As soon as spring arrives, everyone can't wait to add some vitality to their homes. Today, I'd like to share with you several must-have herbaceous flowers for indoor cultivation in spring. They not only have high aesthetic value but are also easy to maintain.

Marguerite

Marguerite is renowned for its large number of flowers and long flowering period. From March to June, it keeps blooming continuously. Its flowers are small and lovely, and come in a wide variety of colors. Whether it's potted on the balcony to add color to daily home life or planted in the garden to create a spectacular scene of blooming flowers, Marguerite can handle it with ease.

Pelargonium

Pelargonium has a strong resistance to diseases and pests and blooms frequently. As long as the temperature is suitable, it can keep blooming. Pelargonium is tough and easy to grow. The upright type of pelargonium stands gracefully, and the trailing type sways charmingly. The flower colors can be either bright or delicate, meeting different aesthetic needs. However, it's relatively difficult for pelargonium to survive the summer in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions. To save trouble, many flower enthusiasts choose to plant it in the ground in spring. This not only saves the effort of watering but also allows them to enjoy the beautiful flowers in spring.

Chrysanthemum paludosum

Chrysanthemum paludosum is both cold-resistant and heat-resistant. It can safely overwinter when planted outdoors in winter. Although its condition is not optimal in summer, it can still tenaciously survive the summer, and it keeps blooming continuously in spring and autumn. Planting it in various corners of the garden or potting it and placing it around can add a unique touch of freshness to the garden. Placing Chrysanthemum paludosum in a semi-shaded area can help it maintain a better state in summer without affecting its blooming in spring and autumn.

Ranunculus asiaticus

Ranunculus asiaticus, also known as Persian buttercup, has become the "beauty representative" in the world of herbaceous flowers in spring due to its extremely high aesthetic value. Its flowers are layered, delicate, and very eye-catching, with high ornamental value. In addition to being planted for viewing, Ranunculus asiaticus is also very suitable as a cut flower for vases, adding a romantic atmosphere to the indoor environment. Although Ranunculus asiaticus only blooms from March to April every year, because of its outstanding appearance, many flower enthusiasts can't resist getting one and planting it on the balcony to quietly appreciate its unique beauty.

Helichrysum bracteatum

Helichrysum bracteatum has an elegant plant shape. When it blooms in groups, it looks like a brocade of flowers, and its flowering period is extremely long, lasting from March to June. Its flowers have a unique papery texture, and the single flower has a long blooming period. The flowers close on rainy days and open leisurely on sunny days, which is full of fun. Helichrysum bracteatum is not only suitable for viewing but also for use as a cut flower in vases. After air-drying it to make dried flowers, you can preserve this beauty for a long time. When maintaining Helichrysum bracteatum, for potted plants, pay attention to keeping good ventilation, let the plants get more sunlight, and water them in a timely manner, and then you can enjoy its beauty every day.

Gerbera jamesonii

Gerbera jamesonii has an extremely long flowering period. When the temperature is suitable, it can bloom throughout the year. A single flower can keep blooming for more than ten days, and new flowers keep emerging. Gerbera jamesonii is often used as a fresh cut flower. Its flowers are large, and the diameter of some varieties can reach more than ten centimeters. The flower colors are very ethereal. Whether it's potted or planted in the ground, it can show its unique charm. For potted Gerbera jamesonii, the frequency of watering needs to be increased in summer, and for plants planted in the ground, shade them when exposed to intense sunlight to create a suitable growth environment for them.
