7 flowers that turn into balls as soon as they bloom, with blooms huddling together to burst the balcony

Geranium

Geraniums root very easily from cuttings, have a long blooming period, and their petals are bright and beautiful in color.

Care methods:

1. Repotting: Potted geraniums grow relatively fast, so they need to be repotted once every year in March, removing old roots and old soil.

2. Light: In spring and autumn, give them more sunlight to encourage blooming. In summer, move them to a cool, ventilated place, and you can spray water to avoid high temperatures.

3. Water and fertilizer: Water once every two to three days, and fertilize once a week. But on cloudy days, do not water or fertilize.

4. Pruning: When repotting, cut off the large leaves blocking new buds as well as the branches, leaving 3-5 evenly spaced main branches.

Periwinkle

Periwinkle has a very long blooming period, can bloom almost all year round, and can bloom for many years.

Care methods:

1. Light: Periwinkle is a flower that blooms in all four seasons and needs sufficient light. Place it on a sunny balcony so the leaves can be greener and the flowers can bloom more vividly.

2. Soil: Prefer sandy soil with good drainage and strong air permeability; soil rich in humus also works. But saline-alkali soil must not be used.

3. Water and fertilizer: Periwinkle does not like being too wet; keeping the soil moist is enough. During the growth stage, every 10 days you can apply compound fertilizer and liquid fertilizer alternately. In winter, you can skip fertilizing or apply less.

4. Pruning: After it survives potting, pinch it several times to encourage periwinkle to branch more and bloom more. After blooming, cut off the spent flowers.

Petunia

Petunias come in many colors and very easily fill a pot, making them a very popular potted plant nowadays.

Care methods:

1. Light: Petunias love light, and you need to ensure they get more than 4 hours of light each day.

2. Water and fertilizer: Apply chicken manure fertilizer or bone meal at the bottom of the pot, and use soil to separate the fertilizer from the roots to avoid burning the roots. Do not use too much water; in winter, do not water unless the soil is dry, and in summer keep the potting soil moist.

3. Pruning: Pinching + hard pruning. When pinching, keep four leaves to ensure side branches grow. During the vigorous growth period (June-August), hard prune once every 3 weeks to prevent excessive growth.

Marguerite

Marguerite flowers are small and cute, with fresh colors and a large number of blooms; once they bloom, they form a ball.

Care methods:

1. Light: Sufficient light will make Marguerite's flower colors more vivid, so try to ensure full sunlight.

2. Water and fertilizer: Stick to the principle of not watering unless dry, and watering thoroughly when you do, keeping the potting soil slightly moist. Apply base fertilizer when repotting, such as chicken manure fertilizer, and usually apply light fertilizer frequently.

3. Pruning: Remove all the flowers and tender top buds of the Marguerite you just bought home, and then remove the buds that gradually grow later to encourage branching. Once the plant's shape is full, stop pinching.

Lobelia

Lobelia has brilliant flower colors, and the flower shape resembles a butterfly with spread wings. When it blooms, it very easily fills the pot and forms a ball.

Care methods:

1. Light: Lobelia is a long-day plant and is suitable for balcony planting. In summer, just pay attention to shading and ventilation.

2. Water and fertilizer: Stick to the principle of not watering unless dry, and watering thoroughly when you do, keeping the potting soil moist. In autumn and winter, apply light fertilizer, alternating compound fertilizer and cake fertilizer. During the growth period, apply nitrogen fertilizer once a week, increasing the concentration.

3. Pruning: During the growth period, pinch and top to encourage side branch growth and help form a full plant shape.

Baby's breath

A single sprig of baby's breath may look plain, but baby's breath clustered together one by one is dazzling.

Care methods:

1. Light: Baby's breath is a long-day plant, and its blooming period is May-July each year. If you can ensure more than 16 hours of light per day, baby's breath can bloom for more than 300 days~

2. Water and fertilizer: Baby's breath likes fertile, slightly alkaline soil with good air permeability and drainage. During the growth period, keep the potting soil moist and fertilize once every 2 weeks.

3. Pruning: Baby's breath grows very fast, so pinch and top it regularly to ensure the plant takes on a spherical shape.

Hydrangea

Hydrangea flowers are large, full and round, upright and elegant, with a long blooming period.

Care methods:

1. Light: Hydrangea does not like strong light and is best cared for in a diffused-light environment. Hydrangea is a short-day plant; giving it more than 10 hours of darkness treatment each day helps it form flower buds.

2. Water and fertilizer: Hydrangea likes water and fertilizer. Keep the potting soil moist but not waterlogged, and in spring, summer, and autumn spray water on the leaves once a week. During the growth and development period, apply diluted water-soluble fertilizer once every half month.

3. Pruning: Prune before autumn, cutting off spent flowers and aged branches.
