Growing flowers in summer is too much trouble. Even with careful tending, it is hard to see them bloom all over the branches. Huahua thinks it is better to plant some cheap and easy-to-grow flowers. Just scatter them in the soil and they will grow vigorously, and in less than 1 month they will bloom. That is what makes it good!
Oxalis
G A R D E N I N G E N C Y C L O P E D I A
Oxalis, which became popular again this year, comes in more and more colors. Plant it now and it will bloom by the end of the month!
Sowing Oxalis
Oxalis seeds look like small garlic cloves. After planting, many more will multiply every year, so the more you grow oxalis, the more you have~ and you can even share the extra with others
Simply push the seed with its tip facing up into moist flower soil and place it in a cool, shady spot. It will sprout in 3-5 days. After sprouting, it can be moved to a place with good light. With normal care, it will bloom in about 2 weeks
Oxalis Care
Oxalis likes light and tolerates drought. It is best to keep it in a sunny place normally. When the temperature exceeds 36 degrees, shade it. Normally, it is fine to water only after the soil dries out
Oxalis Dormancy and Bulb Harvesting
Most oxalis goes dormant in June-July, and the leaves all wither as if it has died. At this time, do not water. Once the soil is dry, dig out the bulbs, let them dry, put them in a plastic bag, and hang it in a ventilated place. In September, when the weather turns cool, you can replant them and they can still bloom
Moss Rose

If there is a flower you must grow in summer, it has to be moss rose. It tolerates sun and drought, and even a pinched-off stem can survive!
Moss Rose Cuttings
Cut a few stems, preferably with flower buds, any length from 8-15 cm is fine
Insert them directly into moist flower soil, or insert them and then water thoroughly. After that, place them in a cool, shady spot and keep them moist. They will take root in about 3 days, then move them to a sunny place. With normal care, they will bloom in less than half a month
Moss Rose Care
Moss rose basically needs no special care. If it grows wild and sprawling, you can pinch off the tips, and the pinched tips can be used for more cuttings. Normally, there is no need to water too much; watering after the soil dries is fine
Geranium
G A R D E N I N G E N C Y C L O P E D I A
Geranium leaves and flowers are both beautiful. Many flower lovers have them at home, and they all say they bloom continuously all year round~
Geranium Cuttings
Take some disposable cups, drill a few small holes in the bottom for airflow, put in some moist flower soil, and insert the cut geranium stems (8-10 cm long) into the soil. Place them in a cool, shady spot. They can also be inserted into rooting water. They will root in about 5-8 days
After rooting, do not rush to repot the geranium. Place it in the sun (as long as it is not exposed to harsh sun) to settle the roots. About 3-5 days is enough, then you can move it to a large pot for normal care
Geranium Care
Geranium likes light and likes moisture but fears waterlogging, so it is best to grow it on a south-facing balcony or windowsill. Add some gravel or clay pebbles to the potting soil to increase air permeability
Geranium Pinching
Geranium should be pinched at least 2 times. The first time is when the seedling is about 12 cm, and pinching off the tips can make more branches grow. The second time is after flowering, which not only preserves nutrients but also prevents leggy growth. The trimmed tips can also be used for cuttings again
Petunia
G A R D E N I N G E N C Y C L O P E D I A
Petunia is absolutely a flowering machine. It blooms from spring to autumn, and in some areas it can bloom even in winter. And once it starts blooming, you cannot even see the leaves
Petunia Sowing
After petunia finishes flowering, many tiny little "sesame dots" appear after the middle of the flower stalk splits open. These are all flower seeds and can be sown directly. They can also be sown now
Scatter petunia seeds in moist flower soil and place them in a cool, shady spot. Spray water every 2 days to keep them moist. They will sprout in about 3-5 days. After sprouting, they can be given appropriate light. When the seedlings grow to about 8-12 cm, you can pinch off the tips. Place them in the sun for care, and they will bloom in about 20 days
Petunia Care
Petunia likes light and must be guaranteed at least 4 hours of light every day. In summer, watering once every 1-2 days is enough. Be careful not to let water accumulate. It fears waterlogging the most
Petunia Pinching
Many flower lovers ask, how do you grow petunia into a ball shape? Based on the shape of the petunia's first bloom, you will know which side is uneven. When the flowers have mostly faded, you can do a "shaping" once, trimming whichever side is uneven. The next time it blooms, it will form a ball
