I am happy to answer the question of how your life has changed since you started growing flowers.
I remember when I first settled in Beijing, I was busy working hard for life every day. I spent about 4 hours on the road every day. I had no time to take care of things other than basic life. I really lived for the sake of life, busy and exhausted. !
What changed me to start growing flowers was an accidental opportunity. A good friend came to my house as a guest. She said, your house is too tidy and spacey. It doesn’t feel like home, except for the necessary things. There is no trace of life in the furniture and appliances, giving people a deserted feeling. It is recommended to raise some flowers and plants!
I followed her advice and started my flower gardening journey. In my spare time, I water the flowers, fertilize them, remove yellow leaves, and take cuttings. Life is no longer just about making money to support my family. Flower gardening makes me feel happy, and my personality is more cheerful than before. With flowers and plants decorating my home, I look more beautiful. It becomes full and lively, and every time I see the green and vibrant green in the room, I feel inexplicably happy.
Especially when people come to my house as guests, they will praise the flowers and plants I have raised. I will be humble and polite while proudly sharing my flower gardening methods with them and promoting the various benefits of flower gardening. , I was so happy and satisfied at this time. I was always glad that I listened to my best friend’s advice and raised so many flowers. I also sincerely thank my best friend for her sincerity!
Growing flowers can really change people’s mood, and the colors of flowers bring infinite vitality to life!
After I started growing flowers, many friends said that I seemed like a completely different person. I had changed a lot.
In the past, after get off work, I would be bored. I would either drink, play cards, sing and dance with a few friends late at night, or watch TV or play mobile games until my eyes were red and swollen and I felt dizzy. Life is irregular, health is under pressure for a long time, and the body is getting worse and worse. There is no passion for work, no sense of responsibility, no responsibility, just dawdling around all day, and life is in a mess.
By chance, I saw a lot of plants and flowers in the living room, terrace and bedroom of a friend’s house. The flowers were in full bloom, the fragrance was fragrant, and the environment was warm. I was shocked, and even more envious. I thought he was so rich. So I asked him for advice on how to grow plants and flowers. He was very enthusiastic and specially gave me two pots of his most precious clivias, and took the trouble to teach me how to care for them. In fact, I was very nervous at the time, afraid that I wouldn't be able to make a living.
With the mentality of giving it a try, after taking it home, I watered it every day, fertilized and loosened the soil every now and then. As a result, the leaves withered within half a year. My wife said that I was not the material for growing flowers, so I didn’t give it a day. I was not convinced that I was messing around, so I consulted my friends and looked up information, and finally saved these two pots of Clivia. The joy I felt cannot be expressed in words. Since then, I have fallen in love with growing flowers and plants.
By growing flowers, I have changed many of my past cognitions and habits, such as extreme personality, being overly opinionated, being unreasonable, irresponsible, and overeating, etc. All have been improved. At the same time, through flower cultivation, I have met many flower lovers who are educated, tasteful and successful in their careers, which has enriched my entertainment life, expanded my personal connections, and benefited a lot.
I am a second-generation farmer, and I am speaking from a family, for reference only.
Changes in my life since I started growing flowers:
Change 1: Plants, like people, have their own lives, and only life itself can bloom into true beauty and live endlessly.
Change 2: The sensitivity of perceiving the world has increased, and the granularity of observing the world has become finer. As the saying goes, "One leaf knows autumn," "One flower, one world, one leaf, one bodhi." The process of quietly appreciating those flowers is actually a good deliberate practice, allowing you to see the world around you in a different way and dimension than before. It’s different. For example, I used to think that autumn and winter in Guangzhou came very late and there was no autumn feeling, but now, I can keenly feel the changes in the weather in different months. In summer, the temperature here is very high, but from the new leaves of roses and the growth of bulbous plants, you can feel the difference in temperature between day and night, length of day, air humidity, etc. from the previous ones, and you can begin to understand and embrace the seasons in subtle ways. beauty.
Change 3: When my friends know that I grow flowers, they will think of me immediately when they pick up flowers, have extra flowers at home, or even collect seeds while traveling.
Recently, I receive flowers and seeds every day, which makes me feel so happy! Raising a small seedling picked up or given by others is actually more fulfilling than buying flowers yourself. As a friend asked me, is buying flowers a pleasure? I said, "Consumption cannot produce happiness, only creation can produce happiness. It is easier to buy flowers than to grow them."
How has your life changed since you started growing flowers?
Grow flowers, feel the freshness and flexibility of life, love life, love life, and love the people around you.
Some people think that flower gardening is only for the elderly, and they only grow flowers when they are bored after retirement. I think it is wrong. Women can cultivate their temperament by growing flowers, men can hone their temperament by growing flowers, and old people can enrich themselves by growing flowers. In life, growing flowers has no regard for gender, age or occupation, as long as you like it.
