Flowers with a long blooming period that are also suitable for balcony growing, which ones are popular in 2024?
Many flower lovers want to know which plants are actually popular in 2024. Read on below to learn about several highly recommended beautiful plants.
Nasturtium
The nasturtium has a uniquely shaped flower; when fully open it looks like a little bird spreading its wings ready to fly, and its colors are rich, from bright yellow to deep red and even purple. It is a plant with great ornamental value. For daily care, it prefers a mild environment and tolerates neither cold nor heat. In summer, during the dog days, its growth will begin to slow down, so it is recommended to place it in a spot kept at 18 to 24 degrees for care at this time.
Madagascar periwinkle
Madagascar periwinkle, also known as golden chrysanthemum, is a flower especially suitable for growing at home. Its flowers are usually yellow or orange-yellow, giving the flower color a rather simple beauty. It originally grew in the Mediterranean region and is a flowering plant that is relatively cold-tolerant and afraid of heat, so even beginners can grow it very beautifully, and it can also be planted as a medicinal herb. For daily care, note that it likes an environment with plenty of light and likes loose, breathable soil rich in humus, but it is not tolerant of saline-alkali soil. In summer, if the temperature gets too high, around 35 degrees, it will also damage the branches and leaves. In winter, the care temperature is best kept above 2 degrees to avoid frost damage.
Verbena
Verbena can be considered a rather unusual plant, because after its flowers open the blooms are very small, yet the spacing between the flowers is very dense, and its flower colors are mostly pink tones, giving a soft and gentle feeling, while it also has a pleasant fragrance. For care, it likes warm and humid temperatures, likes an environment with plenty of light, and likes loose, fertile soil, but also note that after watering there must not be standing water at the bottom of the flower pot, otherwise the roots are prone to rot.
Geranium
Geranium is also called foreign hydrangea by some flower shop owners. After it blooms it is very beautiful, like a small hydrangea, and its colors are rich, so it is an especially popular plant in 2024. For care, the best growth temperature for geraniums is around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, meaning it likes an environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it can be given more light in daily care, but note that it does not like fertilizer, so do not apply too much fertilizer to it.
