Which plants are not easy to bloom in autumn? Not recommended to buy after the start of autumn

As the seasons change, the varieties in the flower market also quietly change. Entering September, although it is still the pleasant season of late summer and early autumn, for some specific flowers, this is no longer the best period for buying and care.

Water lilies and bowl lotus

Water lilies and bowl lotus, as representatives of aquatic flowers, however, entering September, as the temperature gradually drops, the water temperature also changes accordingly, which is extremely unfavorable for the growth of water lilies and bowl lotus. Buying them at this time not only makes it difficult to ensure they will bloom normally, but improper water temperature management may also cause damage to the plants. Therefore, for friends who want to grow water lilies or bowl lotus, it is recommended to wait until next spring when it is warm and flowers are blooming before making plans.

Gardenia and jasmine

Gardenia and jasmine, with their rich fragrance and fresh leaf color, have become highlights of the summer garden. However, with the arrival of September, these two kinds of flowers gradually enter the decline stage of their lives. Gardenias or jasmines bought at this time have likely already missed their best viewing period and flowering period, and care becomes more difficult due to the seasonal change. In order to enjoy their most beautiful moments, it is recommended to buy and care for them in early or mid-summer.

Crape myrtle and rain lily

Crape myrtle and rain lily, as representative summer flowers, are known for their rich flower colors and long flowering periods. However, by September, the flowers of crape myrtle begin to gradually decrease, while rain lilies may suffer root damage due to continuous autumn rain, affecting their overall growth condition. Although they can still maintain some ornamental value in autumn, for flower lovers pursuing the best viewing effect, buying them at this time may not be a wise choice.

Geranium and cyclamen
Geranium and cyclamen enter a dormant state during the high temperatures of summer, and although they gradually resume growth after the start of autumn, buying geraniums at this time requires more energy to take care of them. Geraniums also have relatively high requirements for light and water, and if not cared for properly, problems such as yellow leaves and root rot can easily occur. Cyclamen is a plant that blooms in winter, but buying cyclamen after the start of autumn is not a good choice. At this time its root system is relatively fragile and easily damaged. Moreover, cyclamen also has relatively high requirements for temperature and humidity, and after the start of autumn the temperature changes greatly, making it difficult to provide a stable growing environment for cyclamen.

In short, when choosing plants after the start of autumn, we need to consider the growth habits and adaptability of the plants. For those plants that are not suitable to buy after the start of autumn and plants that do not easily bloom in autumn, we can choose to buy them in other seasons, or choose some plants suitable for growing and blooming in autumn, such as chrysanthemums, osmanthus, and cotton rose.
