What flowers and plants bloom in autumn and winter and are easy to grow all year round?
Before we know it, winter has arrived, and many places across the country have been getting colder recently. Winter often leaves the impression of everything withering and piercing cold winds. But in nature, some plants go against the grain. Below, we recommend several plants suitable for indoor growing in winter that also bloom.
Rieger begonia
Rieger begonia, also known as four-season begonia and rose begonia, is a very beautiful four-season flower. Common colors include red, orange, yellow, and pink. Its flower meaning is perfection, harmony, and amiability, carrying beautiful blessings. If you start caring for it now, it will roughly bloom in January, and the flowering period will continue until April of next year. So how do you grow it in winter? First, provide it with a good sunlight environment; placing it on a south-facing balcony is most suitable, as this allows full photosynthesis. However, note that it is not very tolerant of drought, and the care temperature must not be lower than 15°C. For watering, water about once a week, and make sure the potting soil is moist. Gardeners can touch the soil to judge; if the soil is moist, do not water again.
Primrose
Primrose belongs to the genus Cyclamen in the primrose family. Its flower colors are brilliant, and its flower shape resembles a small bird spreading its wings to fly. Therefore, it also has auspicious names such as four-season primrose, maiden cherry primrose, and nianjing flower. At the same time, primrose is also one of the most popular winter flowers in the world. For winter care, the suitable temperature is between 15~25°C, and in the winter care environment, room temperature must not be lower than 12°C. As long as the ambient temperature meets these conditions, it will bloom, and the flowering period can extend from spring to winter. Daily care is very simple: it likes light, and watering should not be excessive. Just follow the principle of letting the soil dry before watering and watering thoroughly when dry. With normal care, it can bloom brilliantly for you.
Kalanchoe
From the name alone, you can tell that its meaning is very auspicious. It symbolizes great fortune and long life as a "festive flower," and it is also a flower that is extremely easy to propagate by cuttings. A small section of stem plus leaves can produce a pot of kalanchoe.
For winter care, kalanchoe is relatively easy to grow. It is not picky about soil, and its living environment tolerates both drought and cold. As long as conditions are not extreme, it can grow vigorously. For watering, it differs by season: in summer, water about once every 2-3 days; in autumn, water once a week; in winter, even less.
