I see everyone saying how they’re writing too flowery, but how do I write flowery? Other

My writing is so… un-flowery! How? (Btw I didn’t know what flair to use, correct me if needed)

Flowery writing is specifically not sophisticated, rather simple and overly descriptive for no good reason to fill space and appear more wholesome.

I think I'm confusing "flowery" with "descriptive," so my example is probably off point.