After I started to grow flowers, my life has changed in the following ways
First: Change my character
After growing flowers, although I am very busy in spring, summer, autumn and winter, But as my home becomes more beautiful, my mood becomes better, my character will change unconsciously. I didn’t like furry animals before, but when I see birds flying around on the balcony, they chirp and there are bird droppings, I feel... When people are depressed, their hearts become very soft after growing flowers. When they see any small animals, they feel spiritual. When they see the birds, they will say hello, get some food, and put it on the flower basket so that they can eat.
Second: Strengthen concentration
During the process of growing flowers, I will carefully examine the growth characteristics of flowers, stems, leaves, and fruits, and observe their living habits. Flowers are very delicate and require meticulous care, which requires our concentration.
Third: Cultivate a sense of beauty
Before growing flowers, I usually wear casual sportswear, and I don’t pay much attention to color matching. After growing flowers, because I need to match flowers and plants at home, My aesthetics are improving unknowingly, I am more sensitive to colors, and I prefer soft skirts when I wear them. Flower gardening really changes people from the inside out. Flowers are beautiful things, which are conducive to the cultivation of people's sense of beauty.
Fourth: Cultivate temperament
People who like to grow flowers are more emotional, responsible and responsible, because maintaining flowers and plants also requires emotional investment. Be serious, careful, honest and considerate, and know how to take care of the people around you just like you take care of your own flowers and plants.
People who like to grow flowers must be hard-working, kind, gentle, loving, and patient.
Liking flowers is a mood and a practice. Flowers bloom and wither, the seasons change. The joy of blooming and the faint sadness of flowers withering make people feel the impermanence of life. Looking at the delicate flowers, Watching the new buds reveal themselves, people become gentle, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and their hearts become peaceful. They can get rid of the troubles of the world, feel the unique charm of nature, and start another kind of spiritual practice in life!
Growing flowers is a science. There is no upper limit on the technical level. It can be said that there are mountains beyond the mountains and there are heavens beyond the sky. The knowledge involved is very extensive; there is a bottom line. In the process of growing flowers, you know nothing about the varieties you plant and violate the habits of the flowers themselves. If you follow the rules, it will "protest" and ultimately make you lose everything. I have a short history of growing flowers. After I fell in love with growing flowers, there were four changes in my life:
1. Changed my hobbies. In the past, my hobbies were one "moving" and one "quiet". "Movement" means exercising. I like walking, jogging, climbing, playing table tennis and badminton, etc.; "quietness" means surfing the Internet, reading books, watching TV, and writing articles. Flower cultivation perfectly combines my active and static hobbies. It involves both hands-on cultivation and learning about flower cultivation.
2. Changed living habits. I am a soldier, and the living habits I have developed over decades will not change easily. However, after growing flowers on my own, my living habits still have some adjustments and changes. For example, every summer in the past, we had to "travel around the world" and go wherever it was cool to escape the heat. Since I have been growing flowers, the hotter the weather, the less I dare to leave my house for a long time, because flowers are alive, and if you don’t take care of them for two days, all your efforts may be wasted. I don’t feel comfortable leaving it to my family, so I can only change my living habits.
3. Changed aesthetics. In the past, no consideration was given to the aesthetics of the balcony, and it was basically used to perform its basic functions, such as cooling clothes, storing sundries, etc. Since growing flowers, through careful design, layout, bonsai and flowers, the balcony and living room have become more colorful and pleasing to the eye.
4. Changed the concept. In the past, it was believed that flowers and plants were essentially similar to growing crops, and fertilizers would attract flies and mosquitoes; now, growing flowers and plants is mainly viewed from an aesthetic perspective. Once the concept changed, the smell of manure no longer smelled like flowers.
In short, I have gained a lot from the "Four Changes". It has made my retirement life more fulfilling, my hobbies and interests more extensive, my desire to pursue and update new knowledge stronger, and my concept of loving life more firmly.
After I like growing flowers, my life becomes more fulfilling. When I have nothing to do, I water the flowers, bask in the sun, and take pictures. Time passes quickly. After I like growing flowers, my life becomes interesting. I feel bored; after I like growing flowers, I learn to observe things carefully, my heart becomes calmer, I am not irritable when things happen, I have patience, and I live a more optimistic life; After I like growing flowers, I take everything lightly , I have figured out things that I couldn’t figure out, my mind is open-minded, etc.
Why do you say that? I learned everything from observing the spider plants that I raised. One morning, I found that the two pots of orchids had many small flower buds, which seemed to bloom today, so I put the flower pots in a sunny place and went to do other things. After finishing, I took a small stool and stood quietly in front of the flowers, listening to the sound of flowers blooming. The flowering period of Chlorophytum is very short, and it only takes one day from about to bloom to withering. I truly witnessed with my own eyes the wonder of flowers blooming silently and picturesquely, and flowers falling silently and poetically... In an instant, I realized that life is like flowers and grass, but not as calm and calm as flowers and grass. Flowers bloom when they should bloom, not because you appreciate them or not, nor do they wither when they should thanks, whether you miss them or not. Maybe it’s because flowers will bloom again after they die, but people will eventually be gone forever. From this I learned to accept all the good and bad things in life. I understand that all things in the universe are subject to reincarnation and are not subject to human will. The same is true for all things, flowers and plants. How can humans be embarrassed?
