With the development of society, people's living standards have improved by a large margin, and with better living standards come increasingly rich spiritual lives. For example, some people fall in love with fitness, some with reading, and others with travel, but there are also many people who fall in love with growing flowers. Surveys show that the higher people's living standards are, the more indispensable the adornment of flowers, plants and greenery becomes in their lives.

It is now golden September, and many people are already starting to prepare potted flowers for winter, hoping to have flowers to enjoy all winter long. They leave messages asking Xiaohua what flowers are good to grow in winter, so based on this, Xiaohua is sharing this today. Let's take a look at today's topic!

2 kinds of flowers; get one now and you will have flowers to enjoy in winter, very easy to "grow", the "top choice" for autumn and winter potted plants

(One)

Crab claw cactus (Schlumbergera)

When it comes to what kind of flowers are best to grow in winter, Xiaohua feels crab claw cactus is a must-have. Crab claw cactus is a flagship flower that blooms in winter and spring. Its leaves are glossy green, plump and shapely, making it an excellent potted plant. Crab claw cactus produces a large number of flowers and each blooming period is long, making it a plant that easily blooms all over the pot. Generally, around Spring Festival is exactly the peak blooming period of crab claw cactus, with flowers covering the whole pot, festive and beautiful, and it has won the affection of many flower lovers!

Care is as follows;

1. Light

Crab claw cactus likes ample light, so that its leaves can stand upright. If there is too little light, it will not only affect its blooming, but the leaves will also become soft. However, once it reaches the blooming period, crab claw cactus should not have too much light either. If you want crab claw cactus to bloom early, we can control light to force flowering, that is, give it only 6-8 hours of light a day, and the rest of the time it can be kept in complete darkness. With about 20 days of this care, it will be full of flower buds.

2. Watering

Crab claw cactus is fairly drought-tolerant. Generally, the potting soil just needs to be on the dry side with a bit of moisture. Water about once every 10 days, and water thoroughly each time. Do not let water accumulate; if water accumulates, crab claw cactus will rot its roots!

3. Fertilizing

During the growing period, crab claw cactus needs flower fertilizer mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer. You can water it twice a month with fermented soybean water. When it reaches the blooming period, it needs extra phosphorus fertilizer, and then it will bloom continuously.

Hyacinth

Hyacinth is a bulb flower with rich colors and simple care, making it an excellent choice for autumn and winter potted plants. Many people grow several pots of hyacinth at home, and placing them on the windowsill is especially beautiful. However, generally speaking, after hyacinth blooms once, it needs about a month of care before it can bloom a second time.

Care is as follows:

1. Soil

If you want hyacinth to grow well, you must use loose, breathable soil. It is best to use sandy leaf mold soil, and adding a bit of bone meal is even better. That way it can bloom a second time quickly.

2. Light

The growth of hyacinth cannot do without sunlight, and it definitely needs ample sunlight, but it should not be exposed to harsh sun either. It can be placed in a bright living room or bedroom, and the pot needs to be turned frequently. If there is not enough light, it will not bloom. However, after hyacinth grows a flower stem, if it is too short, you can place the hyacinth in a place with little light for 2-3 days, and generally the flower spike will then elongate.

3. Watering

Hyacinth likes moist soil, so it needs frequent watering, but there must be no water accumulation in the pot!

4. Fertilizing

If the base fertilizer is sufficient, you only need to apply 1-2 times of compound flower fertilizer mainly based on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium when autumn and winter approach the blooming period. After blooming, there is no need to fertilize. Flower lovers should promptly prune the spent flowers, and may apply one more round of fertilizer.

In addition, hyacinth can also be grown in water, but a hyacinth grown in water generally can only bloom once; if you want it to bloom a second time, it is a bit difficult.

The above are the potted flowers suitable for autumn and winter care that Xiaohua is sharing today. In fact, there are many other potted flowers suitable for autumn and winter care, such as kalanchoe, Tropaeolum, heartleaf philodendron, clivia, Catharanthus roseus, geranium, African violet, amaryllis... all of them work. If flower lovers like them, do not miss out!

That is all for today's sharing
