October is the perfect time to plant flowers; recommended flowering plants that are easy to grow and readily fill out their pots

When golden autumn arrives in October, with clear skies and crisp air, nature puts on its colorful autumn attire. At this time, besides people feeling the joy brought by the cool weather, flowers too quietly rejoice and bloom again and again. So, which flowers love to bloom most in golden autumn? Let's find out together below.

Dahlia

Dahlia is also called dahlia chrysanthemum or sweet potato flower by flower shop owners. Its flowers have a very distinctive appearance, with long peduncles, flowers that often droop, and ligulate petals in diverse colors including white, red or purple. Its flowering period is most vigorous in autumn, and it is also the national flower of Mexico. For home care, dahlia grows at temperatures between 15~25 degrees Celsius and likes a full-sun environment, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day; only then will its later flowering effect be better. For watering, choose to water when dry and stop when wet; you can also feel the pot soil by hand, and if it has turned white and dry, water thoroughly in time. Avoid long-term water accumulation in the pot.

New York aster

New York aster is one of the most popular flowers in our country. Its flowering period is mainly concentrated in autumn, especially in October, when its flower form opens with ligulate petals surrounding the yellow center. The overall plant is deep green and glossy, petite and lovely. If cared for at home, it can basically stay evergreen all year round. It also has strong adaptability, does not demand much from the soil, is drought-tolerant and cold-tolerant, and is suitable for various climatic conditions. When caring for it in autumn, place it in a bright spot, as this can promote flower bud differentiation and more blooming.

Osmanthus

Osmanthus, with its intoxicating fragrance filling the air, becomes the signature scent of this season. Its flowering period is usually autumn, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, when large numbers of golden or orange flowers bloom on the branches and release a rich fragrance, hence the saying "In the eighth month, osmanthus blooms everywhere." For care, the growing temperature is 15-28 degrees Celsius. It likes fertile, slightly acidic soil. In addition, pay attention to opening windows often for more ventilation. Do not water too frequently; just keep the pot soil moist. Avoid long-term water accumulation in the pot.
