A 3-yuan pot of flowers scattered in the soil blooms its head off, and the hotter it gets, the more vigorously it blooms

Growing flowers in summer is too hard, and it is very difficult to see flowers bloom in a bursting display. This kind of hot weather seems more suitable for growing some cheap, tough flowers. Scatter them in a flower pot and they bloom in less than 1 month. What flowers are this tough?

1. Oxalis

Oxalis, very popular this year, comes in more and more colors. The flowers are very beautiful. Plant it now and it blooms in thirty days, isn't that very fast?

Sowing oxalis

Oxalis seeds are just like garlic. After planting, they multiply into a big patch every year, and they bloom especially abundantly. You can give some to friends, and it is very face-giving too

Put the seeds head-up into moist soil, place in a cool place, and they sprout in 3-5 days. After sprouting, it can be moved to a place with good light, and cared for 2 weeks in a ventilated place with diffused light

Caring for oxalis

Oxalis likes light and is not afraid of drought, usually in a place with plenty of sunlight. Shade should be over 36 degrees.

Oxalis dormancy and bulb harvesting

Most oxalis will go dormant within 6-7 months. The leaves dry up, but at this time do not water them. When the soil is dry, dig out the bulbs. Let them dry a little, put them in a paper bag, and hang it in a ventilated place. In September, when the weather allows, they can be replanted, can be replanted. They can also bloom

Speaking of flowers that must be planted in summer, the sun rose (moss rose) is certainly indispensable. They are both light-tolerant and drought-tolerant. They bloom in a big patch

Propagation is by seed sowing and cuttings. When taking cuttings, cut them into several branches, preferably with buds, 8-15 cm long.

Insert them directly into moist soil, or water after inserting, then place in a cool place and keep moist. After about 3 days, take the pot out and move it to a place with plenty of sunlight, care for it normally, and it blooms in less than half a month.

Moss rose basically needs no special care. If it grows too tall, you can pinch off the top. After pinching, more side buds will emerge, forming a bursting display. The pinched-off branches stuck in soil become another pot of moss rose. Usually there is no need to water too much; just water thoroughly when the soil is dry.

3. Geranium

Both the leaves and flowers of geranium are beautiful. Many flower lovers grow it at home. They say that as long as the temperature is suitable, it can bloom all year round

Geranium cutting seedlings

Take some disposable water cups, drill a few holes in the bottom of the cup for breathing, put in some moist soil, and insert the geranium branches (8-10 cm long, with the wounds dried) into the soil, place in a cool place. They can also be stuck in water, and they root in about ten days or so

After rooting, do not repot the geranium first. Place it in a place with plenty of diffused light and care for it for about 3-5 days, then it can be transplanted into a large flower pot for normal care.

Caring for geranium

Geranium likes light and likes moisture but is afraid of waterlogging, so caring for it in a place with better light such as a south-facing balcony or windowsill is fine. Add gravel and ceramsite to the potting soil to increase air permeability. Prevent waterlogging and root rot

Pruning and pinching geranium

Geranium should be pruned and pinched at least 2 times. The first time is when the seedling is about 12 cm, and pinching can make it sprout more side branches, and the side branches will all bloom again. The second is after flowering, which not only saves nutrients but also makes the plant beautiful and upright, avoiding leggy growth and deformation. The pinched-off branches can continue to be used for cuttings.

4. Petunia

Petunia is absolutely a flowering machine. As long as the temperature is suitable, it can bloom all year round. It blooms so much that you can almost not see the leaves. It is absolutely worth growing a pot

Sowing petunia

After petunia blooms, there are many small "sesame dots" in the middle of the flower stalk. These are all flowers that can be sown directly. They can be sown now.

Put the petunia seeds into moist soil, place in a cool place, spray water every 2 days, and they sprout in about 3-5 days. When the seedlings are about 8-12 cm, you can pinch off the top to make them sprout more side branches. Only with more side branches will there be more flowers. Put them in the sun and let them bask hard, and they bloom in about 20 days.

Caring for petunia

Petunia likes light, and you must ensure at least 4 hours of sunlight every day. In summer, water thoroughly once every 1-2 days, and never let water accumulate, as it easily causes root rot

Many flower friends ask, how do you make petunia bloom into a big flower ball? According to the shape of the petunia's first flowers, shape it yourself. After it blooms ten thousand flowers, prune and pinch in time to make it sprout side branches, and pay attention to the direction of light, turning the pot appropriately. The more you prune, the more side branches there are. By pruning step by step like this, it can bloom into a big flower ball
