Next, I will share 6 flowers worth growing with fellow flower lovers. Hurry and see whether you are growing any of them!
1. Radermachera sinica (China doll)
Radermachera sinica is a plant often seen in flower markets, and quite a few people grow it. Although its plant is relatively tall, its meaning is really good, symbolizing family harmony and happiness, and a life that goes as one wishes. This potted plant has glossy green leaves all year round, and under lamplight they even shine, so it can be said to be a flower well worth growing. Because Radermachera sinica is relatively large, it is recommended to place it in a corner of the living room. It can be placed in the southeast corner of the living room, which is exactly the wealth position.
Care details for Radermachera sinica:
This potted plant likes light, so placing it on the balcony is right. Of course, it is best to turn the pot once every half month, otherwise some leaves will not be glossy. When it comes to watering, note that it likes a warm and humid environment, so watering frequently is the right thing to do. For nutrient soil, ordinary humus soil for growing flowers is enough.
2. Cinnamomum kotoense (safe tree)
The safe tree symbolizes the safety of family members and is a very good feng shui flower. As a typical foliage potted plant, its plant is also relatively tall. However, it is slightly smaller than the Radermachera sinica mentioned above. To grow a safe tree well is actually very simple. Growing it is not much different from growing Radermachera sinica; just pay attention to watering more. In addition, it is now autumn, which is the peak growing season for most foliage plants. At this time, you can apply more organic fertilizer water. It is best to have more nitrogen fertilizer, as this can promote lush and glossy leaves.
3. Spathiphyllum (peace lily)
Because a tall white flower emerges from its green leaves, just like a sailboat, Spathiphyllum is also called "smooth sailing." This potted plant has a delicate appearance and is a rare flowering plant, and its meaning naturally symbolizes that family members get their wishes in everything and sail smoothly. Placing it on the living room coffee table or a tabletop at home is most suitable.
Care details for Spathiphyllum:
This plant does not like strong sunlight much. Even when it receives light, it is best to have scattered light, so pay attention to shading it when the sun is strongest at noon. In addition, Spathiphyllum fears freezing most. The lowest temperature it can tolerate is 15°C; any lower and frost damage will occur, the leaves will gradually turn yellow, and root rot will begin. It is early autumn now, and the weather is not yet cold. By late autumn it will have to be moved indoors for care.
4. Zamioculcas zamiifolia (money tree/ZZ plant)
Growing a pot of Zamioculcas zamiifolia symbolizes large amounts of money finding you. Like the money tree, it carries the meaning of attracting wealth and prospering. However, this potted plant is more pleasing to look at than the money tree, with thick, glossy green leaves, making it one of the flowers well worth caring for. Zamioculcas zamiifolia is not difficult to grow either; just care for it the same way as Radermachera sinica and the safe tree. Just spray some water on the leaves of Zamioculcas zamiifolia every morning and evening. The purpose of spraying water is to increase the air humidity around the plant and at the same time wash dust off the leaves. After all, the leaves of Zamioculcas zamiifolia also have a good effect of absorbing dust.
5. Clivia miniata (clivia)
Clivia miniata is a very common flowering plant, and it is very popular among flower lovers. Caring for a pot of Clivia miniata at home symbolizes that the indoor owner has the demeanor of a gentleman. And the family will also be very harmonious. Of course, many people grow this flower not only for its meaning, but also for its blooms. If Clivia miniata is cared for properly, it can bloom two or three times a year, with large, vivid, and beautiful flowers, making it absolutely the most sought-after potted plant among flowering plants. Some older flower lovers even raise Clivia miniata as if it were their own daughter!
Care details for Clivia miniata:
Compared with other flowers, Clivia miniata is relatively difficult to grow, and what everyone cares about more is the situation of flower stem pinching. To prevent flower stem pinching, simply apply more monopotassium phosphate before Clivia miniata sends up its flower stem, and use beer diluted with water instead of tap water for watering. With such care, the flower stem can be sent up smoothly.
6. Monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant)
Growing a pot of Monstera deliciosa at home means that the elderly in the family can "enjoy longevity," and it is a foliage plant with a very good meaning. The leaves of this potted plant are very special, just like a turtle shell, so in flower markets it is quite noticeable and distinctive. Monstera deliciosa is relatively easy to care for and manage; in daily life, you only need to water it. Of course, if you want the leaves to grow large and glossy, it is best to fertilize once a month. The fertilizer can be compound fertilizer, decomposed barnyard manure, fermented soybeans, or the like.
