The flowers my grandma grows in her hometown in the countryside are grown so thriving even though she never takes care of them!

Rain orchid

Zephyranthes is a general term for chive orchid and leek orchid, and there is a big difference between them. The leaves of chive orchid are flat like leeks, while the leaves of leek orchid are tube-shaped like scallions.

When planting allium orchids, just ensure sufficient light and they are very easy to grow.

Zephyranthes

Chives

Cockscomb

Cockscomb, when viewed from a distance, looks like a cockscomb, bright red, and feels very tactile when you touch it with your hand. The seeds will grow wherever they are sown and will grow well in any kind of soil. You don’t need to water it every day. It is very drought-resistant and an essential oxygen killer for flower growing.

Zinnia

Zinnia is also called "step by step" in Huahua's hometown because each flower is taller than the other when it blooms.

When cultivating in potting soil, you can mix leaf mold, river sand, perlite and peat evenly. Ensure sufficient light during the growing period and water when the soil is dry and wet. If you have a yard, you can just sow it there and it will grow into a large patch.

Kochia

In rural areas, it is also called broom grass. Broom grass is green in summer and turns yellow and red in autumn. It is very ornamental. The most important thing is that it can be made into brooms, which is cheap and affordable.

In summer, you must pay attention to watering, otherwise it will easily cause the leaves to wilt, and the light must be sufficient.

Mirabilis jalapa

The Mirabilis jalapa flower is also called the landmine flower. This is because after its flowers fade, the fruit looks like a small landmine. When we were young, many boys used it as bullets in toy guns.

Mirabilis jalapa flowers bloom in the evening, which is when people start cooking, so they are also called cooking flowers.

It is now the peak flowering season for Mirabilis jalapa. Do you have one in pot?

  Impatiens

Impatiens is also called henna. If you have used it to dye your nails when you were a child, please raise your hands~

Impatiens likes an environment with sufficient light. When planted in potted plants, do not water them too much because they have fleshy stems and will easily rot if they are watered too much.

Hollyhock

Hollyhock is also a plant that blooms in summer. It blooms in clusters at a time. The colors are very bright, giving people a fresh and natural feeling. It can be planted in corners or beside fences, giving people a gentle feeling.

When Huahua was a child, she planted a row of these flowers by the wall. They are so beautiful when they bloom in the summer. The most important thing is that you only have to plant them once and you can enjoy the flowers every year.

Canna

People who have lived in rural areas must be familiar with cannas. They come in red and yellow colors, and are very bright when they bloom, with very high ornamental value.

Canna is not very demanding on the soil and can grow well in any soil. It is completely fine even if you have never grown flowers before, just grow them with confidence!
