Generally speaking, flower lovers who raise potted plants hope that the money invested once can keep the plants for many years. However, different flower varieties have different lifespans. Because nature is fair, naturally beautiful flowers often have shorter lifespans. Once they wither, they can be thrown away without wasting energy on continuing to care for them. The following four kinds of flowers introduced below are all "disposable" flowers for your reference and purchase.
Zinnia
Zinnia is also called Zinnia elegans by some flower shop owners. Its flowering period can last from early summer to late autumn, lasting for about a hundred days. However, when the flowering period is over, it means it will die and it is an annual flower. If the zinnia you bought at home has withered, you can only keep its seeds and sow them again in the next spring. Otherwise, it can be thrown away at any time.
Lily
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that its meaning is very good, meaning "a harmonious union lasting a hundred years". After blooming, it not only has elegant flowers but also has a strong fragrance. Therefore, the sales of lilies in the flower market are very good. The bulb is usually planted in the soil and it only blooms once. When the branches and leaves gradually wither, it can be decisively discarded. If you want the lily to bloom again the next year, it's not impossible, but you must ensure that the bulb absorbs enough nutrition and energy and is well-nourished. However, it is usually very difficult to nourish the bulb well in indoor potted plants. It is almost a "disposable" flower.
Campanula
Campanula is a summer flower. Its flowering period can last for 2 to 3 months. The flower shape is charming and looks particularly like a wind chime, so it is also called Bellflower. It is mostly potted for cultivation. The purchase price in the flower market is about ten yuan. However, it is a disposable grass flower variety. It should be thrown away directly after blooming in the first year and bought again the next year.
Petunia
Petunia is also called Petunia hybrida. It is a climbing plant, but because of its short Petunia hybrida. It is a climbing plant, but because of its short size, it does not climb. So it is very suitable for planting on small balconies. Generally speaking, when choosing in the flower market, there are various flower colors such as black, blue, spotted, and wavy. However, although petunia is a perennial plant, its branches are prone to aging. Even veteran flower lovers only keep it for at most one year. However, after the flowers wither every winter, you can keep some seeds or take some branches to cut seedlings. The old seedlings can be thrown away.
