Why do so many people grow leaves instead of flowers?

Colorful pineapple

Everyone must have seen ornamental pineapples frequently, but colorful-leaf pineapples are not often seen. In fact, many players now prefer this kind of pineapple, which has many colors and higher ornamental value. Moreover, the leaf color will change in different seasons and environments, which is very charming.

1. Colorful bromeliads prefer warm, humid and sunny environments. Only under bright light conditions can they bloom normally and obtain the most beautiful leaves. They can be placed in a living room with good lighting or on a balcony or windowsill.

2. The suitable growth temperature is 20-30℃ in summer and 15-18℃ in winter. It is difficult to grow below 10℃, and the minimum temperature at night should be kept at 5℃.

3. The soil should be neutral or slightly acidic sandy loam mixed with leaf mold or peat soil.

Colored Caladium

When Chang Huahua saw the colorful caladium for the first time, she thought it was so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful! This color combination is so bright and eye-catching!

1. Colored caladium prefers high temperature, high humidity and semi-shady environment, avoid direct sunlight. If the temperature is below 18 degrees, the growth will be slow.

February to September is its vigorous growth period, and it needs to be given sufficient sunlight and fertilizer. In addition to normal watering in midsummer, you should also spray the leaves 1-2 times to maintain humidity.

Purple Bamboo Plum

The flowers and leaves of Purple Bamboo Plum are all purple, and the branches are either drooping or creeping, which has a very high ornamental value. It’s very eye-catching to grow a pot of it at home and hang it by the window!

1. Purple bamboo plum is very easy to propagate by cuttings. Like warm and humid environment,

2. It has no strict requirements on light, but avoids exposure to the sun. It is not cold-resistant and cannot overwinter in the open in northern regions.

3. Purple bamboo plum is generally propagated by cuttings. Cut 5-8 cm branches and embed them into the soil, where they can easily take root.

Alum root

The most special thing about alum root is its leaves, which are colorful, red, orange, yellow and green, and the color of its leaves changes in different seasons, environments and temperatures. Especially in autumn, the colors are particularly beautiful.

1. Alum root is a perennial perennial flower that has just been introduced into China in recent years for use in greening. It is cold-resistant, likes sun and tolerates shade, but avoids direct sunlight in summer.

2. Temperature has little effect on it, and it won’t freeze to death even in winter;

3. Regarding watering, water when the soil is dry and wet when the soil is wet. In summer, you can control the water level moderately to avoid root rot.

Net-grass

Some new varieties of spiderwort have been bred in recent years. The pink and red colors are particularly eye-catching. The spiderwort that Huahua wants to buy most is the girlish pink spiderwort in the picture above.

1. The main method of propagation of spiderwort is cuttings, which is most suitable when the temperature is slightly higher from May to September.

2. The growth temperature of spiderwort is 18-25℃. It has poor cold resistance and will be damaged by frost or even die if the temperature is below 10℃.

3. Net-veined spiderwort does not like particularly strong light and is relatively shade-tolerant, but it cannot be completely without light. It is best to place it on a south-facing windowsill.

Trachelospermum variegatum

Trachelospermum is an evergreen woody vine with brightly colored flowers and a strong nature. It is a commonly used greening vegetation, but it is also a good choice to keep it as a potted plant at home.

1. Variegated Trachelospermum is suitable for surviving in well-drained acidic and neutral soil environments, and is drought- and cold-resistant.

2. To obtain bright colors, good lighting conditions are necessary.

3. Trachelospermum variegatede can be propagated by cuttings in any season of the year, and the rooting rate in spring and autumn can reach more than 98%.

Golden Trachelospermum

Golden Trachelospermum, also known as Golden Brocade Trachelospermum, Golden Leaf Trachelospermum, etc., is native to Japan and is a variant of Asian Trachelospermum.

After exposure to light, the leaf color can change to bright red, pure white, golden yellow, bronze, orange-red, etc. The maintenance method is the same as that of variegated ivy, so I won’t go into details!

Cordyline

The Cordyceps has a beautiful shape, gorgeous and elegant colors, and is very ornamental. Moreover, Cordyceps is also a medicinal plant, and its flowers, leaves and roots can all be used as medicine.

1. Cordyline prefers hot and humid climate. It is a semi-shade plant and can be grown indoors. Some families will cut off its branches and grow them in water, which is very beautiful.
