Causes and Solutions for Yellowing Leaves in Brazilian Button Flower and Other Potted Plants

Lobularia maritima (sweet alyssum)

Lobularia maritima (sweet alyssum) loves light, tolerates drought, and resists cold. Plant it in spring, it sprouts after a week, and blooms in two to three months with an enormous number of flowers that easily spill over the pot!

Use loose, breathable soil when planting, water once a week, and it is very easy to grow.

Petunia

Petunia comes in many flower colors and can bloom from April all the way to the first frost. Look at the balcony window below, it is simply stunning!

Petunia likes warmth. In spring and summer, water in the morning and evening. In the rainy season, do not let the soil get too wet, otherwise it tends to grow leggy and rot. Normally, it blooms 2~3 months after planting, so now is just the right time to plant it.

Million Bells (Calibrachoa)

Million Bells, also called "dancing spring flower", is fairly similar to petunia, with slightly smaller flowers, but they are more numerous, denser, and longer lasting, which makes it more popular.

Calibrachoa likes sun and is fairly shade tolerant. With good sunlight it branches vigorously and blooms abundantly. For watering, just water once the soil is dry.

Spanish Lavender

Spanish Lavender likes light and tolerates cold. It has a very fresh fragrance, is perfect for balcony pots, and can also be used for aromatherapy and essential oil.

The soil for growing Spanish Lavender must be loose and breathable. Never overwater it; lavender does not tolerate wetness and has no special requirements for light.

Nemesia

Nemesia has brilliant colors and loves light. Sown in spring, it sprouts in about 10 days and is suitable as a small potted plant on the balcony.

The care points are similar to the flowers mentioned above: the soil should drain and breathe well, and just place it on the balcony~

Dianthus

Dianthus is also a fairly easy flower to grow. It tolerates cold and drought, and its flowering period is May~June.

Growing Dianthus requires plenty of sunlight, a dry, ventilated, cool and moist environment, and soil that is fertile, loose, and well drained.

Brazilian Button Flower

The Brazilian Button Flower has a very stunning and fresh color. Just imagine, as summer approaches, having such a pot of small purple flowers on the balcony would keep your heart from feeling stifled.

Brazilian Button Flower likes light and needs at least 4 hours of sunlight every day. During the growing period, fertilize once every half month to help it grow faster. It is not strict about potting soil, as long as it does not cake and stays breathable.

Rosemary

Rosemary can serve as an air freshener and repel mosquitoes, and can also be used as a culinary spice. It is a very practical small potted plant, and many people like to grow a pot of it on the balcony.

Rosemary likes warmth and is fairly drought tolerant. It needs plenty of sunlight and attention to ventilation, otherwise it easily suffers from pests and diseases. The more you prune it, the more it grows. The pruned parts can be used for aromatherapy or seasoning.

Thyme

Thyme is a herb that can be used to stew lamb! It blooms in summer and autumn and can also relieve inflammation and pain!

Thyme does not tolerate dampness, so do not water too much. Just water once the soil is dry, and make sure the soil drains and breathes well.

Lemon Balm looks fairly similar to mint. It sprouts about half a month after planting, grows very fast, and is very easy to grow.
