These 3 kinds of flowers have a 280-day flowering period a year. Grown on a balcony, they bloom into a "sea of flowers," and beginners can grow them until they burst into pots!
Many people like to keep some flowers and plants at home; they not only purify the air but also decorate the room. They make the home more lively and more natural. Plants like pothos, spider plant, lucky bamboo, and clivia are all very common green potted plants. Pothos especially is found in almost every household and is a very common home flower.
Besides keeping these green potted plants at home, you can also grow some flowering plants, such as bougainvillea, kalanchoe, and bleeding glorybower. Keeping them at home means they can serve not only as foliage potted plants but also as flowering potted plants. These 3 kinds of flowers have a flowering period of more than 200 days a year, and they are very easy to grow. It is now autumn, which is also the season when bougainvillea, kalanchoe, and bleeding glorybower bloom. Grow one pot on the balcony and it can bloom into a sea of flowers, very beautiful and charming.
1. Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea is also called paperflower. Its flowers look very much like flowers produced after three leaves grow together. Bougainvillea has a very long flowering period; generally it gradually begins to bloom after spring each year, and later, through continuous pruning and fertilizing, it can keep blooming until autumn. As long as it is grown reasonably and properly, it can be covered with flowers throughout summer and autumn, very spectacular
Care methods
Bougainvillea is a relatively easy-to-grow woody flowering plant; it is generally grown in slightly acidic mixed soil and placed on a balcony or outdoors. With normal watering and care, the plant can grow dense and vigorous. Many flower lovers also report that their bougainvillea does not bloom, and this has a lot to do with light and fertilizing. Generally after summer arrives, bougainvillea should be given stronger scattered light, which helps the development of flower buds. At the same time, before the flowering period, spray bougainvillea once a week with a 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate water solution, which can provide nutrients for flower bud development. After the bougainvillea flowers fade each time, prune promptly to promote the development of other flower buds.
2. Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe is a very common home flower; generally a potted plant can be obtained through division or cuttings. Its flowering period runs from autumn each year to summer the following year. It is very long, and the flowers keep blooming. Keeping kalanchoe at home symbolizes longevity and health for the family, and it is a very easy-to-grow home potted plant.
Care methods
When growing kalanchoe in autumn, appropriately increase light and ventilation intensity for it; generally it is best placed on a balcony with scattered light. Then add fertilizer to the pot; choose a quick-acting compound fertilizer. Each week, also spray phosphorus and potassium fertilizer on the leaves. This can promote flower bud development. One flowering period lasts about two weeks. After the flowers fade, prune promptly so that the side flower buds continue to develop. By repeating this cycle, kalanchoe will keep blooming.
3. Bleeding glorybower
Bleeding glorybower is a vine-type flower, generally suitable for growing on a balcony. It not only grows fast, but the plant also becomes very dense, and by autumn it can produce beautiful flowers. Bleeding glorybower has pure white flowers with a little red in the middle, making it highly recognizable. Kept at home, it is very spectacular, and especially on a balcony it blooms easily, as beautiful as a sea of flowers.
Care methods
The flowering period of bleeding glorybower is generally in autumn, so in spring and summer the plant should be given fertilizer; choose compound fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer. You can ferment rice-washing water and soybean water from home and pour them into the pot to provide the plant with rich nutrients and promote growth. When autumn arrives, the plant needs phosphorus and potassium fertilizer; you can choose potassium dihydrogen phosphate or bone meal fertilizer, which helps the development of bleeding glorybower flower buds.
These 3 kinds of flowers have a long flowering period at home over a year, and they are all very easy to grow. With normal care, they can bloom every year, and placed on a balcony they can bloom into a sea of flowers, so beginners can grow them.
