Garden three treasures, like people like very much, do not like the flower friends near and far, but the fame is not low, speaking of, everyone may know, that is: moon flowers, hydrangeas and clematis. However, although their three flowers are called the Three Treasures of the Garden, some favorite flower friends have made a ranking for them, and the moon season has always occupied the top position. However, in a recent ranking selection, the moon flower unexpectedly handed over the top position, from the original second hydrangea to the top position.
Trade a look, I feel very surprised, in fact, think about it, and think it is inevitable, you know, although the variety of monthly flowers now changes very fast, but the sense of surprise when it first met is no longer there. It's like the best thing, once you see more, it doesn't feel strange. However, the shortcomings that were originally hidden have been infinitely magnified, so there are many flower friends who abandon the moon flowers in the pit, although there are still new flower friends entering the pit, but the heat is really not as good as in previous years.
First, the reason why the monthly flowers handed over the top of the list
1, too many pests and diseases
This is one of the reasons that restrict the monthly flowers from continuing to occupy the top spot. The moon flowers spend almost all year round on the way to illness or illness. Moreover, as long as there is a slight negligence, the disease and pest outbreak, looking at the "ugly look" in front of you, really want to cut the root directly. Whether you are planting vines on the ground or potting micro-moons, there are constant pests and diseases, such as red spiders, thrips, aphids, white powder, black spots, etc., basically every week to spray prevention, otherwise it is out of control.
This is the common idea of flower lovers who have raised the moon season, if your home is only some potted monthly season, then, you are still happy, if you have a small courtyard at home, the wall of the small courtyard is full of vines in the moon, when you see the disease and insect pest, you really want to cry without tears when you hold the spray bucket. Some flower lovers have said, where you say so exaggerated, as long as the ventilation and light are good, diseases and insect pests can heal themselves, yes, this is possible. But this involves another job, and that is pruning.
2, the amount of trimming is too large
There is a small courtyard at home, and the small courtyard has planted vines this month, mentioning that pruning may be a headache, my friend spends money every year to invite a few greeners to come to the house to specifically prune the monthly season, pruning 2 times a year. Professional green workers have to prune all day to finish. And the pruned branches, even if they are broken, bundled into bundles, the cleaners in the community are not willing to collect, and they have to plug a little benefit to deal with it. If you have vines at home, you know that this is normal operation.
The vine has a strong ability to germinate this season, and if you want the vine at home to bloom more this month, you have to germinate more branches, more branches, more flowers, but after flowering, pruning will have a headache. Then don't prune, what about him, in fact, I really haven't met a flower friend who can insist on pruning after N years of flowering, not that I don't want to repair, but the workload is too much. However, if you do not prune, the leaves are too dense, the branches are too chaotic, directly causing the plant itself to be impermeable, even if the environment is well ventilated, pests and diseases will still occur from time to time.
3. The month is not resistant to sun
Don't say that the moon flowers are sun-resistant, that is just an example, in fact, most of the monthly flowers are not sun-resistant. Especially in some scented moon seasons, a large sun comes down and either disperses, or is like a rag, or does not flower buds. If the moon flowers are raised in a shaded environment, they will not bloom in vain. And the light is strong, it is not resistant to sun, so easy to flower, a few suns, it will destroy all the flowers. This is also a lot of monthly flowers that are known as 4 seasons of flowering, in fact, it is to see spring flowers and autumn flowers, summer is really not a good time to appreciate the moon flowers.
Moreover, even if it is possible to carry out proper shading, such as shading 50% with a shading net, some potted plants can bloom and appreciate normally in the summer, but the vines planted on the ground this month, this shade net is pulled and cannot be covered. This is also the reason why many flower lovers in the moon season are ready or have already come out of the pit. There are too many things, in addition to some flower friends who really like the moon season, people who do not abandon the moon season flowers, many flower friends have abandoned the moon season, and naturally handed over the top position.
Second, the reason why hydrangeas are in place
1. Flowers are blooming
Enjoy the hydrangeas, especially when watching the hydrangeas planted in the yard, really feel the flowers are blooming, the flowers are huge, the small flowers are dense, it is very comfortable to look at, with the development of horticultural technology, the varieties and colors of the hydrangeas are also more and more, the flowering period is becoming longer and longer, can bloom from spring to autumn, especially the endless summer that new and old branches can bloom, it is even more addictive.
2. Unknown color
The flowers of hydrangeas will change color due to changes in soil pH, that is, the same hydrangea flower, this year is pink, may be blue next year, and even the same flower, there are pink flowers, blue flowers, and purple flowers. It is so magical, among all the flowers and plants, it seems that only the hydrangeas are like this, and you only know what color this year's hydrangeas are at the moment when the flowers bloom.
Therefore, there is also a color grading technology, that is, to change the pH of the hydrangea soil, to artificially color grading, and control the hydrangea flowers to bloom the desired color. But this is also a certain failure rate, for example, the timing of color grading is not right, too early or too late, or after the coloring, the pH of the soil has changed because it is not known, etc., there will be color grading failures.
3. There are no pests and diseases
Saying that there are no diseases and insect pests, may be a bit exaggerated, but hydrangeas are very rarely diseased and pested, pot culture, almost no pests and diseases, ground planting group planting, may be because of neglect of maintenance, diseases and insect pests, such as powdery mildew in autumn, root rot in summer, etc., but as long as it is dealt with in time, basically do not need too much attention.
4, like to rain
In fact, hydrangeas especially like to rain, more rain has great benefits for hydrangeas, the flowers that bloom are also particularly fond of rain, will not appear to wither but more colorful, which is exactly the opposite of the moon flowers. I believe that many flower lovers choose hydrangeas and give up the moon flowers, there are also reasons for this!
5. The king in the shade of the tree
Hydrangeas are not resistant to sun, many flower friends feel that this is its shortcoming, in fact, it is not, personally feel, but it is an advantage, the small courtyard planting flowers, what is the main thing? The main thing is those flowers that like light and ventilation, but instead of the corners of those small courtyards, under the shade of these lack of light environment, there are not many varieties of flowers that can be selected, and hydrangeas just make up for this, just by virtue of this, hydrangeas are the most beautiful boys in the garden.
Epilogue:
As for clematis, the current sense of existence is really not very high, although the variety is also more and more, but there are very few large-scale planting places in China, I hope that in the future it can surpass the moon season and hydrangeas and become the boss of the three treasures in the garden. Well, I'm a little expensive, I see this, give a one-click three consecutive go!
