As soon as spring arrives and the weather warms up, it's time for all kinds of climbing experts to take the stage again! Whether it's roses, clematis, or bougainvillea and hydrangeas... they take turns showing off, making your balcony stunningly beautiful!

Rose

As soon as spring arrives, roses start shooting up shoots and buds, and before long they'll be bursting with blooms! Whether made into an arch, a flower wall, or a flower column, they're all super beautiful!

How do you care for roses in spring?

1. Plenty of sunlight

Roses love plenty of sunlight. If you want roses to bloom abundantly, you must give them plenty of sunlight. It's best to put them on a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill. If you have a yard, growing them in the yard is even better!

2. Apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer

If you want roses to bloom large and abundantly, you must supplement with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. If the roses are grown outdoors, you can bury fish guts not far from the rose roots. If you're growing them on a balcony, then you can only use fish guts after they've been composted.

3. Pay attention to pest control

In spring, roses are especially prone to aphids. You can soak tobacco shreds in water for 1-2 days, then dilute with clean water and put it in a spray bottle, spraying it on the rose plants to prevent aphids from harming the roses.

Bougainvillea

Every time I see someone else's bougainvillea, I feel downright envious! After all, where I am in Qingdao, the sunlight really doesn't meet the requirements, nothing like Southern flower lovers, where bougainvillea can bloom in all four seasons!

How do you care for bougainvillea in spring?

1. Plenty of sunlight

If you want bougainvillea flowers to bloom more and more brilliantly, plenty of sunlight is essential. Normally, you must put bougainvillea on a south-facing windowsill or an open south-facing balcony. If you have a small courtyard, be sure to put it in the courtyard. The more sunlight, the more vivid the blooms!

2. Give enough water

Spring is exactly when bougainvillea's growth gradually speeds up, so watering must keep up, roughly once every 3-5 days. Normally don't forget to spray water on the leaves and the surrounding air too. If you water too little in spring, it's easy to cause insufficient humidity, which leads to bougainvillea dropping its leaves.

3. Fertilize more

Bougainvillea loves fertilizer. After it warms up in spring, apply sufficient nitrogen fertilizer roughly once every 10-15 days; this can be decomposed soybean fertilizer or rice-washing water. Before flowering, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer; you can spray monopotassium phosphate on the leaves 2-3 times. If you accidentally use too much urea on bougainvillea, it will cause the bougainvillea to only grow leaves and not bloom.

Hydrangea

Having talked about spring flowers, let me finally introduce a flower that prefers summer, and that's the hydrangea!

How do you care for hydrangeas in spring?

1. Avoid direct sunlight

Hydrangeas can't take long periods of direct sunlight; 4 hours a day is enough. The rest of the time, it's best to put them in a place with good indirect light, and pay attention to ventilation, otherwise they easily attract pests and diseases.

2. Fertilize more in spring

Starting in March, hydrangea branches gradually enter the sprouting stage. After that, you can apply liquid fertilizer roughly once every 2 weeks; the fertilizer should mainly be one rich in phosphorus and potassium, such as fish gut fertilizer or bone meal fertilizer.

3. Color adjustment

Some hydrangeas bloom pink, and some bloom blue - this is the result of color adjustment. Generally, soil with an acidic pH produces blue flowers, while soil that leans alkaline produces red flowers. If you want the soil to lean acidic, you can add a bit of white vinegar, ferrous sulfate, or aluminum sulfate, all of which work.

That's all for today's introduction.

Do you fellow flower lovers like it?

Anyway, my lifelong wish,

is to buy a small courtyard and fill it with climbing flowers!
