What flowers can be planted now to bloom at Spring Festival? Potted variety recommendations

More than half of September has passed, and this is a great time in the crisp autumn weather to get started planting flower seedlings. So which flowers, if purchased in September, will be in their blooming period right around the Lunar New Year Spring Festival? Friends who are interested, let's take a look at the best recommendations~

Clivia

Clivia is a plant that offers both ornamental leaves and ornamental flowers, known for its elegant posture and fresh floral fragrance. Its leaves are thick and emerald green, and its flowers are large and beautiful, usually orange-yellow or pale yellow. At the same time, after entering September, Clivia enters a rapid growth period, so in home care, attention should be paid to avoiding strong direct sunlight to prevent sunburn on the leaves. As for watering, follow the principle of keeping the soil slightly moist, avoiding waterlogging, and especially in winter reduce the watering frequency. The most suitable growth temperature is around 15~25°C. In addition, because Clivia has fleshy roots, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied appropriately during the growing season to extend the blooming period.

Camellia

The reason camellia has been one of the most popular flowers since ancient times is that, besides its outstanding flower form, it also has an incomparable fresh fragrance, a long-lasting blooming period, and an extremely large number of flowers. If you are also attracted by its floral beauty, you might as well start buying buds in September. When caring for camellia at home, camellia likes a bright environment, so it can be placed on an open balcony, but if winter comes, it should be brought indoors, otherwise the leaves and flowers are easily damaged by cold. As for watering, just keep the soil slightly moist; do not give it excessive water to prevent root rot, and remember to promptly pour out any accumulated water at the bottom of the flower pot. As for soil, you can find some slightly acidic soil rich in humus; this loose and fertile soil layer is beneficial to its health.

Daphne

Daphne is one of the few flowers that bloom in winter. Its overall plant form is mostly shrub-like or small tree-like, with slender and slightly curved branches. Its flowers are small and delicate, usually white or pale yellow, with tightly arranged petals and yellow stamens in the center. After the daphne blooms, as long as one or two flowers open, the whole room is filled with fragrance. The blooming period of daphne is relatively long, about 3~4 months, so if you buy the plant in September, it means that after another two months, once it enters the blooming period, you will enjoy it for a long time in winter.
