Summer has quietly left and autumn is approaching. Many friends who are used to raising flower and plant species are about to start a particularly busy season, which is to plant them. So why choose autumn? The reason is that the temperature in autumn is suitable. It is neither as hot as in summer nor as cold as in winter, which provides a stable growth environment for plants. Secondly, there is sufficient rainfall in autumn, which helps keep the soil moist and provides sufficient water for plant growth. At the same time, the sunlight in autumn is moderate. It is neither as strong as in summer nor as weak as in winter. This helps plants carry out photosynthesis and promotes plant growth. So what flower and plant species are suitable for planting in autumn?

The reason why it is suitable for planting in autumn is mainly because the temperature and humidity in autumn provide ideal conditions for the growth of Ranunculus asiaticus. Secondly, the sunshine time in autumn gradually decreases, which helps Ranunculus asiaticus bloom. After planting Ranunculus asiaticus, how should it be maintained? Ranunculus asiaticus is a tuberous plant, so after planting, it should be placed in a place with sufficient sunlight. Secondly, it likes a humid environment but cannot be too wet. So water it in due time. In addition, some organic fertilizers need to be applied appropriately during the growth period.

In autumn, when most plants begin to wither, Digitalis purpurea blooms in the cold wind with its tenacious vitality. If you want to bloom vigorously in the spring of the next year, Digitalis purpurea needs to be sown in September and October this autumn.
