Which flower varieties are suitable for growing in a greenhouse?
Today I am introducing to you6kinds of flowers that are especially easy to grow in a greenhouse, and they are highly attractive too, so even beginners can handle them with ease!
Phalaenopsis (moth orchid)
Phalaenopsis has long enjoyed the reputation of "Queen of the Orchids." Its flowers are shaped like dancing butterflies, and its colors are rich, including pure white, pink, and purple-red, as well as unique varieties with spots or stripes. The flower stems emerge from the leaf axils in an elegant posture. In a greenhouse, simply keep the temperature at 15 - 28°C, and mist water around it with a spray bottle to keep the air humid. Use bark and sphagnum moss as its "little bed," and do not water too often; water again only after the surface has dried. It is a perfectly lazy-person-friendly choice!
Rose (monthly rose)
Roses come in a great many varieties, with brilliant colors and diverse flower forms, from classic cup-shaped blooms to modern high-centered rolled-petal blooms, there is everything you could want. Whether it is the elegance of a single bloom or the exuberance of a mass flowering, all are highly ornamental. A greenhouse can shield it from pests and diseases, and in winter it does not fear freezing either. Give it 6 - 8hours of sun every day, regularly cut off spent flowers and dead branches, and give it a little compound fertilizer, and the flower quantity will directly double!
Hydrangea
Hydrangea flowers are huge and ball-shaped, and the flower color changes with the acidity and alkalinity of the soil: in acidic soil it is mostly blue, while in alkaline soil it turns pink, which is extremely interesting. The common Endless Summer variety has a long flowering period and a large number of flowers. In a greenhouse, keep the temperature at 15 - 25°C, pull up a shade net in summer, and remember for watering: "water thoroughly when dry." Growing red edges and jelly colors is super easy!
Clematis
Clematis is known as the "Queen of Vines," with rich flower forms including single, double, and bell-shaped, and bright flower colors ranging from white and pink to purple and blue, very charming. Its vines can climb and grow, making it suitable for creating flower walls and trellis landscapes. In a greenhouse, at 15 - 25°C, it can bloom early, and its flowering period is also super long! Give it sunshine every day, just do not expose it to harsh sun. Choose soil with good drainage and prune regularly, and you can easily grow a "flower waterfall"!
African violet
The African violet plant is small and delicate, with thick leaves and exquisite flowers. Its flower colors are rich, including blue, purple, pink, and white, and it also has different flower forms such as single, double, and semi-double. In a greenhouse, keep it at 18 - 25°C, with humidity at 50% - 60%. Do not pour water on the leaves; the immersion method is safest. Use a little loose, slightly acidic soil, and it will fill the pot in no time!
Amaryllis
Amaryllis flowers are huge, elegant in form, and brilliant in color, with common varieties in red, pink, white, and bicolor. The flower stems are sturdy, with 2 - 6flowers borne at the top, giving it great visual impact. In a greenhouse, 18 - 25°C is most comfortable, and during the winter dormancy period keep it at 5 - 10°C. When planting, leave 1/3of the bulb exposed, give it plenty of sun, and provide a little phosphorus-potassium fertilizer before flowering, and the blooms will be big and vivid!
