Grow flowers hanging up to save space, and enjoy flowers at home all summer without going out
Recently, quite a few flower lovers have been asking Huahua in the backend, what should I do if I have no yard and no terrace but want to grow flowers in summer? That is easy! As long as you hang the flowers up to grow them, whether on security bars or balcony railings, everything becomes beautiful!
Air plants
Grow Flowers Encyclopedia
If we are talking about the easiest flowers to grow hanging up, then it is definitely air plants, which need no soil and no fertilizer! Just find any place to hang them up and they can grow, absolutely the No.1 flower for lazy people!
Care points:
1. Place them in a spot with good indirect light. If they are in direct sun for a long time, growth is likely to stop, and in serious cases they may wilt and die.
2. Summer temperatures are high, so keep the indoor temperature below 25°C to let air plants grow vigorously.
3. Drop hydroponic nutrient solution into clean water, soak the air plant in it for about 2 hours, then take it out and dry it in a ventilated place. This can supplement nutrients for the air plant and make it grow very fast!
Heartleaf aptenia

When talking about flowers grown hanging up, how can we not mention heartleaf aptenia? Heartleaf aptenia has thick leaves and can also bloom small red flowers. You can enjoy both the leaves and the flowers, absolutely a must-have for lazy people!
Care points:
1. Normally, heartleaf aptenia can grow vigorously just by placing it in a cool, ventilated place.
2. Water after finding that the potting soil has dried. In summer, it is best to water in the morning and evening.
3. Just pinch off a branch and it can root from cuttings and survive. Very easy to grow!
Inch plant

For foliage plants, Huahua quite likes the inch plant. After all, just place it indoors, hang it from a beam, and within 1 month it will trail down!
Care points:
1. The inch plant fears strong light, so just place it indoors in a spot with good indirect light for care. In summer, it can receive a little direct light in the morning and evening.
2. The inch plant likes water. In summer, water once every 3-5 days, and usually spray water on the leaves and around the pot, otherwise the leaf tips will dry out.
3. Cut a branch and insert it into soil, and it will roughly root in 7-10 days. Very easy to keep alive!
Million bells
Grow Flowers Encyclopedia
How can summer pass without growing a pot of beautiful herbaceous flowers? Million bells are very compact. Whether hung on security bars or outside balcony railings, they take up no space at all, very suitable for flower lovers with insufficient space at home!
Care points:
1. They like sun. Place them in a spot with ample light so the more sun they get, the more they burst into bloom!
2. In summer, water about once every 2-4 days. Occasionally use a spray bottle to spray water around the flowerpot to maintain humidity.
3. Starting from the growing period, keep pinching and topping to encourage more side branches, so they can fill the pot as soon as possible!
Ivy geranium
Grow Flowers Encyclopedia
When talking about flowers grown hanging up, geraniums are certainly indispensable! Geraniums bloom in clusters, and when grown hanging up they look like a big flower ball, making the home more beautiful!
Care points:
1. Although geraniums like light, once the temperature exceeds 35°C in summer, they must be moved indoors, or a layer of shade netting must be pulled over them to avoid scorching sun.
2. Geraniums do not like too much water. Normally wait until the potting soil has dried completely before watering; if it is a summer-dormant variety, reduce watering even more.
3. To prevent geraniums from dying in summer, you can choose to take more cuttings from branches to grow several small plants.
Fuchsia
Grow Flowers Encyclopedia
The flowers of fuchsia look like little lanterns. If the whole pot is hung up to grow, it looks even more beautiful!
Care points:
1. Once the temperature exceeds 35°C, fuchsia is very likely to die. At this time, cut it back short, trimming the branches short and keeping only 6 buds, so it can pass the summer safely.
2. Place it indoors in a cool spot with good indirect light, and ventilate frequently to avoid root suffocation.
3. Stop fertilizing in summer.
Hoya
Grow Flowers Encyclopedia
This summer, it seems quite a few more flower lovers are growing hoya. Not only because it is easy to care for, but also because it can bloom even with poor light, meeting the needs of many indoor flower growers!
Care points:
1. Hoya is shade-tolerant. Place it indoors in a spot with good indirect light and it can bloom. Do not expose it to scorching sun in summer.
2. Hoya has fleshy roots and needs little water. In summer, watering about once a week is enough.
3. If you want hoya to grow vigorously and bloom more, you can water it with some fish tank water and bury a few compound fertilizer granules in the pot to supplement nutrients.
That is all Huahua is introducing today!
