When everyone else buys flowers for Chinese New Year, he buys onion bulbs - and in the end, the people who laughed at him are all jealous
Onion bulb No. 1: Narcissus!
Narcissus is a traditional ornamental flower with a long history of cultivation. It looks fresh and elegant, and it also has a rich fragrance. Keep a pot in a well-ventilated spot indoors, and when it blooms, the whole room is filled with its scent. Just don't put it in the bedroom~
How to care for it after buying it home?
Narcissus likes a warm growing environment, so be sure to keep it indoors and maintain a room temperature above 15°C, but do not place it near a radiator or underfloor heating.
It is best to place narcissus on an indoor windowsill or another spot with good light to ensure sufficient sunlight. If growing it in water, change the water once every 2 or 3 weeks; if growing it in soil, water once a week, and mist it often to keep it humid.
Many people carve the narcissus bulbs to make the flowers bloom more beautifully, but this is not recommended, because the bulbs contain toxic compounds such as lycorine. Avoid unnecessary harm.
Onion bulb No. 2: Amaryllis!
Amaryllis is a particularly beautiful bulbous flower. A single bloom is very large, as big as a palm, with vivid colors and an elegant flower shape.
How to care for it after buying it home?
Amaryllis is originally distributed in Brazil and other places, and it grows best in a warm, humid environment. In winter it should be moved indoors. Amaryllis grows fastest at 18~20°C, with large flowers and bright colors.
Amaryllis is a bulbous flower, so be sure not to water it too often. Do not water if the soil is not dry, otherwise it is easy for water to accumulate in the pot and cause the amaryllis bulb to rot.
Although amaryllis is afraid of freezing, you should still pay attention to indoor air circulation. When the weather is good, open the windows to ventilate and refresh the air.
Onion bulb No. 3: Hyacinth!
Hyacinth is another beautiful "onion bulb" plant. Its upright stems, large and layered flowers, bright colors, and rich fragrance all make it deeply loved by flower enthusiasts.
How to care for it after buying it home?
Hyacinth is a flower that especially loves sunlight. Place it on an indoor balcony or windowsill or another spot with good light to ensure sufficient sunlight.
Hyacinth likes a cool living environment and has a certain cold tolerance. Maintaining room temperature at around ten-odd degrees Celsius is enough, which helps flower bud differentiation and growth.
Before watering hyacinth, first check how dry or wet the potting soil is. Insert a wooden stick 2 or 3 cm into the soil. If the stick is moist and has soil sticking to it, there is no need to water; if it is dry, then water.
Onion bulb No. 4: Lily!
Lily has an elegant flower shape, bright colors, and many varieties. It is a very attractive perennial bulbous flower.
How to care for it after buying it home?
Lily likes a cool environment and is relatively cold-tolerant. A room temperature of around 10°C is enough for it to get through winter smoothly.
Lily likes dryness and is not tolerant of waterlogging, so be sure not to water too frequently. If the soil is not dry, there is no need to water.
If you want to extend the flowering period of lilies, you can place them in a semi-shaded spot indoors. In addition, a slightly lower temperature can keep the flowers blooming a little longer.
Onion bulb No. 5: Gloxinia!
The last "onion bulb" is gloxinia, with dense green leaves and large, brightly colored flowers.
How to care for it after buying it home?
Gloxinia is very shade-tolerant. Even if kept indoors for a long time, it can still grow and bloom normally.
Gloxinia has a layer of fine fuzz on its leaves, which means it must not be misted, otherwise water will accumulate and cause the leaves and stems to rot.
Gloxinia is not cold-tolerant. In winter, room temperature should be maintained at around 15°C so it can keep blooming.
Don't these "onion bulbs" look pretty when they bloom?
