You don’t have to grow any flowers in spring, except for these 6 kinds, you’ll lose out a lot if you don’t grow them!

NO1: Gardenia

Reason 1: Flower fragrance

Gardenia has rich flowers and a fragrant scent. Whether you place a pot of it in the living room or study, the white flowers and emerald green leaves are particularly attractive! Moreover, when the gardenia flowers have not fully opened, you can pick them and put them in clean water to make tea, or cook them into porridge or scrambled eggs. The taste is great!

How to care for newly bought gardenia?

1. The newly bought gardenias often wilt due to low humidity. At this time, we need to increase the air humidity in the home. We can use scissors to trim off the dead branches and leaves, and then put them in a plastic bag to keep them warm and moist to increase the air humidity.

2. For the gardenia you just bought home, don’t change the pot for the time being. Trim the flower buds with multiple heads, leaving only the strong ones. Then place the whole gardenia in a large bucket of water. Put ferrous sulfate the size of a rice grain in the bucket to soak the pot.

How to make gardenia bloom more?

When there are flower buds, don't spray water on the leaves. Wait until the seedling stage is over, then they will start to grow leaves and bloom! At this time, you can poke a hole on the side of the pot, bury the compound fertilizer in the pot, and then irrigate the roots with 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to encourage the gardenia to bloom more!

NO2: Fortune Tree

Huahua recommends: rolling in money and bringing in wealth

Regardless of whether the family runs a business or not, most flower lovers will grow a money tree to seek good luck and fortune. Whether it is placed in the entrance hall, at a 45° wealth position in the living room, or even with a hundred-dollar bill at the bottom of the pot, it is a good choice!

How to care for the money tree?

1. Although the money tree is shade-tolerant, spring is the time when it grows rapidly. It is best to give it sufficient light so that it can grow vigorously. It can be placed on the south balcony or south windowsill, or even in a bright place indoors.

2. The roots of the money tree are shallow, and it is particularly easy to rot if there is water accumulation. In spring, water it about once every 5-7 days. When watering, you can dissolve 1-2 grains of compound fertilizer and throw them into the water to supplement nutrients for the money tree.

How to propagate the money tree?

1. When pruning the money tree, if there are any pruned branches, you can choose the stronger ones for cuttings. Each branch should be trimmed to a length of 8-15cm.

2. If you want the money tree to take root quickly, you can put it directly into the water for hydroponics. The temperature is high in spring, and it will take about 15-20 days to take root!

3. If you have sand or vermiculite at home, you can also directly insert the branches into the sand or vermiculite for cuttings, and the rooting speed is also very fast! After it takes root, you will get a new money tree!

NO3: Pothos

Huahua recommends: absorb formaldehyde and make indoor air cleaner

Every time when decorating a new house, many people will put a few pots of green ivy, hoping that they can absorb the formaldehyde generated by the decoration. Not only that, green ivy has a very strong vitality and can grow vigorously even if the light at home is not good. It is really a must-have in the home!

How to care for green radish?

1. In spring, the green ivy grows very vigorously. You can place the green ivy in a well-lit place indoors, such as a south balcony or a brightly lit living room. It is best to hang it high so that the branches can hang down more easily to form a waterfall!

2. Usually water the green radish with some homemade rice water, or directly water the green radish with the replaced fish tank water. This will provide the green radish with enough nutrients, so that the leaves of the green radish will grow bigger and bigger, even bigger than the palm!

How to propagate green radish?

1. Select strong branches from the mother plant of green radish, cut them off, and then trim them into small sections of about 5-8 cm in length. Soak them in a solution of carbendazim for 20-40 minutes to sterilize and disinfect them, and finally dry the wounds.

2. Prepare loose and breathable soil, insert the green radish branches into the soil, water them thoroughly once, and place them in a cool and ventilated place. The temperature is high in spring, and it only takes about 20 days for the cuttings to take root!

NO4: Rose

Recommended reason: Flowers bloom every month, so that your home will bloom all year round

Rose, rose, just from the name you can tell that rose seems to be blooming all year round, so if you want your home to have flowers blooming all year round, then hurry up and grow a pot of roses!

How to care for roses?

1. Spring is the time when roses sprout and bloom, so you must pay attention to watering. Water them about once every 5-7 days, and water them thoroughly. Then place the roses on the south balcony or south windowsill for maintenance, which will make the roses bloom more!

2. Whether it is daily pruning or pruning after flowering, it is essential for roses. Especially when the first batch of flowers has faded, be sure to cut off the remaining flowers in time to reduce nutrient consumption and promote more flowering next time!

How do roses bloom every month?

1. If you want roses to bloom all year round, flower fertilizer is essential. If it is a potted rose, you can dry the leftover bone residue and then crush it, then mix it directly with the potting soil, or poke a hole on the edge of the pot and bury the bone meal in it. These can supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and encourage the rose to bloom more.

2. If the roses are planted in the ground, you can go to the seafood market to ask for some fish intestines. Dig a big hole 5-10cm away from the rose roots, and then bury the fish intestines directly in it. Let the fish intestines slowly release phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in the soil, so that the roses will bloom more and more!

NO5: Mosquito repellent grass

Huahua recommends: There are many mosquitoes in spring and summer, and the mosquito repellent effect is great

Although it is not summer yet, Huahua recommends that everyone take precautions in advance by growing a pot of mosquito repellent grass at home. The higher the temperature, the faster the smell of the mosquito repellent grass will dissipate, and all mosquitoes will be driven away!

How to maintain mosquito repellent grass?

1. The sun is not very strong in spring, so you can place mosquito repellent grass on the south balcony to allow it to receive sufficient sunlight. When summer comes, you can provide appropriate shade at noon to avoid leaf burns.

2. Normally, wait until the soil in the pot feels dry before watering to avoid water accumulation and root rot. Apply a thin layer of well-rotted liquid fertilizer once every 10 days to make the mosquito repellent grass grow more vigorously and the effect of repelling mosquitoes will be stronger!

How to reproduce mosquito repellent grass?

1. Mosquito repellent grass is mainly propagated by cuttings. Usually, pick a strong stem and throw it directly into water to take root, or insert it into loose and breathable soil, and it will take about a month to take root!

2. When the mosquito repellent grass has 40 leaves, its mosquito repellent effect is the best, and the range is about 15 square meters. If it is cut and inserted many times, the smell of the mosquito repellent grass will become weaker and weaker, and eventually it will have no mosquito repellent effect.

No. 6: Succulent plants

Huahua recommended reason: high appearance, simple maintenance

Many of Huahua’s friends are growing succulents. After all, chubby succulents are very cute, and they don’t require much effort to grow well, making them perfect for lazy people!

How to care for succulents?

1. Most succulents like to bask in the sun. The more sun they get, the brighter their colors will be. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is best to place it on the south balcony or south windowsill at home.

2. Water the succulents about once every 7-10 days in spring, and water them again when the soil in the pot becomes dry. If you want the succulents to grow more vigorously, you can dissolve 1-2 grains of compound fertilizer in water every month, and then use it directly on the succulents.

How to propagate succulents?

Most succulents are propagated by leaf cuttings.

1. Prepare loose and breathable soil, place the plucked succulent leaves directly on the soil, and place the pot together with the succulents in a cool and ventilated place.
