Maintenance key:

1. The growing period of Cosmos is very short. If it is sown during the Grain Rain, it will bloom in about two months.

2. When the weather is dry, watering 2-3 times a week will allow the plant to bloom well. The seeds fall off easily after they mature, so they should be collected in the early morning.

3. Transplant the cosmos seedlings when they are 5 cm tall, and plant them out when they have 7-8 leaves. During the growing season, apply 5 times the amount of decomposed cake fertilizer every 10 days. Excessive fertilization can easily lead to excessive leaf growth and reduced flowering.

Nasturtium

The leaves of nasturtium look a bit like pennywort. It mainly blooms in summer, and the flowers are particularly beautiful. It can also be used to make tea, so it is also known as "Longjing outside the Great Wall". It has a faint fragrance after brewing.

Maintenance key:

1. Sow the seeds in spring. Soak the seeds in warm water first, then use a paper towel to germinate them. Basically, they will turn white in three days, and then you can plant them in the soil.

2. When the nasturtium seedlings grow to 6-7 leaves, you can pinch and top them to make the nasturtium grow better.

3. Fertilize every 3-4 weeks during the growth period. Loosen the soil in time after fertilizing to improve soil aeration and facilitate the development of the root system.

Sunflower

The sunflower, also known as the immortal flower, is a very easy to grow flower. Basically, it only needs sunlight and does not require any careful care to grow and bloom.

Maintenance key:

1. Sunflowers grow very fast. Generally, they can germinate about 10 days after sowing and bloom soon after.

2. The flowering period of sunflowers is relatively long, usually from May to November. They usually bloom after the sun comes out and close after the sun sets.

3. During the growing period, the plant needs to be topped 2-3 times to control the height of the plant, promote multiple branches, and allow the sunflower to form a plump plant shape. Only by ensuring sufficient sunlight can the branches and leaves grow lush and the flowers bloom in large numbers.

Zinnia

Zinnia, also known as zinnia, blooms in summer, has rich colors and a long flowering period. It is a kind of grass flower that many people like to grow.

Maintenance key:

1. The sowing time of zinnia is generally around mid-to-late April. When sowing, cover it with a thin layer of soil or perlite, because zinnia is a light-avoiding flower variety.

2. Zinnias usually germinate in 7-10 days after sowing, and bloom in about 70 days.

3. Transplant the zinnia seedlings when they have 2-3 leaves, and pinch off the tops when they have 4-5 leaves to make the plant fuller.

Potted beans

The Grain Rain season is the best time to grow vegetables. If you sow a pot of vegetables on your balcony at home, you can harvest a large pot of vegetables in a few months, and you don’t even need to buy vegetables at home!

Maintenance points:

1. When planting beans on the balcony, it is best to choose vine varieties because they have a higher yield and a longer harvest period.

2. The seeds of beans are relatively large. Before sowing, they should be soaked in cold water for two days. You can also use wet paper towels to germinate them. The processed seeds can be directly sown. The distance for on-demand broadcasting should be moderate, about 10cm is best.

3. Beans like fertilizer more. Before sowing, apply enough well-rotted organic fertilizer as base fertilizer, so that there is no need to apply fertilizer before the beans bloom. During the pod-setting period, apply decomposed cake fertilizer water once a week to ensure that the beans produce more fruits.

Potted cherry tomatoes

Maintenance points:

1. Generally, it is placed on the balcony or next to a window with good lighting.

2. When watering, wait until the soil in the flowerpot turns white or the leaves begin to wilt before watering. Water thoroughly at one time, but do not water at noon.

3. In the early stage of growth, potted cherry tomatoes do not need to be fertilized before they set fruit. Fertilization should start after they set fruit, and it is mainly necessary to choose fertilizers with higher potassium content. The fertilization cycle is generally about one week.
