Don't know how to grow flowers? Try growing these plants first

In summer, everyone hopes for a cool, fresh living environment and doesn't want to go through a rather stuffy summer. For this very reason, many friends have started paying attention to the various plants suitable for summer that I introduced before, but some friends can only think about it, because they are afraid that they "don't know how to grow flowers" and will kill all the plants they buy.

Actually, it's not that friends "don't know how to grow flowers"; rather, many friends differ in how much spare time they have, so the care they give their plants isn't particularly thorough. It just so happens that the plants they grow may also need very careful attention, so it's hard to avoid the plants dying. At this point, many friends think it was their own "inability to grow flowers" that killed the plants they were growing.

To clear up this huge "misunderstanding", today I'll introduce a few plants that are very easy to grow, and they're especially suitable for growing this summer!

The first: Cosmos. Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus) is a relatively petite, lovely type of chrysanthemum. The most important point is that cosmos is the easiest to root and establish growth, so it is a very easy plant to keep alive. Cosmos is not only easy to keep alive, but also has high ornamental value.

To grow cosmos, we only need to pay attention to the following key points: keep the potting soil moist, with an average temperature above 18°C. That way, cosmos will sprout in just 8~10 days! And the seedlings that grow are usually 5cm tall.

Cosmos is a flowering plant that loves light and tolerates drought, suitable for growing in sunny spots such as balconies and windowsills, watered once every 3~5 days. If it's cosmos grown from young sprouts, we must pinch off the tops, and the same applies when it flowers. The reason for doing this is to prevent the cosmos from growing continuously, which would make it look rather unattractive.

The second: sea thrift. Sea thrift (Armeria maritima) is a bit different from other flowering plants. After sea thrift blooms, the flowers are displayed in clusters, like little hydrangeas, and are exceptionally charming too.

To grow sea thrift, you only need a temperature of 18°C to plant it, and you can see new seedlings in just 4~7 days! Sea thrift also likes a warm, humid, ventilated growing environment. As long as these small conditions are met, it can be grown both indoors and outdoors. We only need to water sea thrift about once every 3 days; it is also a particularly easy plant to keep alive.

The third: Phacelia. Phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) can be said to be the easiest to survive and grow of the 3 plants I've introduced. Even if you let it grow in cracks between stones, it can still produce gorgeous flowers. This is one plant that I can't help but admire!

Phacelia is very suited to the current season. To grow phacelia, we only need to toss the phacelia seeds into moist potting soil; generally in 2~5 days many young sprouts will appear, and in 1 week you'll see a lush green scene.

When growing phacelia, we need to give it plenty of sunlight, so it can be placed in windowsills, balconies and other spots with good sunlight and good ventilation. Generally, watering about once every 3 days is enough. The best evidence of how easy it is to grow: phacelia's requirements for soil are not as high as those of other plants, which is also a special reason why I strongly recommend growing phacelia.

Today I've introduced these 3 very easy-to-grow plants. I hope friends who say they "don't know how to grow flowers" can try growing these 3 plants I recommend before concluding that they can't grow flowers!
