Huahua recently noticed that some flower lovers complain all day long that they can't grow flowers and that everything they grow dies. This is definitely not some "flower-killing curse." Trust Huahua - the varieties below will survive as soon as they touch the ground, and it's hard to kill them even if you try!
Four o'clock flower
Growing Flowers Complete Guide
Four o'clock flower is also called marvel-of-Peru and zhuangyuan flower. Everyone is familiar with it but can't name it. Some flower lovers easily confuse it with night-blooming jasmine. Common colors are bright red and rose red
Now there are many color choices, and they are very beautiful too
1. Sowing
Four o'clock flower gets its name because its pitch-black seeds look like landmines. As long as its seeds fall on soil, they can take root and sprout!
First water the potting soil until wet, then just scatter the seeds casually, turn the soil a bit, no need to deliberately bury them, and they will sprout within a week!
2. Daily care
Division: When seedlings grow to about 12-16 cm, they can be divided and planted. Leaf mold and sandy soil mixed with garden soil will do
Light: It can be grown in the open air, on a balcony, or on a windowsill. A north-facing balcony with scattered light is also fine
Water: Generally water once every 2 days. It's best to use a spray bottle, which can increase air humidity and let the leaves drink their fill too
Summary: Apart from daily watering, four o'clock flower does not need fertilizer. Spent flowers can be placed directly in the flowerpot as leaf-mold fertilizer
