Excerpt from the series course "30 Days, Help You Transform from Zero Basics into a Flower Growing Expert"

It is now 12 noon, exactly the hottest time of the day. Lanyao also feels a bit hot and restless, drowsy, as if my mind is not very clear.

But when I think of so many flower friends waiting for Lanyao to update articles, I, Lanyao, will still make a packet of instant coffee and passionately pound the keyboard...

Speaking of growing well, friends who have just started growing flowers, have you ever had this kind of confusion:

What flowers should I grow? What flowers look good and also bloom for a long time?

Actually, for beginner flower friends, having such doubts is not strange at all. Lanyao also came from being a beginner rookie, so I deeply understand the feeling. When Lanyao first started growing flowers, I also did not know how to choose varieties. I bought whatever looked good, and not long after buying them, they died.

After a long period of buying and dying, dying and buying, and being laughed at and disliked by family, now Lanyao has finally grown into a great expert that others envy. Of course, the effort involved does not need to be explained.

Not only the loss of money, but even more the expenditure of energy.

Lanyao believes many flower friends are experiencing the pain Lanyao experienced back then, which is why Lanyao produced this series course "30 Days, Help You Transform from Zero Basics into a Flower Growing Expert", hoping to help everyone grow quickly, say goodbye to being a rookie, and become a true flower growing expert.

Back to the point, then when our beginner flower friends first start growing flowers, how exactly should they choose flower varieties?

4 things to consider before choosing flower varieties:

1. Clarify the purpose

What does clarifying the purpose mean? It means that each of us has different goals for growing flowers and planting trees, so naturally there will also be great differences in variety selection.

For example: flower friend A has a courtyard at home and wants to do courtyard greening, planting hedges, so when choosing varieties, woody flower varieties need to be selected.

While flower friend B lives in the city, grows on a balcony, and mainly beautifies the indoor environment, so some herbaceous flower varieties with many blooms and brilliant colors can be chosen to achieve a decorative effect.

2. Try to choose tough and easy-to-grow varieties

As a beginner at growing flowers, Lanyao's suggestion is to start with tough and easy-to-grow varieties. Choosing low difficulty is not to practice technique, but to cultivate our self-confidence.

Self-confidence is very important in doing anything. If at the beginning we choose some rather delicate and difficult-to-grow varieties, then it is very easy to let our self-confidence take a hit and turn ourselves into plant killers.

So first grow some easy-to-grow varieties, such as the super common succulents, spider plant, chrysanthemum, petunia, and so on. Improve while growing, gradually add the ones you like that are more difficult, and eliminate some varieties you do not like.

3. Combine it with your own growing environment

What varieties can be chosen is very closely related to our own growing environment. If the light conditions at home are not good, then you cannot grow sun-loving flowers, and instead should choose shade-tolerant varieties with lower light requirements. (What sun-loving flowers are, Lanyao will explain later.)

If the weather where you are is very hot, then you also cannot choose flowers that are not heat-tolerant, such as geranium, which easily dies from heat in summer.

4. First understand the plant's habits

Before choosing to buy flowers, it is best to search online for the growth habits of the relevant varieties, or ask the shop owner selling the flowers. Only after understanding the growth habits of the flowers can we combine them with our own growing environment to choose varieties.

As Lanyao said earlier, characteristics such as sun-loving flowers, heat-tolerant flowers, and non-heat-tolerant flowers all belong to the growth habits of flowers.

Only by caring for any flower according to its growth habits can it truly be grown well.

So what flower varieties should we actually choose?
