These 6 kinds of flowers are not afraid of sun exposure and bloom a lot.
Today, I will introduce the related experience of planting these 6 kinds of flowers that are not afraid of sun exposure and bloom a lot. Next, a comprehensive introduction will follow.
In yesterday's article, I introduced the technique of making Catharanthus roseus bloom in abundance. Many flower friends asked, besides Catharanthus roseus, what other flowers are suitable for growing in summer? After all, summer is too hot, and many flowers really can't resist the fierce sun. So today, I will recommend several kinds of flowers that are not afraid of sun exposure and love to bloom.
1. Hibiscus: Speaking of plants that are suitable for summer cultivation and love to bloom, hibiscus naturally comes to mind. Hibiscus is also known as China rose. It prefers a warm environment and has a long blooming period. As long as the temperature is appropriate, it can bloom all year round.
Hibiscus is a woody flower and is very suitable for both courtyard and balcony potted plants.
Key points for hibiscus cultivation:
Hibiscus prefers a warm environment and requires ample sunlight. It is not afraid of sun exposure and should maintain sufficient sunlight throughout the year. In winter, attention should be paid to keeping warm, as temperatures below 0 degrees can easily cause frost damage.
Hibiscus is very easy to grow and is a relatively tough variety of flowers. However, hibiscus generally has poor natural branching, so attention should be paid to topping regularly during cultivation to promote the growth of lateral branches.
The more branches, the more hibiscus will bloom, and it is easier to achieve abundant blooming. Hibiscus has a large number of flowers. Although the blooming period of a single flower is only one day, it can bloom every day, so it requires more fertilization and watering, and needs to be fertilized frequently.
Enough base fertilizer should be added when potting, and during the period of vigorous growth, a rapid-effect water-soluble fertilizer should be applied every 7 days.
2. Michelia: Michelia is also a favorite in summer. Its small flowers resemble millet grains, hence the name. Michelia is very fragrant, and having a pot on the balcony can fill the room with fragrance.
Key points for Michelia cultivation:
The most important aspect of Michelia cultivation is full sun. It must be provided with ample sunlight, as sufficient light is necessary for Michelia to grow vigorously and bloom a lot.
Michelia prefers warmth and is not cold-resistant. Allowing Michelia to receive sufficient sunlight in summer can make its fragrance more intense. In winter, attention should be paid to keeping warm and maintaining a temperature above 5 degrees to prevent frost damage.
