What flowers are good to grow in winter? Here are some flowering plants and flowers we recommend for you

Once winter arrives, do you feel the outdoor world has become monotonous and bleak?Actually, that is not the case. As long as you choose the right flowers, you can still have a brilliant sea of blooms!Today we are going to recommend several amazing flowers that can put on a stunning flowering display in winter.

Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe is worthy of being called the "champion" of the winter flower world. Its flowering period is so long that it runs almost through the entire winter, from December all the way to around April of the following year. The flowers are small and exquisite, clustered in groups, and the flower colors are extremely rich: red like fire, pink like rosy clouds, white like snow, and also orange-yellow, light purple and various other colors, colorful and brilliant, like delicate little flower balls hanging on the branches.

Care points: Kalanchoe likes a sunny environment, and at least 4 - 6 hours of light should be ensured every day, so that the flower colors can be more vivid and the flowers fuller. It is relatively drought-tolerant, and watering should follow the principle of "water when dry, water thoroughly when watering." Wait until the surface of the potting soil is dry before watering thoroughly, to avoid root rot caused by water accumulation. Keeping the indoor temperature between 12 - 15°C in winter is most favorable for its growth and flowering. As for fertilizing, during the peak growing season and before the flowering period, apply a dilute compound fertilizer or phosphorus-potassium fertilizer once every half month, which can promote flower bud differentiation and flowering.

Cyclamen

Cyclamen is like an elegant fairy🧚‍♀️ descending to the human world in winter. Its flowers stand tall above the leaves, with petals rolled backward, graceful in form and rich in color, including red, pink, white, purple and many other colors. It also gives off a faint, delicate fragrance, adding a touch of romance and warmth to the cold winter. Its flowering period lasts from November all the way to March of the following year, making it a standout among winter flowers.

Care secrets: Cyclamen likes a cool and humid environment and fears high temperatures and direct strong light. Just place it in a bright spot with indirect light indoors, such as near a window but away from direct sunlight. When watering, be careful not to pour water directly onto the corm, so as to avoid rot. You can slowly water along the edge of the flowerpot, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. If the indoor temperature is kept at 10 - 18°C in winter, it will grow very well. During the growing period, apply dilute cake fertilizer water once every 1 - 2 months, and add phosphorus-potassium fertilizer before the flowering period, which can make the flowers more abundant.

Narcissus

Narcissus has long been known by the laudatory title "fairy of the waves." It has a graceful posture, flowers as white as jade, and a clear, elegant fragrance that refreshes the heart. In winter, you only need to place narcissus bulbs in a shallow basin, add an appropriate amount of clean water, and they will take root and sprout, send out tender green leaves, and bloom beautiful flowers, making it the first choice for hydroponic flowers in winter.

Care points: After buying narcissus bulbs, first peel off part of the outer brown skin, then place them in a shallow basin and add water to one third of the bulb's height. Place it in a sunny spot with a temperature of 10 - 15°C, change the water once every 2 - 3 days, and keep the water clean. During the growth process, you can appropriately add some nutrient solution to promote plant growth and flowering.

Hyacinth

Hyacinth flowers grow densely on the flower stem, like strings of colorful little bells, swaying gracefully. Its flower colors are rich and varied, including blue, purple, pink, white, red and many other colors. The floral fragrance is rich, and can fill the whole room with a charming scent. Hyacinth can be grown either hydroponically or in soil, and can bloom smoothly in winter.

Care guide: When growing hyacinth hydroponically, choose a suitable transparent container, place the hyacinth bulb at the bottle mouth, and let the roots just touch the water surface. In the early stage, change the water once every 2 - 3 days, and after rooting, change the water once a week. Place it in a bright spot with indirect light, and keep the indoor temperature at 10 - 18°C. For soil-grown hyacinth, choose fertile, well-drained soil, bury the bulb about two thirds into the soil, water thoroughly, then place it in a sunny spot, and water according to the principle of "do not water if not dry, water thoroughly when watering." Apply some phosphorus-potassium fertilizer before the flowering period.
