These 2 flowers have super strong climbing ability; grow them well and your balcony becomes a sea of flowers
There are so many people who love growing flowers, but many friends don't know which flowers are good. These 2 flowers have very strong climbing ability. Grow them well, and your balcony becomes a sea of flowers, absolutely amazing!
Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea, also known as three-leaf flower, has triangular flowers in many colors, colorful and gorgeous. It is an ideal potted plant for decorating the home, and its climbing ability is super strong. Even planted at the foot of a wall or beside a railing, it can climb upward along them, and it blooms in enormous quantities, very spectacular and beautiful. Grow it well, and your balcony becomes a sea of flowers!
Care methods
For the soil, you can use garden soil plus leaf mold plus coarse sand, then add a small amount of organic base fertilizer to make the mix. It has good permeability and plenty of fertility, which can make the bougainvillea grow vigorously.
Usually place it in a spot with plenty of sunlight and good ventilation. If you want it to bloom a lot, ensure at least six hours of light every day, so the flowering quantity will be large and the colors will be more vivid.
When watering bougainvillea, water only when the soil is dry. Water again after you find the potting soil has completely dried out. It is fairly drought-tolerant; if the potting soil is too moist, it easily leads to root rot and a halt in growth. In summer, you can water once every 3 to 4 days, depending on the environment.
Clematis
Clematis, also known as iron wire peony, also has the reputation of being the queen of climbing flowers. It can be planted together with yueji (Chinese rose). Its flowering period is from June to September, and it blooms frequently, with a rich fragrance and super strong climbing ability, making it highly ornamental.
Care methods
Clematis is very fond of fertilizer and can be fertilized in two stages. During the growth period, mainly use nitrogen fertilizer, fertilizing 2 to 3 times a month. During the flowering and bud-setting period, mainly use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. You can spray a common monopotassium phosphate solution to make the colors bright.
For the soil, choose a loose, fertile, well-draining sandy soil, and add a small amount of organic base fertilizer, such as bone meal, rapeseed cake fertilizer, and so on
Also, during the flowering period, do not spray water on the flowers, as it easily causes the flowers to turn black and reduces the ornamental effect!
