Recommended flower varieties that are easy to grow and beautiful, a sure cure for plant killers

I believe many people, like me, love flowers but just cannot grow them well. They want to grow them but worry about becoming a "plant killer" and give up. Actually, for us "plant killers," we can try growing some easy-to-grow, high-beauty flowers. Let's take a look together with the editor of Huinong Network.

1. Kalanchoe

The petals cluster into balls, the colors are rich, the flowering period is long, and the ornamental value is high. It symbolizes health and longevity, and is a beloved indoor potted flower.

Care tips:

1. Kalanchoe likes a warm, slightly humid environment with plenty of sunlight. Water appropriately, keeping the soil dry-wet alternating. Fertilize once a month during the growing season.

2. Pinch the tips at the right time to encourage more branching, achieving the effect of a beautiful plant, green leaves, and abundant flowers.

2. Petunia

The colors are complete, the flower shapes are diverse, and the flower quantity is large. Whether placed on a balcony or in a courtyard, it is a good choice. Petunia is one of the must-grow varieties for flower lovers.

Care tips:

1. Petunia likes sunny, warm and humid places, such as a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill.

2. If you want petunia to fill the pot, pay attention to giving it some compound fertilizer, applying light fertilizer frequently.

3. Geranium

It blooms all year round, with flowers in clusters, and is a great flower for decorating windowsills. Geranium has effects such as stopping bleeding, constricting blood vessels, relieving asthma, reducing depression and anxiety, tonifying the body, deodorizing, and antibacterial and sterilizing.

Care tips:

1. Sufficient sunlight helps geranium bloom, but when the temperature is too high, direct sunlight is not suitable. Expose it to more sunlight in spring and autumn. In summer, pay attention to the temperature; when the temperature is too high, avoid letting geranium receive light.

2. Applying too much fertilizer at once will cause dehydration in geranium. Apply dilute liquid fertilizer about 2~3 times a month, and spray a 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution once before flowering, which can make geranium bloom more and more brightly.

3. Geranium should not be watered too much; generally watering once every 3~5 days is enough.

4. Oxalis

In the broad sense, oxalis includes most plants of the genus Oxalis, with rich flower colors and diverse forms. Common purple-flowering oxalis in China includes red-flowered oxalis. Though oxalis looks delicate, it is actually strong in vitality and is a preferred plant for landscaping!

Care tips:

1. Oxalis is extensively managed and does not require special care. It likes sunny, warm and humid environments. Keep sufficient sunlight so it will not grow too weak or leggy.

5. Cosmos

Cosmos has a tall plant shape, elegant leaf shape, rich flower colors, and small, exquisite flowers. The whole plant of cosmos used as medicine has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, improving eyesight and resolving dampness.

Care tips:

1. Cosmos likes sun and moisture; water once every 1~2 days. The growing soil should not be too fertile; too fertile easily leads to leggy growth and few flowers.

2. During the flowering period, pay attention to pinching the tips frequently.

6. Cineraria

This flower is brightly colored, with full flower shapes and a long flowering period. It can be planted in flower beds or potted and placed in courtyards, corridors and passageways, giving people a fresh and pleasant feeling.

Care tips:

1. Cineraria likes a warm and humid environment with scattered light, and must not be exposed to direct sunlight. It has relatively high humidity requirements and needs frequent misting.

2. Before flowering, do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, control the amount of watering, and the room temperature should not be too high; otherwise, the leaves will grow too large and affect the ornamental value. Remove spent flowers in time.

The above are the easy-to-grow, high-beauty flower varieties compiled by the editor of Huinong Network, a sure cure for "plant killers." Friends who love flowers, why not start growing them right away?

In the flower world, which flowers are high-beauty and easy to grow? Below, the editor will introduce several flower varieties to you.

Star Jasmine

Star jasmine, also known as windmill jasmine and Chinese star jasmine, is an evergreen woody vine of the genus Trachelospermum. Although star jasmine is not as world-famous as clematis, it is also renowned at home and abroad. Star jasmine has two kinds of flowers, pink and white. As long as there is plenty of light and sufficient water and fertilizer, star jasmine can quickly cover a balcony. Moreover, star jasmine flowers are fragrant and pleasant to smell; the elegant fragrance it gives off seems never enough no matter how much you smell it. Therefore, there is a saying that star jasmine is "not jasmine, but better than jasmine."

Hibiscus

Hibiscus is also known as mulberry-leaf peony, big red flower, hibiscus peony, and so on. As the state flower of Hawaii and the national flower of Malaysia, seeing it makes people think of southern beauties wearing grass skirts.

As long as the temperature is suitable, hibiscus can bloom from late spring to late autumn. Such a nice flower really blooms brilliantly with just a little sunlight.

Begonia semperflorens

In early April this year, I bought a pot of Begonia semperflorens online. When it arrived, there were already several small buds on the branches, and not long after, it opened small bright red flowers. Now it is already August, and the branches are still blooming endlessly. As long as the temperature does not fluctuate too much, Begonia semperflorens has flowers for a long time. Moreover, besides red, Begonia semperflorens also produces white and pink flowers. The care method for Begonia semperflorens is very simple: just keep the soil moist and the light sufficient.

Stock

Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran wrote in his famous work "The Violet": "Nature has given you that beauty, that fragrance and delicacy which she rarely grants to other flowers." Stock, famous for its beauty and delicacy, has ornamental value directly proportional to its ease of growing. As a flower of winter and spring, stock is very cold-resistant; daily care only requires supplementing light and water.

Rieger Begonia

Rieger begonia is also known as rose begonia. Its bright flowers and rich colors have earned Rieger begonia the reputation of "queen of potted flowers." Flower lovers who like Rieger begonia mostly covet its beauty. After all, when the flowering period comes, Rieger begonia produces double flowers shaped like roses, truly a feast for the eyes. Compared with million bells and geranium, Rieger begonia is relatively fussy. But for daily care, as long as you follow scattered light, water appropriately, and pinch the tips regularly, it can smoothly fill the pot.

Ixora

Ixora is also called water hydrangea and is a very easy-to-grow flower. Ixora has an extremely long flowering period. In areas with mild temperatures year-round, ixora can bloom all year round. With strong adaptability to the environment, even beginners can easily grow it. Moreover, ixora has many colors: red, orange, white, yellow, and so on are all possible. Planting several colors together can yield a colorful carpet.

Christmas Cactus

Christmas cactus has the beautiful meanings of adding brilliance to splendor, and of heaven and earth and grand prospects. In Western countries, Christmas cactus is called "Christmas cactus." Christmas cactus has a trailing plant shape, bright and lovely colors, and delicate, graceful flowers, making it very suitable for home growing. Since the 1980s, China has had a history of introducing and cultivating Christmas cactus. After decades of local adaptation, Christmas cactus can safely overwinter and pass summer in most areas of China. The care techniques are nothing more than supplementing light and appropriate water and fertilizer.

Besides the several potted flowers introduced by the editor above, crown of thorns, lipstick plant, firecracker flower, geranium, flowering maple, and other flowers are also high-beauty, easy-to-grow flower varieties. As long as there is sufficient light and appropriate water and fertilizer, they can bloom brilliantly through all four seasons.
