This flower is practically a blooming machine, bursting into a full, big pot of flowers

Many flower lovers think: if you're going to grow flowers, you should pick one that blooms 365 days a year. So, flower lovers must be wondering, is there really such a flower? Yes, there is, and this flower is very easy to grow, practically a little blooming elf, and once it blooms it fills a whole big pot.

This flower is the rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus). Planting the rose of Sharon is very simple, and flower lovers can also propagate it by cuttings. It is best to take the rose of Sharon branches to be planted when the soil is on the dry side.

Soak the base of the cut rose of Sharon branches in a 1000-fold dilution of rooting powder for 3-5 seconds, then insert them into the soil; cover with plastic film to keep warm and moist for several months, and they can be transplanted into a pot, placed in soil, gently firmed down, and watered thoroughly. After potting, place it in a shaded spot for one week, then move it to a sunny spot for normal care. One month after potting, apply light fertilizer frequently, and it can bloom that same year.

In addition, the rose of Sharon is accustomed to moisture and fears waterlogging. During the flowering period, if the soil is rather dry, water the plant immediately; after the Start of Autumn, water once more to improve the rose of Sharon's cold resistance.

The rose of Sharon likes a warm growing environment with plenty of light, and tolerates slight shade, so let it see plenty of sunlight. It is fairly tolerant of cold, and its suitable growing temperature is 15-28°C.

When planting the rose of Sharon, apply organic fertilizer, such as water-soluble fertilizer, before moving it into the pot. During the growing season, apply fertilizer twice a month, following the principle of "apply less and apply lightly." To increase the number of flowers and improve the flower quality, before the plant blooms in summer, topdress fertilizer to the rose of Sharon plants that are growing poorly.

The rose of Sharon has strong sprouting ability and can withstand pruning. In late autumn, promptly cut off dense branches and weak, spindly branches to reduce nutrient consumption. To cultivate a clustered potted rose of Sharon, flower lovers can cut back the trunk in the second spring to encourage new shoots to sprout from the base. In winter, it is best to prune the branches to about 1.5 m high, then prune once more in March, but do not prune too much.
