Some flowers, the more carefully you pamper them, the worse they grow, throwing a fit at the slightest thing. But when you give up and just dump them on the balcony without a care, they instead grow wild and unruly, making you curse inwardly: how cheap! Today Huahua is going to recommend a few flowers suited to rough neglect!

Moss rose

Moss rose is also called "can't-die," which shows just how easy it is to grow. Scatter a handful of seeds on the ground and the whole yard bursts into bloom!

1. Super drought-tolerant

Moss rose has strong drought tolerance. It's fine without water for 10 days or half a month; watering too often actually causes root rot.

2. Give it a little light and it shines

Moss rose loves light and will bloom as long as there is light. In summer, put it on a south-facing or west-facing balcony, leave it alone, and it easily bursts into a full pot!

3. No fertilizer needed

As an annual herbaceous flower, moss rose is extremely tolerant of poor soil. The nutrients in the soil are enough, so no fertilizer is needed at all, which is very nice for lazy people!

4. Self-seeding reproduction

Moss rose seeds have strong self-seeding ability. If planted in the ground, sow the seeds the first year, and in the following years you don't need to worry at all; they bloom when the time comes, and you just wait to enjoy the show!

Spider plant

Spider plants are in every home and are a typical flower that is easy to keep alive and easy to fill a pot with. Once they start growing like crazy, there is no stopping them.

1. Poor light is no problem

Although spider plants like light, they also tolerate partial shade. Too much or too little light is fine; they can grow well on either a south-facing or north-facing balcony!

2. Not watering often is also fine

Spider plant roots are thick and fleshy, with strong drought tolerance and water storage. You don't need to water too often. If you go away for ten days or so, there is no problem at all.

3. Stick it in soil and it lives

Spider plants send out runners from their axillary buds. Cut them off and stick them in soil and they will survive. If they don't look ideal, no matter, cut them off and let them grow again!

Madagascar periwinkle

Madagascar periwinkle is best grown outdoors, living off the sky, with an super-long flowering period; it blooms for as long as it wants.

1. Sun it however you like

Madagascar periwinkle especially loves light and tolerates sun. In summer it doesn't even need shading; the more sun, the more vivid the blooms. Just put it on a south-facing balcony and leave the rest alone!

2. Don't water it all the time

Madagascar periwinkle has shallow roots and hates dampness and waterlogging; it's fine without water for ten days or half a month. Water again when the soil turns pale or small cracks appear. Watering too often easily causes root rot.

3. Cuttings are easy to root

If your Madagascar periwinkle is nearly dead, don't worry. Cut a stem, stick it in soil and water thoroughly, or just drop it in water, and it will quickly root, with a very high survival rate.

Snake plant

Snake plant is native to western Africa, has very strong growth power, and also has strong air-purifying ability, making it very suitable for growing indoors.

1. Tolerates shade and doesn't fear sun

Snake plant is very shade-tolerant and doesn't fear sun either; it can grow strong on a balcony of any orientation!

2. Likes moisture yet tolerates drought

Snake plant likes warm, humid environments and can grow strong even under summer's high temperature and high humidity, but it is also very drought-tolerant. Some flower lovers didn't water theirs for one or two months and it still didn't die.

3. Break off a leaf and you can propagate it

Turning 1 pot of snake plant into 10 is also easy: choose a robust leaf, cut it into several sections, let them dry, then stick them in sandy soil, keep it ventilated, and in about 20 days they will root and survive!

Mint

Mint doesn't demand much from its environment. Give it enough light and water, and it easily bursts into a full pot!

1. Lots of water, lots of sun

Mint is best kept on a south-facing balcony. Water it well, bake it in the sun, and within 3 days it bursts into a full pot. You can even just drop it in water without worrying about root rot or sunburn.

2. Cut once, grow a new flush

Mint grows fastest in summer. Don't be reluctant to prune; the more you cut, the more it grows. A few snips and the results are astonishing!

Besides these flowers, aloe, pothos, cactus, kalanchoe, and pennywort are all also suited to rough neglect.

Extensive management is the real way!

Flower lovers, from now on don't be too careful when growing flowers
