Even when it comes to growing flowers, with these kinds I threw out all the pothos and spider plants on my balcony
The flowers that can be hung on the balcony to grow are not limited to pothos and spider plants. Today Shitou discovered several kinds of flowers suitable for growing on the balcony. They bloom profusely, look beautiful, and the key point is that they are very easy to grow and have strong propagation ability.
1. Begonia tuberhybrida
Begonia tuberhybrida, which likes to grow in humid, shaded environments, is mainly propagated by sowing and cuttings. Its peak flowering period is every summer and autumn. The flowers are divided into male flowers and female flowers. Male flowers are large and female flowers are small, with single and double forms. In summer, when growing it, place it in a corner of the balcony where there is scattered light. Applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once before flowering is enough, and normal watering is all that is needed.
2. Chenille plant
When it comes to the chenille plant, many flower lovers think of foxtail grass. They are very similar, but Shitou thinks the chenille plant is a bit more beautiful. The chenille plant is a relatively easy flower to grow. It likes to grow in a warm, humid environment with plenty of sunlight. The suitable growth temperature is 20°C-30°C, and the overwintering temperature should be above 18°C. Below 12°C the leaves droop, and prolonged low temperatures will cause leaf drop. It likes humid air and moist soil, and likes fertile soil. Seedlings must be pinched to encourage branching and make the plant's form full and rounded.
3. Dolphin flower
The dolphin flower is native to South Africa. It is a perennial herbaceous plant with an elegant appearance, and it is easy to cultivate and propagate. As long as it is well cared for, flowers can be seen all year round. It likes a cool climate. In summer, when it is hot and stuffy, pay attention to keeping it cool and ventilated, and it is best to avoid direct bright sunlight. In winter, prevent cold damage caused by low temperatures below 10°C. It is recommended to move it indoors to a ventilated and bright place when it is too cold outdoors in winter and too hot outdoors in summer.
4. Goldfish plant
It likes warm, humid, shady environments. If it is placed in a sunny spot for a long time, or if it is too dry or the winter temperature is too low, it will drop leaves. The suitable growth temperature for the goldfish plant is 18-22°C, and it should avoid low temperatures. If the temperature is below 10°C for two consecutive days, the leaves will begin to turn yellow and dry out, to the point that even a very slight vibration will make them fall off.
They are all very easy-to-grow flowers. Their flowering time is generally in summer and autumn. Grown on the balcony, they not only green the home but also let you enjoy the flowers. Flower lovers who like them should hurry up and grow them.