Therefore, after I became fond of growing flowers, it changed my lifestyle and attitude in life, such as being calm, careful, observant, patient, calm, indifferent to fame and fortune, happy, positive and optimistic.
Hello, I’m @夜游生活, and I’m very happy to answer your questions. How has your life changed since you started growing flowers?
Actually, I liked growing flowers when I was a child. At that time, in the countryside, I grew the vegetables in the vegetable field in front of my house, the fruit trees in the backyard, and the flowers under the eaves. At that time, materials were poor and there was no such thing as buying flowers. The flowers I raise are all relatively common varieties in rural areas, including cannas, cacti, prickly pear, impatiens, tuberose, marigolds, cassia lily (i.e. potted grass), orchids, etc. They were all harvested from neighbors, classmates, and relatives. The beauty of flowers planted a magnificent seed in my little heart.
I have been living away from home since junior high school, and later studied and worked in other places. They live in dormitories and rental houses, and they also change places and houses due to work reasons. Working and living in a big city has a very strong sense of rhythm. Although I work nine to five, I also spend a lot of time on the road, bus, and subway. After get off work, I either work a part-time job, participate in training to recharge, or participate in group activities, so I don’t have time and energy to grow flowers. Therefore, the road to flower cultivation was stranded for several years.
When I started growing flowers again, I finally found a city where I could live permanently and had a small nest to settle down. The balcony is not big, but it is still my own territory. Come and take a look, the white jasmine flowers, the sunny juice balcony, the cute succulents, the fiery red nandina...
After growing flowers, I realized my childhood dream, I cultivated my moral character, and I Life is more fulfilling and full of sunshine. It makes my tense and monotonous life more colorful and full of gratitude. Thanks.
I personally like growing flowers. I feel that the biggest change in my life after growing flowers is that there are more flowers and plants at home. Yes, there are too many bottles and cans. Flowers and plants died one after another, and various flower pots were left idle one after another. This is the real life of every flower grower. Behind the beautiful flowers and plants are the things you keep buying and buying.
Then after growing flowers, the original monotonous life becomes less monotonous. When I come home from get off work, I see the flowers I grew. Some of them have gorgeous flowers, or some have faint green leaves. Watch it quietly for a while, water the flowers, and prune the branches and leaves.
Taking care of your favorite flowers and plants will make the hard work of the day disappear in an instant.
After growing flowers, I have become more fond of cleaning. I always feel that if the home is not tidy, it will not match the flowers and plants I grow. So I always like to keep my home clean. Many life changes bring about the yearning for a better life, so growing flowers still brings a lot of changes to life.

Hello, I think the biggest change in my life after I started growing flowers is that I have something to rely on when I am irritable, and my mood is much better than before.
Actually, I didn’t like growing flowers before. I thought growing flowers was quite boring and a waste of time. Only retired people would grow flowers and fish to pass the time and change my attitude. I would also like to thank my current company for the idea.
You can see the row of plants in the picture, most of which are succulents. This row of plants is right next to my desk. When I first came to the company, I saw the plants around my desk. , I thought the colleagues here were quite free and had a lot of time to plant flowers.
Later, one time, one of my plans was rejected by the leader 7.8 times. I didn’t know how to modify it. It was really annoying. I put down the computer, turned around in the swivel chair, and saw a colleague. I was watering succulents next to me. I went over to watch him water the succulents and asked him how the vitality of the succulents was. Need to water every day? How much water should be poured each time?
He talked to me with gusto, and I could tell right away that he was very professional about flower cultivation. I listened to him carefully. Later, he asked me what I was busy with recently, and I told him the plan I was worried about. He said, why don't you ask me? I have made a plan before, which is similar to this one. You can use it for reference. I immediately saw hope and quickly passed the leadership's approval with his reference plan.
Since then, I have had a different view on growing flowers. There is a big green basket next to me. Every time I stare at the computer and my eyes feel numb, I will look at it for a while. Every time I feel irritable, I put down my work and water the flowers to see if they are growing better and better.
Later, I also raised flowers at home. Although I was in a hurry at the beginning, I read more about popular science and studied more, and I was able to grow them well. Since I grew flowers, I feel that my life has improved. It’s much more interesting than before. Watching my little flowers become more and more beautiful, I feel a sense of accomplishment and very happy. Therefore, I think growing flowers is a good hobby. It can bring a lot of fun and joy to life, and it can also calm down the irritable mood. Why not do it.
