Recently, Huahua was captivated by a kind of flower. Its blossoms wrap around the branches like white snow, giving off waves of delicate fragrance that can be smelled from 100 meters away. Aren't you curious? Then keep reading with Huahua~

The fringetree, as if wrapped in silver

The tree that captured Huahua's attention is the fringetree, known as the "April snow". It blooms every April, with flowers shaped like tassels packed onto the branches, looking from afar like a layer of accumulated snow.

The fringetree loves light very much, is extremely intolerant of shade, and grows very slowly.

Though the fringetree is beautiful, it has very high requirements for the growing environment and needs ample room to grow. However, if you can't grow a fringetree, you can still plant these flowers and likewise have white blossoms covering the branches!

Chinese rose

Many flower lovers enjoy growing Chinese roses: pink, red, yellow... But white Chinese roses are beautiful too~

Spring care tips for Chinese roses:

1. Watering: in spring, water once every 3-5 days. On hotter afternoons, spray some water on the leaves, which both cools them down and increases air humidity.

2. Light: at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day, with appropriate shading at noon when the light is intense.

Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe has emerald-green, plump leaves and compact flowers, and is a flower many enthusiasts like to grow in spring. After white kalanchoe blooms, the flowers cluster together like a bride's bouquet.

Spring care tips for kalanchoe:

1. Water and fertilizer: kalanchoe leaves are tender and plump and store a lot of water themselves, so watering about once every 3 days is enough.

Apply a thin liquid fertilizer once every 15 days.

2. Light: kalanchoe loves light and can be placed on a sunny south-facing balcony or by a window. Insufficient light will cause the leaves to shrivel and the buds to decrease.

Geranium

Geranium is also a herbaceous flower with a great many varieties. One of them is called "Morning Melody", whose petals are creamy white, fresh and elegant.

Spring care tips for geraniums:

1. Water and fertilizer: in spring, water once every 2-3 days, and apply a thin, fully rotted soybean cake water once every 2 weeks.

2. Light: geraniums love light and can be placed on a south-facing balcony or by a window, so the flowers they produce will be fuller

Camellia

Camellia is one of China's top ten famous flowers, with large, plump blooms and a flowering period lasting several months. The camellias enthusiasts commonly grow are mostly pink, but white camellias are beautiful too~

Moss rose

The moss roses enthusiasts usually grow are mostly red and yellow, but moss roses also come in white. White moss roses look like little cakes.

2. Watering: moss roses are very drought-tolerant; just water thoroughly once you notice the potting soil has dried out.

Gardenia
