What season is suitable for planting wind chime flowers?
In comparison with the common content of green plant flower planting about when and how to plant wind chime flowers which is suitable for most people, the specific details are as follows: Recently, when visiting a friend's house, I saw that she bought a pot of wind chime grass. When she brought it home, it was already in full bloom. The whole plant of wind chime grass was very beautiful, with petals like little bells, and a super abundance of blooming flowers. It's hard to resist such plants with a lot of blooms, so I bought one too.
Wind chime grass is a type of flower from the south, and it is quite difficult to grow in the north. The summer temperatures in the north are very high, and wind chime grass is not heat-resistant. When the daytime temperature reaches 30 degrees, wind chime grass stops growing and can easily die from heat, as high temperatures can literally bake it. It needs shade during hot weather.
The root system of wind chime grass is relatively weak. I had never heard of this before growing it for the first time. The fragile root system has poor absorption capacity, so frequent watering is required for home care. Although the flowers are beautiful, it also requires more time. If you are a working person with a busy schedule, it's not recommended to grow it.
In summer, the flowering period of wind chime grass is only 50 days. According to my friend, wind chime grass is commonly used for flower arrangement in the south. It can be cut and placed in a vase like富贵竹 (富贵竹 is a type of lucky bamboo), and by adding a little nutrient solution to the water every week, it can bloom for about 10 days.
What season is suitable for planting wind chime flowers?
The best time to plant wind chime grass at home is in June. From June to August is the perfect period, as it can avoid the high temperatures in September. If you plant it any later, the quality of the wind chime flowers is not guaranteed. If you have the time and also love to grow flowers, you can still give it a try.
The root system of wind chime grass is similar to that of peonies, similar to a perennial root system. Perennial plants can only be planted in autumn, including the wind chime grass we buy. Do not repot it. Keep the original pot and change the pot by means of simulated planting. Do not shake off the soil on the roots, as repotting will cause the flowers to wilt quickly.
Do not place the wind chime grass near a south-facing window. Keep it a little farther away from the window, and if possible, let it be exposed to the elements. The dew in the morning can supplement some of its water needs. Wind chime grass grown indoors sometimes has difficulty controlling watering; too much water can cause root rot, and too little can cause the petals to wither and fall off.
