Intro

Green plants and potted plants are essential accents in home life. They not only beautify the room but also lift the mood and cultivate character. Keeping some flowers and plants at home has many benefits. "Flower Voice Potted Plant Diary - Issue 1012" introduces you to a new type of ornamental plant.

Today's star

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the south is already in summer. Many plants struggle in summer. Succulents, fuchsias, and Hibiscus syriacus are all known as "certain to die in summer." This issue introduces a flower with super strong adaptability and very high ornamental value that can be grown all year round. This flower is "broom."

Broom

Broom is a perennial creeping herbaceous plant in the Fabaceae family and the genus Cytisus. It has climbing ability and a wide distribution range, with natural distribution in the southwest and northwest regions of China. Because its flowers are split into two petals at the side, resembling a flying sparrow, and are golden yellow in color, it is named "broom." Its ornamental value is very high, with Cytisus scoparius and red broom being the most popular.

Long flowering period

Broom's natural flowering period is from April to November, and it blooms for a very long time. When it blooms, clusters of golden-yellow flowers compete in beauty. When a breeze comes, they are like sparrows dancing, passionate and unrestrained. Seen from afar, there is only a expanse of golden yellow, making people feel relaxed and happy. If pruned in time after the first flowering, it will soon produce a second batch of flowers, repeatedly blooming for as long as half a year.

Broom bonsai

Broom not only has beautiful flowers, but is also very easy to grow. It can tolerate poor soil and improve soil quality, and can also withstand drought and strong winds. It can grow in environments with relatively harsh natural conditions, especially in the northern and northwestern regions with poor soil, strong wind and sand, low rainfall, and strong sunlight, making it a natural first choice for greening and beautification plants. As for household potting, needless to say, it can survive if casually thrown into soil, and in one year it can grow taller and larger, becoming a flower wall.

Excellent bonsai material

Broom is also very fragrant. When it blooms, it is refreshing to the heart, non-toxic and harmless, and also has medicinal value. It is perennial, so plant it once and enjoy the flowers year after year. If grown well, it can also be trained into a bonsai tree, taking its ornamental value to an even higher level. Moreover, it is very easy to grow, even easier than pothos and spider plants, making it an emerging excellent potted plant that is well worth having.
