5 kinds of flowers that fill a pot with blooms when watered once a month, with a flowering period of over 300 days
Some people grow flowers purely as a hobby, while others grow them to make their home more beautiful. In fact, growing flowers also represents a kind of attitude toward life. Those whose flowers look beautiful and lovely probably have a good day and mood every day. Among all the flowering plants, some are relatively easy to grow, and may bloom with just regular watering. If you grow a balcony full of them, the balcony will probably become a little garden in less than half a year!
Next, I'll share a few kinds of flowers that are relatively easy to grow and bloom beautifully. These are all suitable for growing on a balcony!
Balcony flower 1: Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is most suitable for growing on a balcony, placed pot by pot side by side, in all kinds of colors, and every time it blooms it feels like spring has arrived. The optimal growing temperature for Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is 15-25°C. In summer, when the weather is hot and the temperature exceeds 30°C, its growth is hindered. Therefore, it needs to be cooled down appropriately. Cooling method: every morning or evening, spray water around the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana to increase the humidity of the surrounding environment. You can also place a basin full of water beside the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.
Balcony flower 2: Pelargonium
Pelargonium is a famous balcony flower, also known as zonal geranium, fish geranium, horse geranium, and mosquito plant. The optimal temperature for Pelargonium is 15-20°C, and it is suited to sandy soil. This flower needs plenty of sunlight during its growing period, so it is suitable for growing on a balcony. In addition, Pelargonium does not like heavy fertilization; too much fertilizer will make it grow too vigorously and hinder flowering. So growing Pelargonium really just takes watering to do well!
Balcony flower 3: Moss rose
Moss rose does not bloom in the morning, at night, or on cloudy and rainy days; it only blooms when there is sun. You could say moss rose was born for the balcony! This flower is also called the "die-hard flower," which can be understood as one of the easiest flowers to keep alive. Moreover, moss rose propagates very quickly; generally, if you grow one pot on the balcony, after half a year it will produce several pots.
Moss rose is a perennial flower of the purslane family, genus Portulaca. It is extremely tolerant of poor soil, can adapt to ordinary soil, and is especially fond of well-drained sandy soil. It can be watered once a day.
Balcony flower 4: Chinese rose
Chinese rose has a natural flowering period from August to April of the following year. It has strong adaptability and is cold-tolerant and cold-tolerant, making it a really good choice for growing on a balcony. And everyone knows Chinese rose is very easy to grow! With regular watering, Chinese rose can grow very well, and its flowering period is long. Its optimal growing temperature is 15-26°C during the day and 10-15°C at night. Overall, it needs little care throughout the year. Now that the weather is hot, you can appropriately spray water around its flowerpot to reduce air humidity.
Balcony flower 5: Dahlia
I want to say that dahlia really is a very beautiful flower. It has large flower diameters and many blooms, and its flowering period runs from May to mid-November. Under suitable temperature conditions, it can bloom continuously all year, with the most abundant blooming after autumn. Dahlia is easy to plant; it likes light and can receive 10-12 hours of light, making it suitable for growing on a balcony. In addition, dahlia's growth habits: it is not tolerant of drought or waterlogging, and is suitable for cultivation in loose, well-drained, fertile sandy soil.
