Having a few potted plants on the balcony at home can make our home look beautiful, full of the ambiance of nature, warm and comfortable. Summer is approaching, and the temperature is gradually rising, with very strong sunlight. Some succulent plant flower pot arrangements need to start shading and sun protection. So, if you want to grow some flowers on the balcony with strong sunlight, you can choose some potted flowers that do not require shading. This way, even in the hot summer, there will be beautiful blooming flowers.
There is a kind of flower that, although common, has bright colors and a very long blooming period. It does not fear sun exposure; the more it is exposed to the sun, the more vibrant its flowers become. It is the Dianthus flower, which is very worth growing on the balcony and can be planted through cutting propagation or seeding, with a simple planting method.
First, How to Propagate Dianthus
If you want to grow Dianthus flowers, you can plant and propagate them through cutting or seeding. The cutting time can be chosen in early spring, March or April, and May is also suitable for cutting, as long as the temperature is maintained at about 20 degrees. Generally, roots can grow 20 days after cutting. If seeds are used for sowing, the germination and growth rate is relatively fast, and it usually takes one to two months to bloom.
Choose some young lateral branches for cutting propagation of Dianthus flowers, directly break off the branches without using scissors, insert them into the sand, with a cutting depth of about two centimeters. After cutting, spray water in time to maintain a certain humidity. This speeds up root growth and improves survival rates.
Second, How to Make Dianthus Flowers Bloom More and Have a Longer Blooming Period
1. Timely Pinching
First of all, in order to make it bloom more, we need to make it have more branches and grow more lateral branches. To make it branch out more, the first thing to do is to pinch the top. When Dianthus grows to have more than five pairs of leaves, it can be pinched.
Keep five pairs of leaves, and after the lateral branches grow out, pinch again. After this pinching process, each Dianthus plant will grow about fifteen lateral branches. With more branches, there will be more flower buds, and the plant will have an elegant shape, with colorful and beautiful flowers.
2. Give Dianthus Flower Pots More Sunlight
Dianthus flowers like plenty of sunlight and cannot be grown in shaded areas. In places with insufficient sunlight, it is appropriate to provide some shade in the summer. For potted Dianthus, you can often supplement with some fertilizers, such as cake fertilizer or other organic fertilizers, as well as compound fertilizers.
When watering Dianthus, be careful that, except for frequent watering in the summer, it does not require frequent watering. It is afraid of积水 and waterlogging, so do not water too much. If it is planted in the ground, just water it in the summer. A flower that can be propagated by cutting or seeding, grows on the balcony for 200 days, with abundant and colorful flowers!
