What flowers are suitable for growing in autumn and winter? Latest recommendations

After entering autumn and winter, the temperature gradually drops, and it is exactly the period when all flowers wither. At this time, greenery decreases, and in order to add a touch of green to the home, growing a few pots of flowers and plants is very necessary. But most flowers and plants wither in autumn and winter, so you should choose plants that can still bloom beautifully in the low-temperature seasons of autumn and winter. So which plants are suitable for growing in autumn and winter? Follow the editor to learn about them.

1. Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe is a perennial succulent herb, so its cultivation method is very similar to that of succulents, and it is very easy to grow. During care, as long as it is not watered frequently, it can grow very well, and when it blooms, the flowers are clustered together and extremely beautiful. It also does not have high requirements for soil; only soil with good air permeability is needed. What needs attention when growing kalanchoe is watering. You must wait until the potting soil is dry before watering. Too much watering will affect its growth, and in severe cases cause root rot and plant death.

2. Hyacinth

Hyacinth is one of the easiest flowers to grow in mid-autumn, but its disadvantage is that its ability to bloom again is too poor, and it is basically a one-time bloom. It can be grown both in soil and in water. When beginners grow it, their control of watering is often poor, so water culture is recommended. For water-cultured hyacinth, first, the water level should not be too high; it is enough to touch the bulb, or it is also feasible to leave a little distance from the roots. In any case, do not let the bulb soak in water, so as to prevent rot. After the roots grow out, it is only necessary to ensure that most of the roots are in the water.

3. Wax begonia

Wax begonia, as its name suggests, can bloom all year round, and it blooms very frequently, as if it has endless flowers, and yet such a plant is very easy to grow. When growing it in autumn and winter, you only need to give it sufficient light, and it can grow and bloom very well. Wax begonia likes dryness and fears moisture, so watering should follow the principle of watering thoroughly only after the soil has dried completely. In addition, it blooms frequently, so fertilization must keep up. Basically, once every 10-15 days, a liquid fertilizer should be applied.

4. Cyclamen

Cyclamen is also a very popular flowering potted plant in autumn and winter. Its flowering period lasts as long as 5 months, and it can remain in bloom from autumn and winter all the way to around the Spring Festival. Its flower colors are diverse, and the flowers are large and delicate. In autumn and winter, always pay attention to giving it appropriate scattered light, maintain suitable light, and keep the growing environment well ventilated. It should not remain in a sealed and dark environment for a long time, as this can easily affect its growth. It is also necessary to keep the potting soil slightly moist and avoid either drought or waterlogging in the soil. In addition, the growing environment should be kept at around 10—20 degrees; if too high or too low, manual intervention is needed.

5. Amaryllis

Amaryllis is also called red flower lotus. Its flower colors are rich and varied. Its optimum growth temperature is around 18-25 degrees. When planted in autumn, it only needs to keep the soil moist to grow very well. If you are a beginner grower, it is recommended to first grow native amaryllis, because native varieties are more adaptable, and the bulbs are also cheaper.
