These 3 flowers are perfect for growing in summer; they are cheap, easy to care for, and bloom as soon as they are sown in the soil.
Growing flowers in summer is too much trouble; even with careful care, it is hard to see them bloom all over the branches. Huahua thinks it is better to grow some cheap and easy-to-care-for flowers that can grow quickly when casually sown in the soil and bloom in less than 1 month. That is what is good!
Oxalis
Oxalis, which became popular again this year, comes in more and more colors. Plant it now, and it can bloom by the end of the month!
Sowing Oxalis
Oxalis seeds look like small garlic cloves. After planting, many more will multiply each year, so the more you grow oxalis, the more you have. The extra ones can even be shared with others.
Just push the seed with its head facing up into moist flower soil and place it in a cool, shady spot. It will sprout in 3-5 days. After sprouting, it can be moved to a place with good light. With normal care, it will bloom in about 2 weeks.
Oxalis Care
Oxalis likes light and is drought-tolerant. It is best to keep it in a sunny place at ordinary times. When the temperature exceeds 36°C, provide shade. Usually, it is not too late to water after the soil dries out.
Oxalis Dormancy and Bulb Harvesting
Most oxalis goes dormant in June-July, and the leaves all wither as if dead. At this time, do not water. Once the soil is dry, dig out the bulbs, dry them, put them in a plastic bag, and hang it in a ventilated place. In September, when the weather turns cool, they can be replanted and can still bloom.
Moss Rose
When it comes to flowers you have to grow in summer, it has to be moss rose. It is sun-tolerant and drought-tolerant, and even a cut stem can survive!
Moss Rose Cuttings
Cut a few stems, preferably with flower buds, 8-15 cm long is fine.
Insert them directly into moist flower soil, or insert them and then water thoroughly. After that, keep them in a cool place and maintain moisture. They will establish in about 3 days, then move them to a sunny place. With normal care, they will bloom in less than half a month.
Moss Rose Care
Moss rose basically needs no special care. If it grows wildly, you can pinch off the tops, and the pinched tops can be used for more cuttings. Usually, there is no need to water too much; watering after the soil dries is fine.
Geranium
Geranium leaves and flowers are both beautiful. Many flower lovers have them at home, and they all say they bloom continuously all year round.
Geranium Cuttings
Take some disposable cups, drill a few small holes in the bottom for ventilation, put in some moist flower soil, and insert the cut geranium stems (8-10 cm long) into the soil. Place them in a cool, shady spot. They can also be inserted into rooting water. They root in about 5-8 days.
After the geranium has rooted, do not rush to repot it first. Place it in sunlight (just avoid harsh sun exposure) to settle the roots. About 3-5 days is enough, and then it can be moved to a large flowerpot for normal care.
Geranium Care
Geranium likes light, likes moisture, and fears waterlogging, so it is best to grow it on a south-facing balcony or windowsill. Add some sand and gravel or clay pebbles to the potting soil to increase air permeability.
Pinching Geranium
Geranium should be pinched at least 2 times. The first time is when the seedling is about 12 cm, and pinching off the top can make more branches grow. The second time is after flowering, which can not only preserve nutrients but also avoid leggy growth. The trimmed tops can also be used for cuttings again.
If you want to grow flowers in summer, are you tempted? If everyone has other cheap and easy-to-grow flowers, you can also recommend them.
