What Flowers to Plant in Autumn
The editor introduces the best flowers to plant in autumn and recommendations for flower cultivation in autumn, as follows:
The autumn climate is warm and suitable, with gentle and weak sunlight, which is ideal for plants to be exposed to for extended periods. Autumn is the season of harvest, and many plants mature and bloom in this season. However, the arrival of autumn also means that temperatures will gradually drop, and many flowering plants will wither due to intolerance to low temperatures and cold. Jasmine, Chinese roses, devil's ivy, osmanthus, and chrysanthemums are very suitable for planting in autumn. The following is a specific introduction.
1. Jasmine
Jasmine prefers a warm growing environment, with a temperature of 20-25 degrees Celsius being most suitable; it likes sunlight but should avoid direct sunlight, requiring more than 8 hours of sunlight daily; the soil should be kept moist but avoid waterlogging that can cause root rot. The autumn temperature is suitable, the sunlight is not intense, and the precipitation also meets the growth requirements of jasmine.
2. Chinese Roses
Chinese roses enjoy sunlight but cannot tolerate too strong direct sunlight, requiring about 5 hours of sunlight daily; they grow well in a warm environment of 18-20 degrees Celsius; they do not require much water, just keeping the soil moist when watering. The appropriate precipitation in autumn does not cause waterlogging and root rot in the pots of Chinese roses, and the gentle sunlight will not burn the leaves of the flowers, making them suitable for planting in autumn.
3. Devil's Ivy
Devil's ivy is a potted plant with a very strong air purification ability and can be kept as a decorative plant at home. Cultivating devil's ivy in autumn is an excellent choice. When growing, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to turn yellow and may severely burn them; too little or too much watering can lead to root rot.
4. Osmanthus
Osmanthus prefers to grow in a warm and comfortable environment and is usually planted in early autumn, blooming by late autumn. When growing, it is necessary to choose a loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Water thoroughly after planting and then water again when the soil turns white; apply a light fertilizer once a month and regularly loosen the soil to keep it loose.
5. Chrysanthemum
As one of China's top ten famous flowers, chrysanthemums not only have a high ornamental value but also significant medicinal value. Growing in cooler climates is more conducive to seed germination and can speed up growth, so they are generally planted in autumn. During the planting process, sufficient fertilizer is needed, and watering and loosening the soil are required after each fertilization; during the growth peak, it is necessary to trim the tender buds to promote better plant growth.
