Flowers and green plants suitable for keeping indoors at home, and which is cheaper when buying flowers at the flower market

For friends who enjoy potted plant care, most of them value cheapness and good quality. Unlike fresh cut flowers, which have to be thrown into the trash after a few days in a vase and somewhat waste money, potted plants rarely go to waste; as long as they are cared for well, 3-10 years is no problem at all, and the varieties are diverse too. Today I will recommend a few varieties of flowers and plants that are easy to grow, beautiful and cheap.

Gerbera

Generally speaking, Gerbera is very easy to keep alive, and as a potted plant its flowering period can last as long as 6 months. Its flowers are large, and the flower colors include red, white, yellow, orange, purple and so on, very rich. At the flower market, one pot can be bought for within 5-10 yuan. There are not many points to note in daily care; just protect the leaves so they do not become dehydrated or rot. The characteristic of Gerbera is that there is a lot of fuzz on the stems, so if it is accidentally allowed to lack water, the overall flowering period is easily shortened.

Hosta

Hosta is a traditional ornamental flower. Its flowers have an elegant and refined white color, and its leaves feel as soft as silk in the hand, hence its name. At flower stalls, its price is also very low, about 15 yuan per pot. Its flowering period mostly occurs in the two seasons of summer and autumn. In terms of care, it has relatively high water requirements and likes slightly moist soil. In summer it needs watering once a day, and in spring and autumn when it is relatively dry, it also needs additional misting to maintain moisture, while in winter the watering frequency should be appropriately reduced.

Hibiscus

Hibiscus is also known as rose of Sharon. Its flowers are brightly colored and its leaves are oval and emerald green, giving people a lovely feeling of being gorgeous yet not arrogant. At the flower market, its flower colors are mostly bright red, pink or yellow, and its flowering period can usually continue for several months. In home care, Hibiscus likes a warm and cool environment, and the soil only needs to be kept moist without waterlogging. In addition, as a potted plant it has strong adaptability to temperature, tolerating a minimum temperature above 5 degrees.

Cyclamen

For people who love strolling through flower streets, Cyclamen is not unfamiliar. It has rich colors and a flower shape like a little bird spreading its wings to fly.

Its flowering period is very, very long, and at most it is a plant that can bloom continuously for 4 months, so it is very nice to keep indoors for viewing. In terms of care, it likes temperatures between 15~25 degrees, requires watering after the soil dries slightly, and likes acidic soil. In daily care, giving it more slow-release fertilizer at the roots will let it produce more beautiful flowers.
