Introduction
Green plants and potted plants are essential decorations for home life. They can beautify the room, freshen the air, and also delight the mood and cultivate character. Keeping some flowers and plants at home has many benefits. "Flower Sound Potted Plant Diary · Issue 906" introduces you to a plant very much worth having.
Today's featured plant
At first glance, this flower looks fake, so beautiful that it seems like a painted oil painting, but it is a real flower. This flower is named "Marriotta", translated into Chinese as Mario Tower. It is a small miniature rose of the genus Rosa in the family Rosaceae, a perennial evergreen small shrub, bred in New Zealand. It is a world-famous balcony potted flower, with very many fans.
Marriotta
Marriotta has many advantages. Its flower diameter is about the same as the famous Canary (a representative miniature rose variety, the miniature rose most worth getting), about 5 cm, deep pink, abundant-flowering type, with a very large number of flowers. It is common for the branches to be covered with blooms. When the flower first opens, it is rose-shaped, and after spreading out it resembles a peony. Its ornamental value is no less than that of Mary Rose.
The side profile looks like this
What people praise most about Marriotta is its extremely long flowering period. Some flower lovers have shared their experience: this plant basically always has flowers on its branches throughout all four seasons, and it is quite heat-tolerant in summer. Its petals are layered and neatly arranged, very pleasing to look at, and the flowers also have a mild perfume scent. You can enjoy both the flowers and the fragrance, making it hard to put down.
Very easy to grow
Marriotta has strong disease resistance and good adaptability. It is very easy to plant and grow, cold-tolerant, heat-resistant, and very sturdy. Growing it does not require much thought or effort, and it can even be grown outdoors in the northern regions of our country. As a household potted plant, it is even less of a problem, with few pests and diseases. Daily care is similar to that of pothos and spider plants: water thoroughly when dry, do not water when not dry, and apply light fertilizer frequently.
Worth getting
When people mention miniature roses, the first ones that come to mind are usually Sweet Carousel, Hide and Seek, Canary, and so on. In fact, Marriotta is not inferior to them at all. It is abundant-flowering and frequent-flowering, blooming continuously throughout all four seasons, with flowers covering the branches. It is easy to care for and has high ornamental value, so it is very much worth getting and owning.
