This new type of potted plant is prettier than roses and more fragrant than perfume, blooming continuously through all four seasons.

Today's star

Pothos, spider plant, succulents, kalanchoe and the like are probably the most common indoor plants, grown in many homes and offices. Today let's try something different and introduce a new type of ornamental plant. This flower is called "Jie'ai" and was only introduced to our country in recent years, yet it has already captured the hearts of many flower lovers, who all take pride in owning one.

Jie'ai

Jie'ai is an evergreen small shrub in the Rosaceae family and a new member of the rose (Rosa) family. It was bred and born in Japan in 2011. It grows upright, reaching a maximum height of 1 m, with a neat plant shape and evergreen foliage all year round; the leaves are round and cup-shaped, the bloom form is perfect, and the flower diameter reaches 10 cm, deep pink, looking even prettier than roses.

Extremely fragrant flowers

Japanese roses generally share one advantage: the flowers are all very fragrant, especially new varieties. Jie'ai is no exception. It has a very rich old-rose scent. When it blooms on the balcony, the whole house can smell it, with the fragrance truly filling the hall, more fragrant than perfume. Once I picked a flower and gave it to someone; my friend thought I had sprayed perfume and wouldn't believe it could be so fragrant.

Very easy to grow

Jie'ai is a robust plant, cold-tolerant, heat-tolerant and sun-tolerant, with strong adaptability to the environment, rarely getting sick, and it is very easy to cultivate. The plant is not large, so an ordinary-sized flower pot is enough to grow it, taking up little space, making it an excellent choice for balcony potting. Of course, it is even stronger when planted in the ground, with more flowers, and in North China and areas to the south it can be grown outdoors.

For you

Jie'ai is not only beautiful and easy to grow, it also has a very long flowering period. It blooms most abundantly in spring and autumn, and also blooms in summer and winter, meaning it keeps flowering continuously all year round. It is extremely diligent, producing a flush of blooms every two months, making it impossible to put down. Keep one pot on your office desk to enjoy the flowers and the fragrance, dazzling and eye-catching, well worth having.
