Summer is here, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Many flowers and plants are afraid of high temperatures and find it hard to get through the summer. Do you all know which flowers are not afraid of heat? Today I want to share this flower with you. It is not afraid of heat, and the more sun it gets, the more it blooms, with a flowering period of 180 days. It is delicate and lovely, making it the top choice for summer potted plants!
This flower is called frangipani (Plumeria), also known as egg yolk flower. Its petals are made up of two colors, white outside and yellow inside, just like an egg, which is why it is named frangipani. Frangipani loves light very much. With sufficient light, it blooms more, and its fragrance becomes more intense.
For the soil, choose a loose, fertile, well-draining sandy soil. You can add a small amount of organic base fertilizer to the potting soil, such as bone meal. For the flowerpot, you can choose a clay pot, which has good air permeability and is suitable for caring for frangipani.
Frangipani is very drought-tolerant. When watering it, it is better to keep it dry than wet. It also fears waterlogging, so during care, the potting soil should rather be on the dry side than too moist.
During its growing season, use mainly nitrogen fertilizer in the early stage, so that its roots, branches and leaves grow vigorously. When it is budding, it should be mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can make the flower color delicate and extend the flowering period.
It likes light, somewhat similar to purslane. Only under sufficient light will the flowers fully bloom. Its flowers also have a fragrance, and the more flowers there are, the stronger the fragrance. If you want to see the flowers and smell the fragrance, light must not be lacking.
It is quite a lovely potted plant, and using it to decorate the home is also a very good choice. Do you flower lovers like it?
