Good fortune and good luck: grow these 10 flowers for the New Year!
Guzmania
Meaning: great fortune in the New Year, much luck and great prosperity!
Care tips:
1. Guzmania is a flower in the Bromeliaceae family and relatively likes moisture. Usually you can spray water on the leaves and around the edge of the pot more often, and keep it in a place at home with indirect light.
2. The watering method for Guzmania is rather special: water should be poured into the "leaf cup," that is, the base of each leaf. If the leaf cup often has water in it, Guzmania can grow more lush and lively.
Money Tree
Meaning: attracting wealth and blessings, prosperity in fortune!
Care tips:
1. The money tree likes a loose environment with excellent drainage. When watering in winter, be careful and absolutely do not let water accumulate. Watering about 1 to 2 times a month is enough.
2. When repotting, you can mix some expanded clay pebbles into the bottom of the pot. This helps drain water faster, so the money tree is less likely to have root rot.
Radermachera
Meaning: family harmony, happiness and contentment!
Care tips:
1. Radermachera likes a moist environment, but its roots fear waterlogging. A large Radermachera only needs watering once a month; watering too much may cause leaf drop.
2. Winter weather is dry, so pay more attention to ventilation. Usually every 2 to 3 days, spray water on the Radermachera leaves and around it, and give it more sun.
Kalanchoe
Meaning: health and longevity, peace and joy!
Care tips:
1. Kalanchoe likes to grow in a place with plenty of sunlight. In winter, be careful to water less; watering 2 to 3 times a month is enough.
2. If Kalanchoe does not grow flower buds, or has few buds, you can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves before flowering, which will promote blooming.
Peace Lily
Meaning: smooth sailing, smooth work!
Care tips:
1. Peace lily likes a warm and humid growing environment. In winter, spray water on the leaves more often, and it can be kept in semi-shady places such as the living room or an east-facing balcony.
2. Peace lily is a flower that relatively likes fertilizer, so you can apply dilute liquid fertilizer once a month.
Ardisia (Golden Ten Thousand Taels)
Meaning: bringing in wealth and treasure, prosperity and festivity!
Care tips:
1. Ardisia fears cold and likes warmth and humidity. Usually spray water more on the leaves and around the flower pot to maintain humidity, and at the same time pay attention to keeping it warm.
2. Ardisia cannot be exposed to strong sun, so it is best to keep it in a semi-shady environment such as the living room or an east-facing balcony, not on a south-facing balcony with too strong light.
ZZ Plant
Meaning: wealth rolling in, pots and bowls full!
Care tips:
1. ZZ plant fears cold and also fears waterlogging. In winter, pay attention to warmth measures, and when the temperature is below 5°C, cover it with a plastic bag to keep it warm. When the weather is cold, you can water less and spray water around the leaves more to prevent root rot.
2. ZZ plant is a flower that relatively likes fertilizer. You can use 3 to 5 grains of urea each time mixed into the watering water, once a month, and the ZZ plant will grow more vigorously.
Cinnamomum kotoense
Meaning: turning danger into safety, safety wherever you go!
Care tips:
1. Cinnamomum kotoense likes breathable soil. When repotting, you can mix some river sand into the soil. After watering, promptly empty the water in the saucer to avoid waterlogging damaging the roots.
2. Cinnamomum kotoense has a relatively tall plant shape and relatively large leaves, so it also has a high demand for fertilizer. During the growing season, you can use cake fertilizer once a month to supplement nitrogen and make the plant grow more vigorously!
Phalaenopsis
Meaning: elegant and noble, gentle and refined!
Care tips:
1. Phalaenopsis likes warmth and grows best at around 15°C; it is easier for it to bloom at around 18°C. After winter begins, pay attention to keeping Phalaenopsis warm.
2. Phalaenopsis likes fertilizer, and you can apply compound fertilizer 1 to 2 times a month. Be careful not to make the concentration too strong. If flower buds have already grown, stop fertilizing.
Lucky Bamboo (Fortune Bamboo)
Meaning: rising step by step, bamboo bringing peace!
Care tips:
1. The biggest weakness of lucky bamboo in winter is that it is not cold-tolerant. If the temperature at home is below 10°C, you can wrap the vase with old clothes to keep the lucky bamboo warm.
2. For hydroponic lucky bamboo in winter, reduce the frequency of changing the water; changing it once every 15 to 20 days is enough. Be careful to sun the tap water in advance until it is about room temperature before pouring it into the vase.
