Plants that easily outgrow their pots, maybe you have one at home

Sunflower

Portulacaceae Portulaca

Key points for growing flowers:

1. Ensure an environment with sufficient sunlight.

2. The soil requirements are not high, but sandy soil with good drainage is preferred.

3. Sunflowers like a warm climate, with a germination temperature of 21-24°C. They will germinate in about 7-10 days. The seedlings are extremely thin and weak, so if a higher temperature is maintained, the seedlings will grow very fast and form relatively thick and fleshy branches and leaves.

4. Maintain a certain humidity at ordinary times, no need to water frequently, and water thoroughly during the flowering period.

5. Apply 1/1000 potassium dihydrogen phosphate once every half a month to achieve large, colorful flowers that bloom continuously.

Petunia

Solanaceae Petunia

Key points for growing flowers:

1. Soil: Loose, fertile and well-drained sandy loam is suitable for potted petunias.

2. Water to prevent it from being too dry or too wet. Watering should be supplemented in time in summer, and drainage should be carried out in time to prevent waterlogging in the rainy season.

3. Light: It needs strong light. If it can be given more than 12 hours of light a day and the night temperature is above 10℃, it can bloom in all seasons.

4. Petunia is not frost-resistant. The suitable temperature for its growth is 13~18℃, and the winter temperature is 4~10℃. If it is lower than 4℃, the plant growth will stop. It can withstand high temperatures above 35℃ in summer.

5. In the early stage of seedling growth, thin fertilizers should be applied frequently. Fertilizers with high nitrogen and potassium content and slightly lower phosphorus content should be selected. Compound fertilizers should be applied frequently from March to April, and nitrogen fertilizers should be applied appropriately depending on the growth conditions.

Kalanchoe

Crassulaceae Kalanchoe

Key points for growing flowers:

1. The soil should be loose and fertile, with good drainage and slightly acidic.

2. Watering: During the growth period, just water thoroughly every 2 to 3 days to keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. Watering should be controlled even more when the temperature is low in winter.

3. Light: Kalanchoe likes plenty of sunlight and should be placed in a place with direct sunlight all year round.

4. Temperature: the most suitable temperature for the growth of Kalanchoe is 20-25℃. Above 30℃ or below 10℃, growth will obviously stop.

5. Fertilization: During the peak growing season, apply a thin compound liquid fertilizer every 15 to 20 days to promote healthy growth and luxuriant flowering.
