We are both growing flowers, but others have flowers blooming every day. Why?

Maintenance methods

1. In early spring, the plant can be exposed to direct sunlight. From April to October, it needs to be kept under full-day shade. A little sunlight in the morning and evening can make the flowers bloom better.

2. Apply thin fertilizers frequently during the growing season in spring and autumn. Nitrogen-containing fertilizers can be applied twice a month during the growing season, and decomposed cake fertilizers can be used. Applying more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering can promote flowering.

3. Wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

4. If you want to promote flowering, you need to pinch the top of the plant to allow it to grow more side branches. You can pinch the top of the plant when it grows to 15 cm. Remember to pick off the remaining flowers after they fade, which can also promote branching and allow the plant to produce new flower buds.

Bougainvillea

Flowering period: October to early June of the following year

Bougainvillea, also known as bougainvillea, has a particularly long flowering period and can continue to bloom for about 9 months. It is a must-have ornamental flower in the home.

1. Bougainvillea particularly likes sunlight. The potted bougainvillea at home must be placed in a sunny place, such as a south balcony or windowsill, so that the flowers of the bougainvillea can be bright.

2. It is particularly drought-resistant and can be raised without any problem even by lazy people, as long as there is no water accumulation in the soil in the pot.

3. Due to the long flowering period, a lot of fertilizer is needed. Nitrogen-containing fertilizers can be applied once every 10-15 days during the growth period, such as bean cake fertilizer or poultry and livestock manure fertilizer, etc. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added during the flowering period, and compound fertilizers should be applied once after the flowering period.

4. It grows very fast and can be pruned about twice a year. Once in March and April, and the other time in late autumn before the bougainvillea is brought indoors.

Catharanthus roseus

Maintenance methods

1. Catharanthus roseus likes sunlight. Its growth and flowering are inseparable from sunlight. Therefore, Catharanthus roseus must be placed in a sunny place to allow it to bloom and prevent the plant from growing too tall.

2. Catharanthus roseus is sensitive to low temperatures. It will stop growing when the temperature drops below 15℃ and will be frostbitten when the temperature drops below 5℃. Therefore, it must be kept indoors for maintenance when the weather is cold.

3. Fertilization mainly uses water-soluble fertilizers, which should be applied about once every 10 days. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the bud formation period to promote plant flowering. When the temperature is lower in winter, reduce the amount of fertilizer and apply fertilizer about once every 20 days.

4. In order to promote branching and control flowering period, it is necessary to pinch the top 1-2 times. Generally, the first pinching is done when 4-6 true leaves appear, and the second pinching is done when the new shoots grow 4-6 leaves. It is best not to pinch the top more than 3 times, otherwise it will affect the quality of flowering.

Dahlia

Flowering period: June-December

Dahlias have large, brightly colored flowers and come in many varieties. They symbolize dignity and grandeur, and imply good luck and good fortune, and are sought after by many people.

Maintenance methods

1. Dahlias like plenty of sunlight. If they are placed in a shady place for a long time, their roots will easily weaken, their leaves will become thinner, their flowers will become small and pale, or they may even fail to bloom. It is best to place them in the sun and receive full direct sunlight.

2. Dahlia has fleshy tuberous roots. If it is watered too much, the roots will easily rot. However, its leaves are relatively large and require more water. If there is a lack of water and direct sunlight, the edges of the leaves will easily dry out or even fall off. Therefore, when watering, you should follow the principle of "water thoroughly when the soil is dry".

3. When planting dahlias, choose loose, fertile soil with sufficient base fertilizer. Normally, you can apply a thin liquid fertilizer every 7-10 days. As the flowering period gradually increases, the concentration of fertilizer should be gradually increased to make the stems thick and the leaves bright green.

4. Dahlias are generally topped when the seedlings are 15 cm tall to promote more side branches and form a fuller plant shape. It has poor cold resistance. In the north, the tubers can be dug out of the soil in late autumn, dried for 2-3 days, and then stored in sand indoors.

Rose

Flowering period: May-November

The colors of roses are rich and varied, and there are also many varieties, including hybrid tea roses, floribunda roses, strong flower roses, miniature roses, etc. Its flowering period is very long, and it can bloom all year round in the south.

Maintenance methods

1. Roses like light, so ensure at least 6 hours of light a day. Also, ensure good ventilation, especially for indoor roses, otherwise they are prone to powdery mildew.

2. It blooms many times during the growing season and consumes more nutrients, so it is necessary to apply fertilizers multiple times. Generally, base fertilizer is applied once in winter, and fertilizer is applied every 10 days during the growing season, such as fully decomposed fish water, vegetable leaf juice, etc. You can also add a small amount of liquid fertilizer when watering to promote bright flowering.

3. Roses are prone to powdery mildew and black spot disease, so they need to be sprayed with pesticides in a timely manner.

4. Roses should be pruned in time. The first pruning is after the first flowering. The remaining flowers should be cut off in time to allow the plant to concentrate nutrients and sprout new branches. Keep 4-5 buds on stronger branches, 2-3 buds on medium-developed branches, and only 1-2 buds on weaker branches. The pruning cut should be 0.5cm above the bud. If it is too high, it will affect the appearance.

Verbena

Flowering period: May-November

The plant of Verbena is short and dense, and the flowers are rich and bright in color. The colors include white, red, blue, pink, etc. They bloom in clusters, making them very suitable for growing in the courtyard or on the balcony.

Maintenance methods

1. Verbena should be kept in shaded conditions in spring, summer and autumn to avoid direct sunlight. If it is exposed to direct sunlight for too long, the leaves will become smaller.

2. The root system of petunia is relatively shallow. If you water it too much, the stems will become thin and leggy, the amount of flowering will decrease, and lack of water will lead to poor development. When watering, you cannot pour water from top to bottom. It is best to use the immersion method. Put 3-4cm of water in the pot and then immerse the pot.

3. When fertilizing petunia, follow the principle of applying thin fertilizers frequently, in small amounts and at frequent intervals. After fertilizing, make sure the leaves and flowers are in a dry state.

4. When the seedlings grow to about 10cm, pinch off the top to promote the sprouting of new branches. Basically, prune once every two months and prune branches with old and yellow leaves to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption.

In addition to the above, flowers with long flowering periods include

There are also sunflowers, geraniums, kalanchoe and so on.
