What flowers are suitable for beginners? Three fragrant potted plants recommended
If you grow a pot of fragrant fresh flowers at home, it can make people feel happy. If you take good care of the flowers, it can also make the whole home feel differently pleasant. Let's take a look at the fresh flowers suitable for beginners to grow. These three flowers are fragrant and very suitable for the general public to grow.
1. Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides)
The delicate fragrance of gardenia is the scent of first love. Downstairs from the dormitory, she held a gardenia in her hand while waiting. So why mention it first? It is to say goodbye once more to a past feeling. Choosing the path of flowers without hesitation back then made me lose a lot, but it also made me calmer when facing things. The fragrance of gardenia is very light. I usually put it on the balcony, and it drifts into the room with the wind.
There are some things to pay attention to when planting gardenia. Let me mention them now too. First, it needs to be grown in acidic soil. Second, it can be watered a bit more, because gardenia likes a moist environment. Besides normal watering, you can also mist around the leaves, which can increase air humidity. Place it in a shaded spot on the balcony and do not let it receive direct sunlight.
2. Jasmine (Jasminum sambac)
Jasmine has always been a symbol of purity and holiness. Jasmine flowers have a rich fragrance, and the blooms are gorgeous without losing elegance. Jasmine tea tastes mellow and sweet, and also has the effects of clearing heat and reducing internal heat, as well as beautifying the skin. Especially in summer, when the climate is dry and stuffy, it is easy to get internal heat. If you have internal heat, you can brew a cup of jasmine tea to reduce it, and the effect is very obvious.
For growing jasmine, we should let it receive plenty of sunlight, because jasmine is a sun-loving flower and grows very quickly in the sun. During the day, we can put it on the balcony, as long as there is light. The potting soil should not be too compact. Loosening the soil regularly is good for jasmine's growth. When watering, be sure to water thoroughly. It is just right when the water level in the saucer is level. To maintain jasmine's flowering period and keep it looking good, just prune it frequently in summer.
3. Mint (Mentha)
Everyone is familiar with mint. One sniff makes people feel relaxed and refreshed, and the effect is excellent in summer. It is also edible and has the effects of refreshing the mind and improving eyesight. In addition, mint can also be used in cooking and drinks. When cooking, adding two mint leaves can make the dish taste fresher. In summer, using mint in a cold drink is simply refreshing, all the way to the throat with a cool and refreshing feeling.
Mint needs plenty of sunlight, and we usually put it in the sun. It needs loose soil and likes moisture, so water it often to keep the soil moist. Usually, cut more leaves to brew tea, because the more mint is cut, the more lush it grows, so there is no need to worry at all that it will not grow.
