1. Christmas cactus
Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera truncata) is a common potted flower, and many flower lovers keep one at home. Its leaves are a glossy green with a distinctive jagged shape. After blooming, the flowers come in many colors and are gorgeous, truly a delight to look at. The blooming period of the Christmas cactus is concentrated in winter and spring, which is perfect for friends who want to enjoy flowers during the Spring Festival. Of course, with good care, it can bloom all year round.
The Christmas cactus is a light-loving plant. In daily care, you can let it bask in the sun more, which will make its leaves plump and glossy green and speed up blooming. However, when the sunlight is intense in summer, it also needs shade. When watering the Christmas cactus, pay attention to the dryness and moisture of the potting soil, because it does not like too much moisture, so never let water accumulate in the pot! If you want the Christmas cactus to grow more vigorously, you can also apply some compound fertilizer regularly.
2. Madagascar periwinkle
Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus), as the name suggests, is a flower of all four seasons, also called "daily spring". Its flower body is very special, in a five-petal shape. The small buds bloom among the glossy green leaves, giving a shy, girlish charm. Placed at home, it is a rare decorative piece.
Madagascar periwinkle, like the Christmas cactus, is a light-loving flower. The more sufficient the sunlight, the more vigorous its growth. If it grows in a dark place for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow and the flowers will drop. Madagascar periwinkle fears waterlogging, so be extra careful when watering, especially in winter when you should control water and water as little as possible.
3. Moss rose
Moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora) is a flower we often see outdoors, and now it has gradually been transplanted as a potted flower. Moss rose comes in many colors and grows toward the sun. It needs little effort in care and can bloom in all four seasons.
Moss rose is not picky about growing conditions; ordinary soil can make it grow into a full pot. Just like its name, it loves sunlight. As long as there is enough sunlight, it can fill the pot with blooms. Watering moss rose is also fairly casual; as long as the potting soil is not too dry, growth will not be affected. However, when watering in summer, pay attention to the breathability of the flowerpot to prevent water accumulation.
Friends who cannot decide what flowers to grow can choose these 3 kinds. They are easy to care for and pleasing to look at, and most importantly, they can bloom for more than 200 days, so it is almost safe to say you can enjoy flowers all year round!
