These 4 flowers can explode with growth even when tossed in a green belt, so why do they die within 3 days at home?

Every time I see the flowers in roadside green belts, I get so envious my eyes turn red! Tell me, why is it that flowers kept at home, tended carefully every day, either stay wilted and don't grow or just won't bloom, while the flowers in green belts are hardly cared for by anyone and bloom more and more? It really stabs at the heart of anyone who grows flowers!

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

Has everyone been shocked by this? So how should blue plumbago be grown at home to turn into this and bloom so much?

1. More sun and more water

Blue plumbago loves lots of water and lots of sun. Usually place it in a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill with good light, and if conditions allow, placing it outdoors is best; at the same time, be sure to water it more, about once a day, or even twice a day is no problem.

2. Spray a little potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution

If you want blue plumbago to bloom more, before it blooms you can spray more 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution onto the leaves, or directly water it into the roots, so as to promote more flower bud differentiation in blue plumbago and produce more flowers!

The hydrangea in the green belt - its flowers are bigger than a ball!

I once saw a news story about someone who picked a hydrangea flower while walking and played with it in their hand, and ended up with itchy, red, swollen skin and an allergic reaction! So everyone must be careful, and absolutely do not let hydrangea sap touch your skin!

Would you have guessed it? The hydrangeas in the green belt look much better than ours at home even with casual care, and their flowers are bigger too! Hurry up and learn the care secrets!

1. Semi-shade care is best

Summer weather is too hot, and direct sunlight on hydrangeas easily causes leaf scorch, so it is best to keep them in a place with good scattered light. If grown outdoors, you can place them directly under tree shade, and they will still bloom beautifully!

2. Water more

Hydrangeas love water, and combined with the hot summer weather, you must remember to water them more, 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 been a real internet-famous plant these past two years! Especially the ones I introduced before, the bougainvilleas that casually climb several stories high, which made many flower lovers go visit them! But in the south, bougainvillea is a common flower in green belts!

Seeing these beautiful bougainvilleas, don't you all feel especially envious? Why are the bougainvilleas in other people's green belts so beautiful, 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 more sun, at least 6 hours of light every day. Place it on a south-facing balcony or south-facing terrace, promptly prune leggy branches during the growing season, and after flowering remember to prune spent flowers as soon as possible, so that bougainvillea can use sufficient nutrients to bloom.

2. Water control

If you want bougainvillea to bloom as soon as possible, you need to pay attention to water control

Water control usually takes about 20 days. First do not water, letting the bougainvillea leaves droop, then give half the water, keeping the bougainvillea in a state where the leaves droop for half a day and do not droop for half a day. After 3 weeks of water control, water thoroughly once and add a little fertilizer, and it will basically bloom!

The petunia in the green belt bursts out of the pot!

Quite a few flower lovers have said that bougainvillea and blue plumbago are southern flowers, so are there no flowers for northern green belts? Of course there are! That would be the petunia that everyone often sees!

Have you all noticed why the petunias in green belts are basically always in a bursting-out-of-the-pot state, while the petunias grown at home only bloom a few flowers and even have an ugly overall shape? Where exactly is the problem?

1. Only with more sun will it burst out of the pot

If you want petunias to burst out of the pot as soon as possible, you must make sure they get enough sun. If you can guarantee more than 8 hours a day, that would be even better!

2. Mix a little rice-washing water into the watering

If you want petunias to burst out of the pot as soon as possible, when watering you can mix a little fermented rice-washing water into the water to supplement nutrients for the petunias, and they will quickly burst out of the pot into a big flower ball!

Besides the ones I introduced,

have you seen any other flowers in green belts

that look even better than those grown at home?
