During the Chinese New Year, it is our pursuit of a better life to make our home full of vitality and fragrance. Keeping some potted flowers at home can not only decorate the indoor space, but also bring pleasant visual and olfactory enjoyment to relatives and friends.
Share four plants and place them in the living room, the aroma is better than perfume, and I believe that flower friends with scented plants will love it.
1. Nine mile incense
Nine mile, this plant is popular for its unique fragrance. The aroma of bougainvillea is not only good, but also long-lasting. As long as you put a pot in the living room, the whole house will be filled with its unique fragrance, who raises who likes.
The maintenance of bougainvillea is not complicated. It prefers a warm environment, and the best temperature for growing is around 25. When maintaining it in winter, be careful not to let the room temperature be too low, and you can move it to a warm place such as the living room. When the bougainvillea blooms, give it plenty of light to ensure that its branches grow quickly and strongly.
Second, Phnom Penh Ruixiang
Phnom Penh Ruixiang is the city flower of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and it is also a traditional Chinese flower, comparable to peony. The leaves of Ruixiang Phnom Penh have a Phnom Penh and tough leaves, and even when they are not in bloom, they have a high ornamental value.
Phnom Penh Ruixiang has a strong aroma when it blooms, and a pot is placed in the living room, and you can smell its fragrance when you enter the house, and I personally like it. However, the disadvantage is that the indoor temperature in the north is high, and the flowering period is relatively short, so you can only enjoy the flowers for about a week, and in the south, it can bloom for about two months.
Because Phnom Penh Ruixiang is a southern plant and likes acidic soil, it is necessary to regularly irrigate ferrous sulfate or chelated iron solution to maintain the soil in an acidic state during the maintenance process. In addition, Phnom Penh Ruixiang likes a semi-shaded environment, and after flowering, try to avoid strong light exposure, which can effectively prolong the flowering period.
3. Small-leaved red sandalwood
Rosewood microphylla is a relatively high-grade bonsai. It has a beautiful plant shape, and its branches are lignified and purple-red, making it highly ornamental. The fragrance of rosewood leaves makes it one of the ideal plants in the living room.
Many people may not be familiar with the small-leaved red sandalwood and think that it is difficult to raise, but in fact, it is not difficult to maintain the small-leaved red sandalwood. It can tolerate dry and hot environments, likes fertile, well-drained soil, and is afraid of standing water, so when watering, avoid standing water at the bottom of the pot.
Rosewood microphylla is not shade tolerant and prefers sunny environments. It is only in a well-lit environment that its leaves become thicker and the shoots become thicker. This is also the key to its release of a more intense aroma.
Fourth, Milan flowers
Some flower friends asked if the nine miles and Milan flowers are the same plant, no, they are very different, the golden yellow flowers are Milan, and the white flowers of the nine miles are much larger.
Milan likes light, and the maintenance of environmental light for more than 8 hours, coupled with water control, will make Milan's floral fragrance more intense.
In addition, Milan likes loose, fertile, well-drained slightly acidic soil, you can mix an appropriate amount of decomposing fertilizer in the soil, and regularly irrigate ferrous sulfate solution to maintain the acidity of the soil, so as to ensure that Milan can grow and bloom normally.
These four plants not only bring an eye-catching greenery, but also exude an intoxicating aroma. Instead of buying expensive perfumes, keep a pot of plants at home and let the fragrance of nature permeate the space.
So, whether it's during the Chinese New Year or on weekdays, you might as well bring some of these greenery to your home. Let them bloom in the living room and add color to our lives. In such an atmosphere of life, we can better feel the beauty of nature and feel the miracle of life. Because life is meant to be like this, simple and beautiful.
