Today, let's explore how to choose and care for the beautiful flowers that bloom at home during the harvest season in October.
First of all, let's start with the flower friends in the south. Imagine that you push open the window and a cool autumn breeze blows in your face. In such a climate, your balcony may be just right for raising a pot of cold orchids. This plant is not only beautiful, but it is also not difficult to maintain. All you need to do is put it outside, observe the potting soil, and water it when it is dry. However, if you are in the northern part of the country, the weather will slowly get cold, and when the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius, Hanlan will need to move into a heating room. Remember, spraying the leaves with water in the morning and evening to increase the humidity of the air is key, which will promote healthier foliage. And on this quiet autumn night, do you want a little color to decorate your room? This plant is small, prefers cooler climates, and can even bloom all year round in a suitable environment. You don't have to worry about not having a balcony, pansies grow well indoors. October is its peak flowering season, and after buying it home, you only need to put it in the twilight and water and fertilize it moderately, and you can continue to enjoy its flowers. Next, let's take a look at the crab claw orchid.
Although it belongs to the cactus family, it is completely different from other cacti, with soft branches and thornless leaves, unique shapes and fresh colors. If you want to decorate your interior elegantly and stylishly, crab claw orchid is a good choice. Its maintenance is not complicated, just put the potted plant in a place with half a day, pay attention to the soil after it is dry before watering, apply compound fertilizer every half a month, and soon you can see its lush branches and leaves and full of buds. When it comes to traditional Chinese flowers, chrysanthemums are naturally the best of them. There are many kinds of chrysanthemums, and there are many kinds of flower colors, and they have always been very ornamental flowers. Autumn and winter are the peak blooming seasons, and most varieties are still in bud stage when they are bought home in October. Chrysanthemums are relatively simple to maintain, no special fertilization is required, as long as the soil is thoroughly dried, watered appropriately, and placed in a place with a little sunlight, you can wait for them to bloom. Now, do you have a bit of autumn on your balcony? but, wait, we seem to have forgotten something – how to make sure these plants grow healthy and bloom at their best. For Hanlan, the maintenance methods that flower lovers in the north and south need to pay attention to are very different.
Flower lovers in the south are relatively simple, just pay attention to watering and humidity. Flower lovers in the north, on the other hand, need to pay extra attention to the temperature changes, move the plants indoors once the temperature drops to a critical point, and ensure the humidity of the heating room. Although African violet and crab claw orchid are different, they both have one thing in common, and that is that they both prefer a cool environment. So, it doesn't matter if you have a large balcony or a large patio in your home, both flowers will be able to thrive as long as you can provide a low-temperature environment with a little light. Finally, with chrysanthemums, you probably don't need much skill, just do two things: the right amount of water and the right amount of light. Even beginners can raise beautiful chrysanthemums. By now, you're probably ready to try it out and head to the florist to buy your favorite plants. Before that, though, there are a few more tips you need to know. For example, when buying, pay attention to whether the plant is healthy and whether the root system is developed. After returning home, in addition to watering and fertilizing in accordance with the maintenance requirements, it is also necessary to regularly check whether there are pests and diseases and deal with them in time.
