Today I introduce a little beauty in the grass and flower world: the beauty cherry blossom. Beauty cherry is a perennial herb of the genus Euphorbia in the family Verbenaiaceae, native to South America. The inflorescence of the beauty cherry is a radial flower spike that blooms first at the outermost point, and gradually the whole flower spike opens up, like a beautiful small flower ball. There are also polychromatic varieties, the outer circle is pale pink, and the inner ring is dark pink, forming a chic garland, very cute. The flowering period of the beautiful cherry blossom is very long, and in the north it can last from spring to late autumn, and if the light and temperature are suitable, the flowers can continue to bloom all year round!
Beauty cherry blossom is an extremely light-loving grass flower, suitable for all-day sunshine maintenance, is one of the few grass flower varieties that can still bloom in the middle of summer, not only potted, but also suitable for flower beds, flower landscapes and other landscape plants. Insufficient sunshine will not only be long, but also easy to breed germs and insect pests, so it must be maintained in a place with good light and ventilation.
The root system of the beauty cherry is shallow, and the potting soil is guaranteed to be loose and breathable; in the growth period, we must pay attention to timely replenishment of water to prevent drought; the flowering of plants consumes a lot of nutrients, and the beautiful cherry blossoms are very frequent flowers and long flowering plants, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer regularly to supplement the nutrients needed for plant growth, so that the pop-up can continue.
The beautiful cherry stalks are creeping and growing, coupled with the shallow root system, can be planted as a ground cover plant, if potted, it is suitable to choose a short and fat type of pot. Beauty cherry blossoms are mainly propagated by cuttings, and the seeding rate is said to be not high, so interested flower lovers can try it.
