More and more people are getting into growing flowers, and many people love plants and greenery. Not only can tending them in spare time lift your mood and help you relax, but some plants also have emerald-green leaves and beautiful flowers, making them very attractive placed at home.

For people with today's fast-paced lifestyle, looking after flowers has become a rather troublesome matter, and many people have no time to water or fertilize their plants. To address this problem, Shitou suggests choosing flowers that are easy to grow, need little care time, and still grow sturdy and lush. Take the flower shared today, called moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora); in fact, many people call it sun rose.

Moss rose is a plant in the genus Portulaca of the family Portulacaceae. Its characteristics are fast propagation and strong survival ability: just snap off a stem and toss it into a flower pot, and it will quickly take root and sprout, growing into a dense large potted plant in half a year. It is called moss rose because, compared with other plants in the Portulacaceae family, it can produce large and beautiful flowers, and some varieties can even produce double flowers. Every year in summer and autumn is the flowering period of moss rose. It is a very easy-care houseplant, and during later care it can still produce beautiful flowers, easy to manage and beautiful.

When growing moss rose, ordinary flower-growing soil is generally completely enough to meet its growth needs. Moss rose is propagated by sowing or by cuttings; sowing in spring will grow into a potted plant, while cutting propagation means inserting the stems directly into the soil, and they will take root in about 1 week. For a surviving moss rose potted plant, it is best to place it on the balcony for care, so there is good light and good ventilation, and the plant grows very fast. You can also take the grown stems, prune and cut them again, and within half a year you can propagate many potted plants from cuttings.

Every year in summer, when moss rose reaches its flowering period, you can spray the plant with a 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate water solution, which allows more flower buds to develop and produce beautiful large flowers.

The pictures shared above are all from a flower lover who grows moss rose on her home balcony. She snapped a few stems from a neighbor's house, and then within half a year, through care and repeated cuttings, she grew 10 dense potted plants.

So moss rose is a flower very suitable for beginners to grow. As long as it is planted in a pot, placed on the balcony to receive light, and watered normally, it can grow and bloom quickly.
