With the arrival of autumn, October is not only a good time to enjoy beautiful scenery but also an excellent period for planting and cultivating flower pots. In this season, the temperature is moderate and the rainfall is appropriate, providing superior conditions for the growth of many flowers. Especially for beginners in flower cultivation, choosing flower pots suitable for autumn growth is particularly important. The following are three flower pots that are not only suitable for purchase in October but also easy to bloom.
Cleome spinosa
Cleome spinosa has flowers that resemble dancing butterflies and are extremely ornamental. It has various flower colors such as red, white, and purple, and has a long flowering period, which can last from summer to autumn. Cleome spinosa likes a warm, humid, and sunny environment. It has strong adaptability and is suitable for beginners to cultivate.
Cleome spinosa requires loose soil with good drainage and grows best in slightly acidic sandy soil. Avoid planting in alkaline soil to prevent poor growth. Keep the soil moist during the growth period. Water in the morning and evening in midsummer, but be careful to avoid water accumulation. At the same time, increase air humidity by sprinkling water around the plant. Cleome spinosa likes sunlight. Adequate sunlight should be provided during the growth period, which is beneficial to the growth and opening of flowers. The demand for water and fertilizer is not large. Apply organic base fertilizer before transplanting seedlings, and after survival and stability, apply light liquid fertilizer. Apply 2-3 times of thin compound liquid fertilizer during the bud gestation period to promote flowering.
Viola tricolor
Viola tricolor is a cold-resistant flower that likes a cool growth environment. Its flowers are rich in colors and consist of three colors, hence the name Viola tricolor. Autumn is a good time for planting Viola tricolor. The cool weather is conducive to the germination of seeds and the growth of seedlings.
Viola tricolor likes loose, fertile, and well-drained soil. Before planting, mix garden soil, leaf mold soil, and river sand, and add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer. Select healthy and plump seeds for sowing, cover with a thin layer of fine soil after sowing, and keep the soil moist. After the seeds germinate, remove the covering in time. Keep the soil moist during the growth period and avoid water accumulation. Fertilize regularly, mainly using nitrogen fertilizer to promote growth, and increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizer during the flowering period to promote flowering. Prune overly long, dense branches and weak, diseased, and dead branches in time.
Rudbeckia laciniata
Rudbeckia laciniata is a flower with ornamental and medicinal value. Its flowers are large and golden yellow, with bright colors and a long flowering period. Rudbeckia laciniata likes a sunny environment with good drainage and has strong adaptability.
It can be planted by direct seeding or transplanting after seedling cultivation. For direct seeding, select a suitable sowing location and soil; for transplanting after seedling cultivation, seedlings need to be cultivated in seedling boxes or pots first.
