Friends who love growing flowers but don't yet know how to care for them can choose these 2 flowers; toss the roots into soil and they'll survive, with blooms as big as plates, beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and they can be grown with minimal care, extremely easy to grow. Let's take a look together below!
Dahlia
Dahlia is also known as the Tree Dahlia, and its blooms are very vivid and huge, some even as big as plates, extremely eye-catching and much loved by people.
Moreover, dahlias are very easy to grow. Toss the dahlia tubers into soil, and in 7 to 10 days they will sprout and emerge, and in one to two months they will bloom!
Its flowering period is from June to October, and right now is exactly the peak blooming season, as well as a good time to plant a dahlia. It can be grown in pots or used to decorate a courtyard, and both are very attractive.
If growing in a pot, choose a loose, highly fertile, well-draining sandy soil. You can use peat moss plus perlite to mix it, and add a small amount of organic base fertilizer, such as bone meal.
Moreover, it likes a sunny environment. In a shaded environment, the number of buds will decrease, and even if it blooms, the flower color will not be so vivid and beautiful.
Also, during care, pay attention to pinching. When the seedlings grow to 10 to 12 cm, pinch off the growing tip once, which can promote new shoots to sprout and encourage the dahlia to bloom more!
During the growth stage of the dahlia, to promote the growth of branches, leaves and roots, use mainly nitrogen fertilizer. At the bud stage, use mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can make the blooms vivid and huge and keep it flowering continuously.
Dahlia is a potted plant with extremely high ornamental value. If you like it, plant one!
Peony
The blooms of the herbaceous peony are also very vivid and huge, gorgeous and elegant. Its appearance is somewhat like the tree peony, but it is not inferior to the tree peony at all, and it is very easy to grow, and can be grown with minimal care.
To propagate the herbaceous peony, you can also directly buy root tubers and bury them directly in the soil. In 7 to 10 days they will sprout and emerge, in one month they will bloom, and the amount of bloom at one time is also very large, very spectacular and beautiful.
When caring for the herbaceous peony, choose a clay pot, because clay pots have good breathability, and also choose a loose, well-draining soil, which is more conducive to its growth.
The herbaceous peony is relatively drought-tolerant. Watering too frequently is instead not conducive to its growth and can easily cause the tubers to rot. So each time you water the herbaceous peony, water thoroughly at once, judged by water seeping from the tray.
Also, after each watering of the herbaceous peony, to avoid the soil becoming compacted and affecting the growth of the herbaceous peony, loosen the soil in time. Only when the soil is loose and breathable will the roots grow thick and strong.
For a potted herbaceous peony, place it in a bright, indirectly lit spot. Of course, in a sunny place it will grow even more vigorously, but in a semi-shaded environment, its growth will not be delayed much either!
At the bud and flowering stage, spray phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can make the blooms more vivid and huge and extend the blooming time.
