These 8 kinds of flowers have a particularly long flowering period, so you can enjoy flowers all year round by growing one in a pot!

Begonia

Flowering period: all year round

1. Begonia does not like direct sunlight and is afraid of rain. If it is exposed to rain for a long time, the stems and leaves of Begonia are prone to rot, so shade and rain protection measures should be taken in summer.

2. High temperature and high humidity in summer are prone to breeding bacteria. Begonia is easily infected with spot bacterial disease, so ventilation should be strengthened to ensure a dry environment.

Catharanthus roseus

Flowering period: all year round

1. Catharanthus roseus likes places with sufficient light. In summer, you can place it on a south-facing balcony or outdoors.

2. Catharanthus roseus likes soil with good water permeability and air permeability. When preparing the soil, you can add some pine needles or coarse sand into the soil.

Rose

Flowering period: April to November in the north, and all year round in the south

1. In summer, you can place the roses outdoors in a well-lit place, ensuring at least 6 hours of light a day, but pay attention to shade at noon.

2. In summer, due to the high temperature and high humidity, roses are easily infected by various diseases, so you must pay attention to strengthening ventilation and properly prune the internal branches of the roses when necessary.

Dahlia

Flowering period: May-December

1. Dahlias prefer places with sufficient light. If they lack light for a long time, they will grow poorly and the flowers they bloom will be small and light in color.

2. Dahlias like a slightly moist soil environment. The leaves will wilt easily if they lack water. Drain the water in time after rain and do not let water accumulate in the soil, otherwise the dahlia bulbs will easily rot.

Kalanchoe

Flowering period: December to May of the following year

1. Kalanchoe will enter a dormant or semi-dormant period in summer. Appropriate shade should be provided at noon when the light is strong. It is best to place Kalanchoe in a semi-shaded place with sufficient scattered light.

2. Many flower lovers’ Kalanchoe plants only grow leaves but no flowers. You can use the method of keeping them in a small dark room to induce flowering. Put the Kalanchoe in a dark room after 4 p.m. every day, and move it to a sunny place after 9 a.m. the next day. After a few weeks, the Kalanchoe will grow flower buds.

Petunia

Flowering period: April to around frost

1. If you want petunias to bloom more and for longer periods of time, sufficient light is essential. It is best to place petunias outdoors or on a balcony where there is sufficient light.

2. When petunias fade, you should promptly prune the dead flowers and branches. This can not only adjust the flower shape, but also promote the growth of flower buds, preparing for the next bloom.

Sunflower

Flowering period: May-November

1. The sunflower’s love for light is one of the best in the flower world. As long as conditions permit, place it in the place with the best light, and it will surely bloom to your heart’s content!

2. Sunflowers are very drought-resistant, but in order to make them bloom, it is best to water them thoroughly after the soil in the pot has dried up. Sunflowers under plenty of water and sunshine will surely fill the pot!

Verbena

Flowering period: May-November

1. Verbena is very demanding on water. Too much water will cause root rot, and too little water will shorten the flowering period. It is best to water once a day in summer and keep the soil in the pot slightly moist.

2. After the petunias fade, they must be pruned in time. The dead flowers, dead branches, and weak branches must all be pruned away. Only by pruning ruthlessly can the petunias bloom more and longer.
