Don't Fear the Arrival of the Autumn Tiger: These 6 Flowers Are Easiest to Grow in Autumn, and Next Spring They'll Fill the Air with Fragrance
The "Autumn Tiger" is still showing its power, and these past two days have really been too hot for us. Although it's not the same kind of heat as before, every day we're still genuinely soaked with sweat down our backs. The good thing is, once the "Autumn Tiger" leaves, you can plant all the flowers and plants you like! Those who can't wait can plant them right now too. Today Huahua is recommending several flowers you can plant as soon as the "Autumn Tiger" leaves. When spring arrives next year, you're guaranteed to have blooms all over the house!
Canterbury Bells
Canterbury bells are neither heat-tolerant nor cold-tolerant, so this is just the right time to sow them. When planting, choose neutral soil with good aeration and drainage. Because its seeds are too tiny, the soil covering the seeds must not be too thick; if it's too thick, it will hinder the seeds from sprouting and breaking through the soil. Autumn sunlight is just right for Canterbury bells. Just pay attention to ventilation and light as usual, and you'll have no problem growing Canterbury bells well!
Daisy
Daisies like slightly cooler weather and can't stand heat, yet they love light. The temperature for daisy seed germination is between 22-28°C, and the temperature during the growing period is about 20-25°C. Daisies are very easy to grow. Normally, just place them in a semi-shaded spot with diffused light and they'll grow on their own. Water them on time and they'll survive. They're really just too easy to grow.
Pansy
Pansies are most suited to being grown in autumn. Why? Pansies like light and cool water, and they're also cold-tolerant. For a flowering plant, this is like eliminating more than half the trouble, because after autumn comes winter. Pansies are cold-tolerant, so in winter they can smoothly get past this "tribulation." Pansies have somewhat higher requirements for soil aeration and drainage, because pansies fear high temperatures and waterlogging the most. Get this right and there basically won't be any big problems.
Calendula
Calendula has very strong adaptability and can grow in environments as cold as -9°C (the lowest being -9°C). It grows fast and isn't picky about soil. As long as the soil is fertile, well aerated, and slightly acidic, it can survive.
Snapdragon
Snapdragon is also a flower with very strong adaptability. Cold-tolerant and averse to heat are its characteristics. The soil for planting snapdragons should be fertile, loose, sandy soil. When planting, make sure to keep the soil moist, and after the seeds sprout, just remove the covering grass in time.
Phalaenopsis
Phalaenopsis is also a plant that enjoys cool conditions. When planting, be careful to place the phalaenopsis in a semi-shaded spot with diffused sunlight, and when watering, follow the principle of "water when dry, hold back when wet." Because of its unique appearance, attractive colors, and the meaning of good luck it represents, phalaenopsis is deeply loved by people. Autumn is truly the perfect time to plant phalaenopsis.
