Many flower lovers say that the potted plants they like are the kind that are beautiful and easy to care for, the kind that bloom all over the branches without much care, and keep blooming non-stop. Today, Hua'er will introduce 4 kinds of potted plants that meet these requirements. Grow one pot and it blooms wave after wave, extremely beautiful!

1. Lobelia (Lobelia erinus)

Lobelia is a very beautiful flower. When it blooms, the whole plant is surrounded by flowers, just like a big hydrangea, and it comes in many colors, including blue-purple, white, pink, and more.

Lobelia is generally grown from seed. You can sow the seeds directly in a flower pot, using leaf mold as the main base soil and mixing in some organic fertilizer. Since lobelia seeds are rather small, when sowing, it is best to mix some fine sand into the surface soil of the pot. When watering, pay special attention to the water pressure, and use a watering can with a fine-spout nozzle.

Usually let it receive plenty of light, but as the weather gets hotter and hotter, be careful to shade it. During the growing period, you can apply more nitrogen fertilizer. During the flowering period, it is best to stop nitrogen fertilizer and switch to phosphorus fertilizer, which helps with flowering.

2. Sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima)

Small and delicate flowers, paired with white, and the floral scent always give people a pleasant mood. Whether placed on a table or a balcony, it always gives a unique kind of enjoyment.

Sweet alyssum likes a warm and slightly moist environment, and it has very strong vitality. It likes light but fears direct sunlight, so when summer comes, be careful to shade it. It has many branches. Apart from pruning old branches, dead branches, and leggy branches, the rest needs little care, and there is no need to pinch the top either.

Its root system is rather fine, so when fertilizing, follow the principle of light fertilizer applied frequently. Doing these well will let it grow healthily and bloom wave after wave.

3. Fuchsia (Fuchsia hybrida)

Fuchsia, also known as hanging bell flower, is a very beautiful potted plant. Many flower lovers especially like to hang it on the balcony for care. Its flower stalks are slender, its flowers droop, and its calyx is tube-shaped like a bell. Grown hanging, the branches flutter in the wind, extremely beautiful.

If you want fuchsia to bloom more, you must pinch it frequently. Its flowers grow in the leaf axils of new shoots. Pinching it can promote branching, make it full, and produce more flowers.

It likes a moist environment. During the growing period and flowering period, it needs sufficient water, so besides watering frequently, you can also spray some water on its leaves. It also likes fertilizer, especially during the flowering period, when it needs enough fertilizer. You can apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to make it bloom more flowers and extend the flowering period.
