In yesterday's article, Blue Goblin shared 4 important points for beginner flower enthusiasts when choosing flower varieties. So what flower varieties should we actually choose to grow?
Actually, there is no standard answer to this question. When Blue Goblin first started growing flowers, I just liked ones that bloomed. When I saw a blooming potted plant that looked nice, I wanted to buy, buy, buy! This should be the mentality of most flower enthusiasts, and even veteran flower growers can hardly avoid it.
As for choosing flower varieties, Blue Goblin personally thinks: just choose what you like! Growing flowers is for pleasing yourself, beautifying the environment, and cultivating character, so when it comes to choosing varieties,the biggest prerequisite is that you like it!
Flowers inherently have no distinction of noble or lowly. Take orchids as an example: some orchids sell for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, while some orchids cost only a dozen or so yuan. The root cause lies only in commercial hype. As people who love flowers, when choosing varieties, we never make choices based on commercial value; the vast majority choose because they like them.
This sounds a bit like two people dating, but for flower growers, the only difference is that ours is unrequited love! Hehe.... Only when we ourselves like it enough will you have enough motivation, enough patience, and enough love to care for your flower potted plants.
Of course, liking alone is not enough, just like two people whose conditions differ too greatly marrying purely for love; the final outcome is mostly not as beautiful as imagined. Besides liking, both sides must also satisfy each other's requirements. You might say: how funny, growing a flower has requirements? Yes, of course there are, and both sides have requirements!First, let's talk about us flower enthusiasts' requirements:1. Can it bloom? 2. How long is the flowering period? 3. Are the flowers big? Are they fragrant? 4. How long can it live? 5. Will it freeze to death in winter?
Now let's look at our flowers' requirements:
1. Does your home have sufficient light? 2. Can you guarantee the potting soil is suitable for my growth? 3. Is the air in your home sufficiently circulated? 4. Will your home be too hot or too cold? 5. Can you care for me patiently and carefully? Good, all the questions that should be asked during a matchmaking meeting have been asked, and all the conditions that should be raised have been raised, so what follows is the speed-matching stage.
For flower enthusiasts who require brilliant, colorful blooms and a long flowering period, if your home has sufficient light, then you can choose annual or biennial herbaceous flower varieties. Of course, perennials can also be chosen, as long as you mutually satisfy each other's requirements. If you require it to live long and not die right after blooming, then you can choose woody flowering plants, but relatively speaking, woody flowering plants grow larger, and their blooms are not as brilliant and eye-catching as herbaceous flowers.
So if you want it to live long and also bloom brilliantly, what variety should you choose? Naturally, perennial herbaceous flowers are most suitable. Blue Goblin has mentioned many terms here, such as herbaceous flowers, woody flowering plants, perennials, annual and biennial flowers. So what exactly do these mean? What do they represent?
