4 kinds of flowers that thrive even when tossed in a green belt, yet wither and die within 3 days when kept at home

The blue snowflowers (Plumbago auriculata) in the green belt bloom in one massive sweep!

Summer is of course the season of blue snowflowers (Plumbago auriculata)! But many people's blue snowflowers at home just refuse to bloom, and the branches have grown leggy too. So why not take a look at the blue snowflowers in other people's green belts - aren't they even more beautiful than yours?

Has everyone been shocked? So how should you care for blue snowflowers at home to make them bloom this profusely?

1. More sun and more water

Blue snowflowers (Plumbago auriculata) need lots of water and lots of sun. Normally place them on a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill in a spot with good light; if conditions allow, putting them outdoors is best. At the same time, be sure to water frequently - roughly once a day, or even twice a day is no problem.

2. Spray a little monopotassium phosphate solution

If you want blue snowflowers (Plumbago auriculata) to bloom more, before they flower you can spray a 0.2% monopotassium phosphate solution on the leaves, or simply drench the roots with it, to encourage the plant to differentiate more flower buds and produce more blooms!

The hydrangeas in the green belt - their flower heads are bigger than a ball!

I once saw a news story about someone who picked a hydrangea flower while out for a walk and played with it in their hand, and ended up with itching, redness and swelling on their skin - an allergic skin reaction! So everyone must be careful and never let hydrangea sap touch your skin!

Bet you didn't expect this, did you? The hydrangeas in the green belt look far better than ours at home with barely any care, and their blooms are bigger too! Hurry up and learn the care secrets!

1. Partial shade is best

Summer weather is too hot, and direct sunlight on hydrangeas can easily cause leaf scorch, so it's best to keep them in a spot with good indirect light. If grown outdoors, you can place them directly under tree shade, and they will produce beautiful flowers!

2. Water more

Hydrangeas love water, and combined with the hot summer weather, you must remember to water them frequently - about once a day is enough. In the morning and evening you can also spray water on the leaves to ensure sufficient air humidity.

The bougainvillea in the green belt climbs walls in no time!

Bougainvillea has become quite the internet-famous plant these past two years! Especially after I previously introduced those bougainvilleas that casually climb several stories high, many flower lovers went to see them in person! But in the south, bougainvillea is a common flower in green belts!

Seeing these beautiful bougainvilleas, don't you feel especially envious? Why do the bougainvilleas in other people's green belts look so good, while yours doesn't bloom at all?

1. Plenty of sunlight + pruning

If you want bougainvillea to bloom more, you need to make sure it gets plenty of sun - at least 6 hours of light a day. Place it on a south-facing balcony or south-facing terrace, promptly prune off leggy branches during the growing season, and after flowering remember to prune off spent flowers as soon as possible, so the bougainvillea can use ample nutrients to bloom.

2. Water control

If you want bougainvillea to bloom as soon as possible, you need to control watering. Water control generally takes about 20 days: first withhold water to let the leaves droop, then give half the usual amount of water, keeping the plant in a state where the leaves droop for half a day and are not drooping for half a day. After 3 weeks of water control, give one thorough watering and add a little fertilizer, and it should basically bloom!

The petunias in the green belt burst into a full pot!

Many flower lovers say that bougainvillea and blue snowflowers are southern flowers - isn't there any flower for northern green belts? Of course there is! That's the petunia that everyone sees so often!

Have you ever wondered why the petunias in green belts are basically always in a state of bursting out of their pots, while the petunias you grow at home only produce a few flowers and even have an ugly overall shape? What exactly is going wrong?

1. Only with more sun will they burst into a full pot

If you want petunias to burst into a full pot as soon as possible, you must make sure they get enough sun - if you can guarantee 8 hours or more a day, that's even better!

2. Mix some rice-washing water into the watering

If you want petunias to burst into a full pot as soon as possible, when watering you can mix in some fermented rice-washing water to give the petunias a nutrient boost, and they will quickly burst into a big ball of flowers!
