What flowers and green plants are suitable for growing on a bay window? These varieties are recommended
A bay window is a small patch of space with great light and excellent ventilation - truly a dream spot for creating a little garden! Today I'm going to recommend a few flowers and green plants that are perfect for placing on a bay window, so your bay window looks its best and brims with life.
Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana)
Kalanchoe plants are small but very refined, with plump, emerald-green leaves. When it blooms, the flowers come in clusters and masses, in a rich range of colors - red, pink, yellow, white - and from 12month it can keep blooming until April of the following year, with a very long viewing period. Kalanchoe loves sunlight, and a bay window has plenty of light, so placing it here lets it grow more vigorously and produce more flowers. Don't water too often normally - just water thoroughly once the soil is dry.
Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera)
The stem segments of the Christmas cactus are flat and bright green, with pointed teeth along the edges, shaped just like crab claws - really interesting. Its flowers grow at the tips of the stem segments, in vivid colors including rose red, pink, white and more. The Christmas cactus is a short-day plant, and on a bay window you can control when it blooms by adjusting the light duration. Generally in autumn, giving it 8 - 10hours of light a day will let it bloom in winter. In summer, remember to shade it from strong light; in winter, keep it warm, don't water too much, and just keep the soil slightly moist.
Asparagus Fern (Asparagus setaceus)
The branches and leaves of the asparagus fern are fine and long, looking especially elegant and fresh. Placing it on the bay window of a study instantly lifts the atmosphere, full of a scholarly charm. The asparagus fern likes a warm, humid environment with a bit of shade and ventilation, and it should not be exposed to direct sun. Normally you can mist water around it more often to increase air humidity. Don't water too much - keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, otherwise the roots will rot.
Bear's Paw (Cotyledon tomentosa)
Bear's Paw is one of the cutest succulents, with plump, egg-shaped leaves covered in white fuzz, and little red claws at the leaf tips. Bear's Paw likes a sunny, well-ventilated environment, and a bay window is simply tailor-made for them. When watering Bear's Paw, remember "water thoroughly when completely dry," and never water too much, otherwise it easily grows leggy and may even rot at the roots.
Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)
The leaves of the Monstera have a very peculiar shape, with many holes and splits, exactly like a turtle's shell, and the leaves stay glossy green all year round, with extremely high ornamental value. It is relatively shade-tolerant, so just place it on a bay window with scattered light. Monstera has a high water demand, and during growth you should keep the soil moist at all times; mist the leaves with water every few days so the leaves stay glossy green and dewy.
Jasmine (Jasminum sambac)
The fragrance of jasmine can be smelled from far away, extremely rich, and the flowers are snow-white; the flowering period is in 5 - 8month. It really loves sunlight, and the light conditions on a bay window let jasmine grow sturdy and produce more, more fragrant flowers. To grow jasmine, use fertile, well-draining soil; when it's hot in summer, water evaporates quickly, so water more and don't let it go dry.
In short, these flowers and green plants each have their own beauty. Whether you like vivid colors, prefer fresh and elegant ones, or want to make your home's air fresher, there is always one among them that suits your bay window.
