What flowers are good to grow in autumn? These 4 are beautiful, easy to care for, and bloom all over the pot
In autumn, flowers, plants and trees wither. If you want to keep feeling the vitality of nature, grow a few pots of flowers that bloom in autumn. Below we introduce 4 kinds of flowers!
Chrysanthemum
The flowering period of chrysanthemum is from September to November. Chrysanthemums are elegant in form and bright in color, making them an ornamental flower.
Chrysanthemums like a sunny, well-ventilated environment, dislike exposure to blazing sun, are slightly tolerant of shade, and fear waterlogging.
They prefer loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic sandy loam. You can use a soil mix of 4 parts humus soil, 4 parts garden soil, and 2 parts river sand.
Lily
The flowering period of lilies is from April to October. With beautiful flower shapes and bright colors, the beautiful scene when they bloom is extremely ornamental and truly pleasing to the eye.
Choose fertile, well-aerated sandy loam with a deep soil layer. In the high-temperature season of autumn, spray water on the leaves 2-3 times every day at noon to prevent the soil temperature from exceeding 30°C and affecting growth.
Crab cactus
The flowering period of lilies is from October to February of the following year. The flowering period can be regulated by controlling light.
It likes loose soil with good drainage and aeration. It is not cold-tolerant but likes light, and is best grown in a semi-shaded environment. Use clean, loose coarse sand mixed with peat and rotten leaves as soil.
After September, reduce watering. During high-temperature periods, water once every 1-2 days.
Hibiscus
The flowering period of hibiscus is from July to October. The flowers come in white, pink, and purplish red. These flowers flutter in the wind, and their rich fragrance is refreshing and delightful.
Before flowering, you can apply a phosphorus fertilizer once. It can promote flowering, make the flower colors more vivid, and also allow some weaker-growing plants to sprout flower branches.
During the flowering period, reduce fertilization. Generally, fertilizing once every 2 months is enough. Compound fertilizer is mainly used, which can extend the flowering period and allow you to enjoy the flowers for longer.
