What potted plants have a fragrance?
A little bit of life knowledge, introducing which potted plants have a fragrance and the related knowledge of listing four fragrant and easy-to-care-for potted green plants. Below, the editor will provide you with a detailed explanation.
After a long time of growing flowers, one often no longer feels satisfied with ordinary varieties of plants and starts to take a special interest in potted landscapes. Actually, growing potted landscapes doesn't necessarily require a lot of money. As long as we choose the right variety, spend more patience on care and pruning regularly, some affordable plants can also be grown into beautiful potted landscapes.
Today, I will introduce four plants that can emit fragrance, with small and delicate shapes, branches that are very resistant to pruning and grow into old stumps, making them very suitable for keeping as potted landscapes at home. Placed in the living room, study, balcony, and other places, you can often smell the fragrance, enhancing the style of the environment.
Fragrant Pine
Fragrant Pine has been a very popular small green potted plant in recent years. Its scientific name is actually Fragrant Cypress, belonging to a type of mini Cypress. Because the branches and leaves have the fragrance of pine wood, it has been named "Fragrant Pine."
Fragrant Pine grows very slowly and has a small crown. The leaves are tender and green, making it particularly suitable for pruning into shapes like pagodas or rounds, and can be maintained for decades without any issues. The leaves of Fragrant Pine can emit a faint fragrance without being touched, with a very refreshing scent that is harmless to humans and has the function of purifying the air and repelling insects. Therefore, Fragrant Pine rarely has pests and is very easy to care for.
Care Tips
The leaves of Fragrant Pine are a嫩 green color that changes with the light. Although it is very shade-tolerant and can be grown in a semi-shaded environment, it is still best to place it in a well-lit environment to make the leaf color more vibrant. Apart from needing some shading in the summer, it is best to keep it in full sun during other seasons, so the leaves can maintain a yellow-green color all year round.
Small Leaf Gardenia
What potted plants have a fragrance?
I believe everyone is familiar with the Gardenia variety, but most of the ones we see in the flower market are large-leaf Gardenias, which are tall, have many branches, and produce larger flowers. However, there is also a type of small-leaf Gardenia in the Gardenia family. It is smaller, the flowers are not large, but it can bloom all year round and can be cultivated as a potted landscape.
Small-leaf Gardenias come in single-petal and double-petal varieties, with the single-petal variety being more resistant. In southern regions, they are even used as green belt plants. Compared to large-leaf Gardenias, small-leaf Gardenias have softer branches, making them easier to prune and shape. The branches easily age into old stumps, making them very suitable for creating potted landscape trees.
Care Tips
Small-leaf Gardenias are a plant that blooms on new branches, which means that any new branches grown in the current year can basically bloom. To make small-leaf Gardenias bloom continuously throughout the year, frequent pruning is required to cut back long branches and remove too thin and dense ones, allowing the plant to keep growing new branches. After new branches grow, applying some flowering fertilizer promptly will soon result in flower buds appearing at the branch tips and blooming.
