhang Ming1, Suqian No matter what plants you want to buy, try not to buy the plants whose delivery address is in Suqian - you have to know that after you receive the plants purchased online, you can at least wait until they bloom to confirm whether the goods are "right version" Most of the buyer's comments are written in a hurry Many Suqian sellers' online shop address is written in Beijing, Shanghai and other places It's better to ask the boss for a phone number to find the location of the number before purchase In addition, please be alert to the merchants with the same pictures 2 Express responsible businesses will use cylindrical or triangular special cartons to pack plants, which will leave as much space as possible for plants Before delivering goods, good merchants will trim the branches and leaves of plants reasonably In order to reduce the burden of plants, some branches and leaves should be removed first For small woody plants, the damage caused by express delivery will not be great, but for gramineous plants such as small bamboo, 3-day express delivery is enough to make them completely wither Online shopping for plants and express delivery are basically uncontrollable risks 3 Ignorant merchants should not choose a Taobao shop because it looks very fresh and pleasant The owner of such a plant shop often asks three questions Be sure to talk to your boss before you buy plants For example, when you want to buy an imported succulent plant with extremely beautiful pictures, remember the words of the "suit" business: where is the original place? What about the native environment? Root system? Requirements for temperature and soil? Under what circumstances will it become a gorgeous color? Ignorance and love to pretend that small fresh businesses are not friends of plants, they are plant killers 4 In Zhejiang Province, there are some professional plant businesses that have grown diseases and insect pests They have their own nurseries and greenhouses, which means that diseases and insect pests may infect each other among plants Common diseases and insect pests such as powdery mildew, rust, red spider and so on may follow the plants purchased online to your home, which is very easy to deal with: avermectin, chlorothalonil and Flower God are always available at home Online shopping is full of meat How to classify it is a problem Recently, I am addicted to online shopping for plants Everything starts with the gorgeous hyacinth on the colleague's desk After the Spring Festival, four kinds of balls were placed neatly on my colleagues' desks At first, we didn't pay much attention to them As time went on, the little balls began to blossom, and the colors were not the same March was the season of bright spring The open letters on my desks added a little spring to the dull working environment We all inquired about it in succession Where can I buy a good-looking hyacinth? I didn't expect my colleague to say "I bought it online" lightly One word arouses thousands of waves Everyone asks for the website one after another, and starts to start with various plants on the magic Taobao Thinking that the flowering period of hyacinth is almost over, I start with some seeds that will bloom in May and June, and prepare to plant on the balcony Later, in the process of Taobao, a colleague found an online shop with a succulent plant nursery, which is good in quality and cheap in price It is only for wholesale instead of retail Each variety can be sold at 10 prices, or the total number can be more than 50 to start at a low price Therefore, we have changed from the original single fight to the mass group purchase One person is responsible for counting the varieties and quantities that you want to buy, placing an order in a unified way, and finally distributing them to all according to the list of purchases I didn't expect that you put together more than 300 pots of succulent plants The quantity is astonishing Even the owner of the nursery is asking if we went wholesale and retail The process of waiting for receiving goods is long, because I'm really worried that these living plants will be damaged in the transportation process The plant seeds I bought before are OK Now I'm buying delicate and fleshy plants I'm still very worried about the accidents in the transportation Until the three big boxes of kraft cartons appear prominently at the guard room, my heart is hanging The shopkeeper carefully wrapped each pot of succulent plants with newspapers, and didn't sprinkle too much planting soil It's just embarrassing that no one of us can classify them after buying such succulent plants We just know what kind of plants they look the same on the side, but we all show up But, had to open the shop's online shop, according to the above links and pictures one by one, it is a huge project Fortunately, several colleagues worked together to distribute all of our meat and secretly decided not to engage in such large-scale group buying any more, which was too frustrating In this way, I sprinkled the plant seeds I bought online in the long flowerpot on the balcony According to the tips given by the store, I took good care of them More than 10 pots of succulent plants I bought were put on the desk When there was sunshine, I would move them to the balcony to have a sun exposure, but they were also very healthy Recently, the seeds of sown grass flowers have also begun to produce delicate flowers I'm really looking forward to the day when they bloom.
