Introduction

Potted green plants are essential decorative items for home life, as they can both beautify the room and delight the mind and cultivate character. Keeping some flowers and plants at home has many benefits. "Flower Sound Potted Plant Diary · Issue 1018" introduces you to a very heat-tolerant and easy-to-grow plant.

May is almost over, and the south has already entered summer. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and many flowers and plants are becoming harder and harder to care for, such as succulents, begonias, and fuchsias, all of which are famous for being "difficult to get through summer." The flower introduced this time is just the opposite: the hotter the weather, the more splendidly it blooms, making it suitable for growing in May.

This flower is the double gland trumpet vine, a new type of climbing plant native to the tropical regions of the Americas. Because of its excellent performance, it has been widely introduced around the world as an ornamental flower. Its flowers come in red, pink, and other colors, and sometimes both pink and red flowers bloom at the same time. The flowers are large and brightly colored, beautiful and festive, and it is therefore also known as "double happiness vine."

The double gland trumpet vine comes from the tropics and has extremely strong heat tolerance. During the hottest times of summer and autumn, it is in its most splendid blooming season. Red flowers and pink flowers hang from the branches, very beautiful. The full flowering period lasts for half a year, with flowers blooming every day through summer and autumn, giving an exceptionally long ornamental period. With proper care, it will also bloom in the other seasons, but only in smaller quantities.

The double gland trumpet vine is a herbaceous plant with shallow roots, so it can be grown well in a flowerpot of ordinary size. It also has extremely strong adaptability and is not picky about soil. It does not require special soil like orchids and succulents do; ordinary garden soil will do. It likes light. When grown as a household potted plant and placed on a balcony, windowsill, or similar spot, daily care can be very casual. It is not delicate and blooms splendidly with just a bit of sunlight. Its disadvantage is that it is not cold-tolerant, so in northern regions it must be kept indoors in winter to survive the winter safely.

The double gland trumpet vine is a climbing plant, and it blooms wherever it climbs. It is a very good material for vertical greening such as flower walls, flower columns, and flower arches. It can also be given a trellis to guide it to climb onto security nets and windows. Every year when May arrives, it will bloom all over the tree, turning the balcony into a sea of flowers, and this can last until late autumn in November, spectacular and beautiful, well worth having.
