A flower even easier to grow than pothos, blooming from spring to winter and easily covering a whole wall

Recently a flower-loving friend left a message asking whether there is a flower that can climb, has a long blooming period, few pests, and is especially beautiful, but not a rose type. After thinking about it, I recommend today's easy-to-grow plant: Bleeding Heart Vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae). Even in this hot summer, it still blooms beautifully.

First, enjoy a set of beautiful Bleeding Heart Vine photos

This one is from my own potted plant at home. It has been blooming from April until now, and it is still in great condition.

Bleeding Heart Vine is a perennial plant with a unique flower shape, a long blooming period and a large number of flowers. It easily reaches a state where there are more flowers than leaves. Compared with the frequent care that roses need, Bleeding Heart Vine is more suitable for lazy gardeners. It works whether used for a garden fence or a flower rack arch, and if space is not large enough, it can also be grown in a pot. Placed on a balcony, it is also a stunning sight.

The red Bleeding Heart Vine is also very beautiful

Sharing the key care points for Bleeding Heart Vine:

1. The normal blooming period of Bleeding Heart Vine is from June to September, basically the hottest part of the whole year, but with proper care it can keep blooming until around December.

2. Bleeding Heart Vine likes a warm, humid environment with plenty of sunlight, and it is not afraid of sun in summer, but it is not cold-tolerant, so attention must be paid to frost protection in winter.

3. It has a long blooming period and a large number of flowers, and it likes fertilizer. When planting, use fertile, loose soil with good drainage, such as peat soil or nutrient soil.

4. If the light at home is insufficient, do not consider it. When planting, place it in an environment with plenty of light. When light is insufficient, symptoms such as yellowing leaves and fewer flowers easily appear. Be careful not to let it lack water.

5. In winter it enters a dormant state, so reduce watering and protect it from frost.

6. Apply a thin fertilizer once every half month to make it bloom more, especially during the blooming period, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

7. After spent flowers appear, prune in time to promote the sprouting of new branches.

Overall, compared with other climbing flowering plants, Bleeding Heart Vine is relatively easy to grow. If the above points seem too complicated, just remember that Bleeding Heart Vine likes light, and keeping the potting soil moist is enough.

That is all for today's recommendation. I hope you like it.
