Shade-tolerant flowers and shade-loving flowers
A bit of knowledge to share with you about the introduction of shade-tolerant flowers, shade-loving flowers, and whether shade-tolerant flowers and shade-loving flowers are the same, the details are as follows:
Many flower enthusiasts know that when taking care of flowers, we need to do a good job of watering and fertilizing, and on the other hand, we also need to learn about the habits of flowers. Only in this way can we better care for flowers at home. Recently, I received a question from a flower enthusiast in the background. Although this enthusiast has been growing flowers for many years, they still can't tell the difference between shade-tolerant flowers and shade-loving flowers. Today, I will explain this issue to you.
In fact, shade-tolerant flowers refer to those that like light but can also survive better in shaded places. This does not mean that they necessarily like shaded places. However, shade-loving flowers prefer to grow in shaded areas. There is a certain difference between the two. Here are a few examples of flowers to illustrate, let's take a look together.
1. Epipremnum aureum
Epipremnum aureum is a typical shade-tolerant flower and is relatively easy to care for. In the summer, we can place it in a cool and well-ventilated place. In winter, we need to maintain a temperature above 15℃. If choosing to grow it in soil, watering can be done once every two weeks. In winter, the frequency of watering can be reduced appropriately.
Because at low temperatures, the absorption ability of Epipremnum aureum decreases. In summer, a little water can be sprayed on its leaves. Fertilizing with nitrogenous fertilizer can make its branches and leaves more lush and green. It's also important to prune and prevent diseases and pests in time. Pruning can remove weeds in a timely manner to prevent the absorption of nutrients and prevent diseases and pests. This can reduce leaf damage, making it more ornamental.
2. Anthurium
Anthurium is a plant that likes to bloom, but many people can't grow it well because they give it too much light. It is a shade-tolerant plant, and too much light can cause its leaves to turn yellow. Therefore, when caring for Anthurium, we should choose a cool place with scattered light.
In the morning, we can give it a little light, and by noon, we need to do a certain amount of shading. When cultivating Anthurium, we can choose a smaller pot with good breathability to make its roots grow healthier. Although it likes moist soil, it should not be watered too much because its roots are thicker and have weak absorption ability.
3. Zamioculcas zamiifolia
Zamioculcas zamiifolia is a shade-loving plant that is suitable for indoor care and can also survive in places with scattered light. It has a very beautiful appearance with very shiny leaves. It should be placed in a well-ventilated area. It is a flower that likes fertilizer and needs to be fertilized once a month during its growing period. Fertilization can be stopped in winter to prevent damage from low temperatures.
4.富贵竹 (F ortune Bamboo)
Fortune Bamboo is also a very common shade-loving plant. Its leaves are as straight as bamboo, very upscale. It not only has a green and atmospheric appearance but also has the ability to purify, which can help our sleep. Placing it in the bedroom is the most suitable.
Many flower enthusiasts say that when caring for Fortune Bamboo, they often find that it has yellow leaves, which is because ventilation is not good enough. It should also be avoided to place it near many home appliances, as these appliances can emit heat, accelerate the evaporation of plant moisture, and cause leaf yellowing and leaf drop. As a shade-loving plant, we should do a good job of shading and also provide some light, while also taking care of the surrounding air circulation to make the leaves of Fortune Bamboo grow greener and more lustrous.
For these shade-tolerant and shade-loving flowers, we must pay attention to the difference when caring for them and not mix them up. Targeted care can make the flowers survive better. Flower enthusiasts, what misunderstandings should you pay attention to when growing flowers? You can leave a message for me in the comments.
The above comprehensive introduction to shade-tolerant flowers and shade-loving flowers, I hope it brings some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
