5 kinds of flowers that bloom as big as baozi, even prettier than English roses
Camellia
Some camellia varieties, like Da Zhusha, have a flower shape close to a baozi when half-open; after fully opening, the petals spread out like a big round disc.
1. Ventilation
Summers are hot and stuffy, so when caring for camellias you must ensure good ventilation. If conditions allow, it is best to place the camellias outdoors for care.
2. Cooling and humidifying
In summer, water the camellias once in the morning and once in the evening. If there is a lot of rain, you can collect some for the camellias. In extremely hot weather, you need to spray water on the ground around the camellias.
3. Fertilizing
In summer, fertilize the camellias along with watering. Water with fully decomposed cake fertilizer water once every half month, add a little ferrous sulfate, and the camellias will grow better.
Tiger Jasmine
Although tiger jasmine is not large in size, its overall flower shape is fairly round, like a cute little xiaolongbao!
1. Light
Jasmines all love sunlight, and tiger jasmine is no exception. The best care for it in summer is to place it on a sunny balcony or outdoors.
2. Watering
In summer, tiger jasmine needs a relatively large amount of water. Combined with relatively strong light, the potting soil evaporates vigorously, so as soon as you find the potting soil dry, water immediately until water flows out from the bottom of the pot.
3. Soil acidity and alkalinity
Tiger jasmine likes acidic soil. Friends living in the north can add a little ferrous sulfate to the water when watering to increase the soil's acidity.
Lisianthus
The flower shape of lisianthus is the closest to the baozi shape. At first glance, Huahua even thought it was an English rose!
1. Light
Lisianthus loves basking in the sun. If conditions allow, it is best to ensure it can receive all-day light.
2. Pruning after flowering
If you want lisianthus to bloom again, and to bloom more, you must be willing to prune. After the flowers fade, just prune from three or four nodes above the ground.
3. Choosing a flower pot
When caring for lisianthus, it is best to choose a relatively deep flower pot, because the root system of lisianthus is relatively straight and long, which is beneficial for its root growth.
Dahlia
Dahlia is a typical representative of summer flowers. Each flower head is like a plump big baozi, making people unable to resist taking a bite!
1. Soil
2. Light
Although dahlia likes light, when the midday light is relatively strong in summer, some shading measures are still needed, otherwise the leaves are easily scorched.
3. Root care
Dahlia has fleshy roots, which means it is very afraid of waterlogging, so when watering you must water thoroughly, and after heavy rain you must pour out all the rainwater in the pot.
Lotus
When it comes to summer flowers, lotus is bound to be on the list. The large petals wrap upward, standing tall in the middle of the water, truly beautiful.
1. Light
Lotus loves sunlight very much. It should receive at least more than 6 hours of sunlight a day, and give it as much sun as possible.
2. Soil
For home pot cultivation, it is best to use pond mud. When planting, be careful that the distance between each plant is not too close, otherwise the leaves cannot spread out.
