× I love to plant flowers in pots at my home and one month ago I bought 2 flower plants, 1 daffodil and 1 rose plant and I put it into my plot.
✓ I love to plant flowers in pots at my home, and one month ago I bought two flowering plants: a daffodil and a rose, and I put them into my plot.
Plural forms and number agreement: '2 flower plants' is better as 'two flowering plants'; '1 daffodil and 1 rose plant' should use articles and singular nouns 'a daffodil and a rose'; pronoun agreement: 'it' is incorrect for multiple plants, use 'them'. Use commas and conjunctions to join clauses correctly. Suggestions: write numbers as words in formal speech, match plural/singular nouns with appropriate pronouns and articles.
× I daily do watering to palm tree for three months and also use composed for.
✓ I watered the palm tree daily for three months and also used compost.
Incorrect verb forms and nouns: 'do watering' is unnatural; use past tense 'watered' because action occurred over a past period. 'To palm tree' needs article 'the palm tree'. 'Composed' is likely a misspelling of 'compost' or 'compound'; 'use composed for' is incorrect. Suggestions: use 'watered' for habitual past actions and the noun 'compost' for fertilizer.
× When I was young I grew a palm plant in a big pot that was gifted by my mother on my birthday.
✓ When I was young, I grew a palm plant in a big pot that my mother gifted me for my birthday.
Past tense and sentence structure: 'that was gifted by my mother on my birthday' is passive and slightly awkward. Use active form 'my mother gifted me' and preposition 'for my birthday'. Add a comma after introductory clause. Suggestions: prefer active voice for clarity and ensure correct preposition for occasions.
× Yes, I have a small idea how to grow a plant.
✓ Yes, I have a basic idea of how to grow a plant.
Incorrect collocation and article: 'a small idea' is unnatural; 'basic' or 'a general idea' is better. Also 'idea how' requires 'idea of how'. Suggestions: use common collocations 'a basic idea of how' or 'a general idea about how'.
× Recently I grow plant of palm tree in a small planter.
✓ Recently I grew a palm plant in a small planter.
Tense and article errors: 'Recently' with simple past requires past tense 'grew' not 'grow'. 'Plant of palm tree' is unnatural; use 'a palm plant' and include the article 'a'. Suggestions: match tense to time adverbials and use natural noun phrases.
× I do watering twice a week and also use compose fertilizer for their growth and I put the plant in the.
✓ I water it twice a week and also use compost as fertilizer for its growth, and I put the plant in the...
Incorrect verb form 'do watering' should be 'water' for routine actions. 'Compose' is incorrect; 'compost' is correct noun. Pronoun agreement: use singular pronoun 'it' or 'its' for a single plant. Sentence incomplete 'in the.' needs completion such as 'in the shade' or 'in the sun'. Suggestions: use simple present for routines, correct noun 'compost', and ensure sentence completion.
× As I have a little idea about Chinese people send plant as a gift, About a month ago I watched a YouTube video of Chinese One man is giving planter to his wife on as anniversary gift.
✓ As I have a little idea about Chinese people sending plants as gifts, about a month ago I watched a YouTube video of a Chinese man giving a planter to his wife as an anniversary gift.
Several issues: noun/verb forms and pronouns. 'about Chinese people send plant' should be 'about Chinese people sending plants' (gerund and plural). Capitalization 'About' mid-sentence corrected. 'Chinese One man' incorrect word order; use 'a Chinese man'. Remove extra 'is' and fix article 'a planter'. Preposition use: 'on as anniversary gift' should be 'as an anniversary gift'. Suggestions: use gerund after 'about', pluralize 'plants', correct article usage, and proper word order.
