What flowers are unsuitable to grow in October? Gardening tips to share

The phrase "size up the situation" can be applied not only to one's attitude toward life but also flexibly to growing flowers, because some flowers you can care for in spring, but in autumn they will grow slowly or even fail to bloom. So, which flowers should you not buy in October? Let's take a look below.

Jasmine

Stepping into October, jasmine is the first one not to buy, because jasmine's flowering period usually runs from May to early August. If you buy it at this time, its flowering period has already passed, and after buying it you will need to care for it for more than half a year before you can enjoy it. Another reason is that it is a plant that cannot tolerate cold, so the increasingly cold weather at the end of the year is extremely unsuitable for its flower buds to open, and it may even drop its buds or die from the cold wind.

Gardenia

The reasons for gardenia are much the same as for jasmine. First, its natural flowering period has already passed by October; second, it prefers a relatively warm environment, and its root system is quite sensitive. If at this time it also encounters the cold of November to February, it will wither and die because it cannot endure the external environment. Care suggestion: you can choose to buy it in spring, because the temperature and humidity at that time quite match its living conditions, and once you buy it back you can soon see it bloom beautiful flowers.

Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea's natural flowering period runs from August to June of the following year. Although its flowering period spans a relatively long time, it is a strongly sun-loving flower. After October, the weather begins to turn cold, and weather conditions generally mean less sun and more night, so it very much does not meet its flowering needs. If light cannot be satisfied in winter, the number of flowers will also be greatly reduced.

Moss rose

Although moss rose can be considered tough and easy to grow, like bougainvillea it needs to absorb sufficient light and warm temperatures to easily burst into a full pot of blooms.

If in the weather after October the temperature gradually turns cold and light also decreases, then not only will its flowering effect be affected, but it will also easily die. So before buying, you must be sure of the care conditions at home before making the move, otherwise it will become a nightmare.
