What are the common plant and flower varieties in spring
The plant knowledge information I want to share with you today, next I will introduce it from these aspects: which plants are shade-tolerant and easy to bloom.
The whole year's work depends on a good start in spring. Spring is a colorful season, a season when hundreds of flowers bloom. So how should they be cared for? I have put together a series of related content, hoping to bring you help. Welcome to read.
Common plants and flowers in spring
Common flowers in spring include cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, hyacinths, calla lilies, azaleas, crabapples, and so on. Each flower has its own beauty. I will introduce peach blossoms, azaleas, and crabapples in detail.
Peach blossom: The flowering period of peach blossoms is generally from March to April. Their flowers are mostly pinkish white. Usually they bloom first and then grow leaves, so they count as flowers that bloom in early spring. Whenever peach blossoms are in full bloom, they always give people an extremely lively feeling, very beautiful and bustling. Their floral scent is delicate and elegant, and they are widely loved. "The peach tree is young and elegant, brilliant are its flowers" is used to describe the beauty of peach blossoms.
Azalea: Azalea flowers are large and beautiful, mostly rose pink. There are many varieties. The flowering period of azaleas is generally from April to May. Azalea care methods are relatively complicated, but when they bloom, the flowers are very beautiful and elegant. China is a treasure trove of azaleas and has preserved the diversity of azaleas.
Crabapple: The flowering period of crabapple is from April to May, and the fruiting period is from August to September. Crabapple greatly likes sunlight, and during the growth period it needs sufficient sunlight and also fertile soil. Crabapples often bloom in patches. When they bloom, the flowers are dazzling and have high ornamental value.
Care methods for common plants and flowers in spring
Most common plants and flowers in spring are tolerant of low temperatures and do not have high temperature requirements, but they all need sufficient light and good ventilation. They have relatively strict soil requirements and need fertile, loose soil with good drainage and aeration.
When watering spring flowers, you must follow the principle of watering thoroughly after the soil dries out. Remember not to water too frequently, causing water accumulation in the flower soil. To ensure suitable humidity around them, you can appropriately spray water around them.
In addition, although the sunlight in spring is not particularly strong, we should still try to avoid direct sunlight. Excessive sunlight will scorch plant leaves and, in severe cases, may even cause plant death.
If the lighting in our home is not very good, then growing some shade-tolerant plants is a very good choice. Today I recommend several plants that are both shade-tolerant and easy to bloom. Come and take a look.
Shade-tolerant and easy-to-bloom plant: hydrangea
Hydrangea is one of China's native plants. It likes a warm, semi-shaded growing environment and cannot tolerate direct strong light. During general care, it needs 60%-70% shading. It is a very shade-tolerant flower and also a very easy-to-bloom plant.
Orchid
Orchid is one of China's top ten famous flowers and also one of the Four Gentlemen among flowers. It has a long history of cultivation in China. Orchids like a shady growing environment and are afraid of direct sunlight. At the same time, orchids are also very easy-to-bloom plants.
Clivia
Clivia is also called sword-leaf lycoris and is native to South Africa. In its place of origin, Clivia grows under trees, so it is very shade-tolerant, and its flowering period is also relatively long, reaching one to two months.
Gardenia
Gardenia is a native flower of China. It likes sunlight, but it also has strong shade tolerance. However, growing in shade for a long time will affect the number of flowers. Gardenia's floral scent is very rich, making it especially suitable for care at home.
Gloxinia
Gloxinia is native to Brazil and is a flower suitable for indoor care. Gloxinia likes a warm, semi-shaded growing environment, is relatively shade-tolerant, and is afraid of direct sunlight. Gloxinia is very easy to bloom, and its flowering period is long. It generally begins to bloom in March every year and can bloom until August.
The above are the shade-tolerant and easy-to-bloom plants I have put together for you. Of course, shade-tolerant and easy-to-bloom plants are not limited to these. I will not introduce them to you one by one.
