× It's not only helps me to reduce my stress but also improve the quality of sleeping by smelling the flower.
✓ It not only helps me to reduce my stress but also improves the quality of sleep by smelling the flower.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'It's' (it is) before 'not only helps', which is ungrammatical. The correct structure is 'It not only helps... but also improves...'. Additionally, 'sleeping' should be the noun 'sleep' here. The verbs 'helps' and 'improves' must agree in form and parallel structure.
× She is very good at it and I always called.
✓ She is very good at it and I always call her.
The phrase 'I always called' incorrectly uses past tense 'called' when the adverb 'always' indicates a habitual action, which requires present tense 'call'. Also, the object 'her' is missing after 'call'.
× She has a green finger.
✓ She has green fingers.
The idiomatic expression is 'green fingers' (plural) to describe someone good at gardening. Using singular 'a green finger' is incorrect.
× She planted a variety of flowers on the balcony of my house.
✓ She planted a variety of flowers on the balcony of my house.
This sentence is correct; no preposition error detected.
× Now there aren't a lot of flowers where I live because I live in the capital city of Taiwan.
✓ Now there aren't many flowers where I live because I live in the capital city of Taiwan.
'A lot of' is less appropriate in negative sentences; 'many' is preferred with countable nouns in negative contexts.
× I think the reason why there aren't a lot of flowers is because flowers are hard to take care of and need to spend a lot of time and money to.
✓ I think the reason why there aren't a lot of flowers is that flowers are hard to take care of and require a lot of time and money.
The phrase 'need to spend a lot of time and money to' is incomplete and awkward. It should be 'require a lot of time and money'. Also, 'is because' is redundant after 'the reason why'; 'is that' is correct.
× No, because there aren't a lot of flowers surrounding my place and it is really hard to find a beautiful flowers.
✓ No, because there aren't many flowers surrounding my place and it is really hard to find beautiful flowers.
'A lot of' is less appropriate in negative sentences; 'many' is preferred. Also, 'a beautiful flowers' mixes singular article 'a' with plural noun 'flowers'; it should be 'beautiful flowers' without 'a'.
× But my mom liked to take the photos of flowers she usually go to the gardens in the cities at.
✓ But my mom likes to take photos of flowers; she usually goes to gardens in the city.
The sentence has multiple errors: 'liked' should be present tense 'likes' to match habitual action; 'go' should be 'goes' for third person singular; 'the photos of flowers' should be 'photos of flowers' without 'the'; 'in the cities at' is incorrect preposition usage and word order; corrected to 'in the city'.
× I think there are more and more people send flowers to others right now than before.
✓ I think there are more and more people sending flowers to others right now than before.
The verb 'send' should be in the '-ing' form 'sending' after 'people' to indicate ongoing action or trend.
× It is because they influenced by the drama of sending flowers to represent their love and respect to the significant others.
✓ It is because they are influenced by the drama of sending flowers to represent their love and respect to significant others.
The verb 'influenced' needs the auxiliary 'are' to form the passive voice 'are influenced'. Also, 'the significant others' should be 'significant others' without 'the'.
