What are the plants suitable for long-term indoor cultivation
Today, I will elaborate for netizens on the plants suitable for long-term indoor cultivation and the ranking of the easiest-to-care-for potted plants, including the content of green plant and flower cultivation. Let's take a look together.
Flowers are liked by many flower enthusiasts because they can relieve tired bodies and minds when kept at home, they are also pleasing to the eye, and they provide a sense of closeness to nature. Therefore, many flower enthusiasts like to keep several pots of flowers in their own homes. When cultivating flowers indoors, we hope to raise some flowers that can be grown indoors all year round. There are many such flowers, and now I will recommend 4 types for you to see which one you like?
1. Geranium
Geranium, also known as the common cranesbill, is a flower with a long blooming period. Although it has a slightly unpleasant odor, it has a calming and sedative effect and is very suitable for growing on the balcony of a sunlit bedroom. Moreover, geraniums have bright colors and many varieties, giving a beautiful feeling.
Geranium care tips: Geraniums enjoy warm sunlight but are also averse to intense sun exposure, so they can be grown on a阳台 or windowsill with plenty of sunlight during the spring, autumn, and winter seasons. During the growing period, water thoroughly when the soil is dry and avoid积水 in the pot to prevent root rot.
During the growing period, geraniums can be fertilized appropriately. After the flower buds appear, apply a lot of No. 2 flowering fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate water-soluble fertilizer. After flowering pruning, apply a balanced N-P-K fertilizer to encourage reblooming.
2. Hosta
When hostas bloom, their flowers are white and large, exuding a pleasant fragrance, giving a beauty of jade bone and ice muscle. Hostas do not prefer abundant sunlight and are a very suitable flower for long-term indoor cultivation.
Hosta care tips: Hostas do not like intense sunlight; if the sunlight is too strong, the leaves can get sunburned and turn yellow, so they can be grown in a bright indoor area.
Hostas prefer a moist environment but are averse to long-term standing water, so water thoroughly when the soil turns white. In dry weather, also spray water on the leaves and around the pot. Fertilizing hostas mainly involves applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering to promote blooming, as well as applying thin, decomposed cake fertilizer water to promote growth and flowering.
3. Cyclamen
Cyclamen, also known as the "rabbit flower," has flowers that look like rabbit ears and bright colors with a long blooming period, making it very popular among flower enthusiasts. Since cyclamen's blooming period is in the autumn and winter seasons, it is very suitable for long-term indoor cultivation.
Cyclamen care tips: Cyclamen prefers a warm environment with temperatures above 15 degrees Celsius in winter and likes plenty of sunlight, so it can be grown in a sunny indoor area. If there is insufficient light, the flowers may not be as vibrant.
When watering cyclamen, especially in colder temperatures, care must be taken to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly when the leaves are drooping, and avoid standing water in the pot.
To promote flowering in cyclamen, a dilute potassium dihydrogen phosphate water-soluble fertilizer can be used.
4. Hydrangea
Hydrangea, also known as "eight immortals flower," has large and colorful flowers when in bloom, giving a magnificent feeling, especially "Endless Summer," which has a long blooming period and is also very popular among flower enthusiasts. Hydrangeas do not have high requirements for sunlight and can be grown indoors for a long time.
Hydrangea care tips: Hydrangeas prefer scattered light; if the sunlight is too intense, the branches and leaves can easily get sunburned. However, insufficient sunlight can lead to leggy growth, so they can be grown in an area with scattered indoor light.
Hydrangeas like moisture but are afraid of waterlogging and root rot, so when they are growing, water thoroughly when the soil turns white, otherwise the leaves will start to droop. Before blooming, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote flowering, prune the spent flowers after blooming, and then apply N-P-K fertilizer to promote flowering and growth. Hydrangeas also prefer slightly acidic soil and can be watered with a dilute ferrous sulfate water-soluble fertilizer every 30 days.
