Green plants are exposed to light and photosynthesize to convert absorbed carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds. It has been determined that plants absorb less than one-tenth of the nutrients from the soil from their roots, and the vast majority come from photosynthesis. So, without light, the physiological activity of flowers will stop.
First, let's talk about the lighting characteristics of the suite. The light varies greatly from one location to the next.
There are differences between south and north, indoor and outdoor balconies, outside the glass and inside the glass. Choose the right placement for your flowers.
Multi-light area. Balconies and patios are all areas of light, where we can place some flower-based moonflowers, pomegranates, rhododendrons, chrysanthemums, and foliage-based pines and cypresses.
Medium light zone. The south window and the room on the south side belong to the mid-light area. In this area, you can place some plants that love the sun and tolerate shade, such as iron trees, boxwoods, evergreens, ivy, etc.
Low-light areas. Shaded and east-facing rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, etc., are all low-light areas. In these places, you can put some shade-loving flowers, such as monstera, pothos, bamboo cypress, happy tree, palm bamboo, bamboo, junzi orchid, etc.
The second point is to summarize the sun-loving flowers and yin-loving flowers.
Positive flowers. This type of class needs plenty of sunlight to grow and blossom and bear fruit properly. It mainly includes annual and biennial herbaceous flowers, perennial herbaceous flowers, most bulbous flowers (except cyclamen, etc.) and many woody flowers, such as Milan, calendula, yueji, cactus, purple jasmine, goldenrod, snapdragon, cactus, half lily, water lily, violet, morning glory, caryophyllus, tuberose, lotus, anchovy, agave, peony, jasmine, rose, pomegranate, canna, pansy, a bunch of red, fragrant round, fig, wax plum, plum blossom, cycad, cosmos, impatiens, Coniferous flowers such as cherry blossoms, hollandaise chrysanthemums, kumquats, hollyhocks, oleanders, variegated woods, and five-needle pines.
Feminine flowers. Such flowers can also grow well in the shade environment, and do not require much light, but their vitality is not weaker than that of sunny flowers. This kind of flowers mainly includes most of the foliage plants, such as one-leaf orchid, bamboo cypress, monstera, star anise golden plate, rich bamboo, Guangdong evergreen, fortune tree, fruit taro, alocasia, palm bamboo, pothos, ivy, zebra arrowroot, white powder vine, evergreen, white crane taro, hanging bamboo plum, flower-leaf arrowroot, flower-leaf evergreen, bamboo, kidney Tibet, peacock wood, ruby philidyl taro, pocket coconut, clematis fern, asparagus, etc., as well as the leaf leathery thicker Junzi orchid and other mostly shade-tolerant flowers.
Therefore, before we cultivate flowers, we must understand the light requirements of flowers, and then choose a suitable location for flower growth. When raising flowers, if they are not placed properly, put the light-loving plants in the low-light area, it will inevitably grow poorly, the branches will be slender and sparse, the leaves will become large and thin, the growth will be thin, and the flowers will not bloom when it is serious. Shade-loving flowers, if placed in a sunny place, will have withered or scorched leaves.
OK, check that your flowers are in the right place?
