What kind of flowers are suitable for children to take to school
Here's a bit of life experience for today: what flowers are suitable for children to take to school and recommendations for easy-to-care-for plants that children can bring to school. Let's dive into the topic together.
The other day, a friend of mine mentioned that at school, the teacher asked the children to each bring a small, easy-to-care-for potted plant to create a plant corner for the whole class. When the children went home, they were at a loss as to what kind of potted plant would be appropriate. My friend thought long and hard but couldn't come up with anything. Plants like spider plants and pothos are too common, cacti are not safe as they can easily injure children, and something that is both easy to care for and visually appealing is needed, since children are the ones caring for them and don't know much about gardening skills.
Later, this friend came to me for help, asking me to recommend a plant that is both easy to care for and beautiful, and that would make the child's plant stand out. I immediately went to the balcony and gave my friend a pot of desert rose, saying, "Take this! Who asked me to be the child's godmother?"
Desert roses can survive without water for half a month or even a month, and they love sunlight. When they bloom, they are incredibly beautiful. If this pot of desert rose were moved to school, it would definitely draw envious glances from other children! Moreover, this plant has been cared for for three years and blooms a lot. I wouldn't feel sorry at all for giving it to the child!
My friend kept thanking me and left happily. I heard that the next day when the child took it to school, even the teachers loved it! After class, the children gathered around the desert rose to look at it. Since the desert rose is so easy to care for, I should also teach everyone how to do it. Here are the exclusive desert rose care secrets, let's learn them quickly~
What kind of flowers are suitable for children to take to school
I. Sunlight
Caring for desert roses requires plenty of strong sunlight! Sufficient sunlight is very beneficial for the plant's growth. Desert roses are plants that love light, so just place them where there is plenty of sunlight in your home.
II. Watering
Desert roses have a big belly where they can store water! They can survive without watering for a month and still be fine, but too much watering is not good. Don't be fooled by their robust appearance; their root system is actually very small, making them shallow-rooted plants. Shallow-rooted plants should not be watered too much, as excessive watering can be harmful to desert roses.
III. Fertilizing
Desert roses do not like fertilizer, but they still need basic nutrients. When fertilizing, we can do so during spring and autumn, and reduce or even stop fertilizing in summer and winter. Since desert roses are flowering plants, we can use some well-rotted organic fertilizer or phosphorus fertilizer, which is beneficial for the blooming of desert roses.
