Balcony Gardening Recommendations: 5 Long-Blooming Flowers for Beginners and Lazy Gardeners
Want to create a four-season mini garden on your balcony but afraid of making mistakes? Copy this homework today! These 5 kinds of "flowering workhorses" placed on your balcony will easily give you year-round flower enjoyment, and beginners can jump in with eyes closed without falling into any traps!
Hibiscus:As long as hibiscus gets enough sunlight, it simply won't stop from spring to autumn! The bright red and bright yellow flowers are like little trumpets, blooming on time every morning. Although a single flower only lasts one day, the advantage is that there are countless buds! It is especially easy to grow; just water thoroughly after the soil dries out, sprinkle a little compound fertilizer every week, and the flowers can grow bigger than a palm! However, friends in the north should note that below 10
Hydrangea:5 to 9 months, the blue, pink, and purple large flower balls crowd together like a spilled paint palette. The key point is that it is super shade-tolerant and can even be grown on a north balcony! Do not water hydrangeas too often; water again after half the soil dries, otherwise the roots can easily rot.
Fuchsia:The pink-and-white flowers of fuchsia hang down like little lanterns, swaying gently in the breeze, and the atmosphere is instantly maxed out! As long as the temperature stays at 15-25°C, it can bloom from spring to late autumn. It is rather delicate; in summer it needs shading and cooling, and in winter it must be kept warm. But the reward is huge: snap off a branch and stick it in soil and it will live; turning one pot into ten is not a dream!
Moss rose:Moss rose is a must-have for beginners! Blooming from 4 to 11 months, it is a "little sun" every day! Double-petaled varieties are extremely beautiful, and they can bloom abundantly even without care; forgotten for half a month without water, it revives on the spot after the rain! Propagating moss rose by cuttings is easier than eating snacks; just snap off a stem and stick it into soil, and it will root in 3 days. The only drawback is that a single flower has a short bloom period, but the advantage is the huge number of flowers, densely blooming into a whole patch, and photos posted to Moments get wildly liked!
Rose:Who says roses cannot be grown on a balcony? Get to know miniature roses and shrub roses! Varieties such as Juicy Balcony and Neptune King can bloom a dozen flowers from one pot, blooming intermittently from 4 to 11 months! Although you need to spray regularly to prevent pests and diseases, looking at the "little buns" all over the balcony makes it all worth it no matter how troublesome! Remember to give more sun, apply thin fertilizer frequently, and prune the branches heavily in winter, and next year it will be a "good hero" again!
These 5 kinds of flowers are truly the "hexagonal warriors" of balcony gardening, each with its own beauty, and their bloom periods are absurdly long! Quickly choose according to your own balcony's light conditions; next time a friend comes over, they will be directly amazed by your little garden!
