What flowers are suitable for small pots
A small knowledge of life, introducing what flowers are suitable for small pots and the recommended flowers and plants for growing in small pots, let's take a look together.
Recently, while cleaning the house, I found many small pots, which instantly ignited my "passion" to grow some mini potted plants. They are also very beautiful when they bloom and do not take up much space!
Lily of the Valley
Lily of the Valley is a perennial bulbous plant, about 10-20 cm in height, and can be grown in a pot of 10-15 cm. Bury the bulbs in moist soil from March to April, start watering after they sprout, and they will bloom from May to July.
Lily of the Valley is shade-tolerant and suitable for a diffused light environment. Do not expose it to direct sunlight. Water when the soil is dry and keep it ventilated, otherwise, the bulbs will rot. The flowers of Lily of the Valley are delicate and symbolic of purity and kindness. After flowering, cut the flower spikes and continue to grow the leaves. The bulbs can be propagated in autumn and winter.
Buddha's Belly Tree
Recently, I saw a Buddha's Belly Tree at the flower market, which looked like a big radish planted in a small pot the size of a palm. This is a kind of Euphorbiaceae succulent shrub that does not require much space for potting, just enough to accommodate its big belly.
The Buddha's Belly Tree has few leaves, only a few pieces, which resemble figs. The flowers are red and look like coral. After the petals open, they look even more beautiful, with golden yellow pistils, very festive. Some people also call it Buddha's Belly Coral Flower.

Small Leaf Gardenia
Small Leaf Gardenia, also known as Bird's Tongue Gardenia, has very small leaves, metaphorically as small as a bird's tongue. The leaves are opposite (2 leaves) or in whorls of 3, and the flowers are single-petaled, about the size of a coat button, and can bloom in multiple seasons.
Small Leaf Gardenia is suitable for growing in a thumb pot or a pot of 15 cm or less. The smaller the pot, the more it resembles a bonsai. Some plants remain the size of a palm even after ten years of growth, with small and exquisite flowers that are very cultivate for the mind.
African Violet
If you have limited space at home and poor lighting, you can grow several African Violets, which can bloom even in places without direct sunlight and can bloom all year round. African Violets have a small growth habit, making them suitable for growing in pots with a diameter of 10 cm and do not need to be repotted for several years.
