This flower has green leaves and gorgeous blooms, incredibly beautiful, and can hold up half the sky of a small garden. It is worth getting.

With the continuous development of urbanization and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people grow some flowers and plants to embellish their lives and green their environment, while some flower lovers like to create a small garden of their own, but the result is not what they wanted, and it is far from what they imagined.

In fact, creating a small garden requires some sense of primary and secondary roles. Today, Hua'er introduces a kind of flower to everyone. In a small garden, it can hold up "half the sky," with green leaves and gorgeous blooms, incredibly beautiful, and worth getting!

This flower is the nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), a perennial semi-trailing or prostrate plant. It can be grown as a hanging plant, or allowed to climb freely. Its branches and leaves are emerald green, and its leaf shape is like that of a bowl lotus. Its flower colors are rich and beautiful, including purplish red, orange-red, creamy yellow, and so on. When in bloom, it looks like a swarm of butterflies dancing among the flowers, especially beautiful.

The nasturtium likes a mild climate. The potting soil should be loose, fertile, and highly permeable. Generally, 2 parts leaf mold and 1 part sandy soil can be mixed into growing soil, and then a layer of base fertilizer can be spread at the bottom of the flowerpot. Eggshell powder, bone meal, worm castings, etc. can be used to increase soil fertility, so that it can better absorb nutrients and grow and bloom.

During care, attention should be paid to watering. It likes moisture and fears waterlogging. During the growing period, the potting soil should maintain about 50% humidity. A method of frequent light watering can be adopted. In spring and autumn, water once every 2-3 days. In summer, water every day, and spray water on the branches and leaves more often to increase humidity, keep the branches and leaves emerald green, differentiate more flower buds, and promote the growth of flower buds and blooming.

It has relatively high fertilizer requirements. Apply diluted liquid fertilizer 3-4 times each month. After each fertilization, it is best to loosen the soil for it to increase air permeability and allow the root system to grow better. After blooming, stop fertilizing to extend the flowering period.
