Modern people like to plant some flowers and plants at home, which not only cultivates self-cultivation, cultivates emotions, but also purifies indoor air. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of breeding technology, new varieties have been introduced on the market, and people are no longer limited to common flower varieties, but also began to try some new varieties of flowers and plants. Today I will introduce you to 4 new varieties of flowers, which are niche but extremely good-looking, and the price is not expensive, and it is very simple to maintain, and lazy flower friends can easily raise them.
Theresa fragrant tea dishes
Trisa is a small perennial shrub in the genus Coriander of the family Lamiaceae, native to South Africa. Because it has only been introduced to China in recent years, the name is not very uniform, and some people call it Mona lavender, Teresa lavender and so on.
Because it belongs to the same family as peppermint, the leaves of Trisa tea are somewhat similar to mint leaves, with thick green and shiny leaves, and many ravines on the leaf surface. Trisa tea is not lavender, but it is often mistaken for lavender because it can produce dark purple flowers, the flower shape is long, the petals are spread at the top of the tube, the petals are spotted, the edges are also wavy, the flowers are very large, and they are quite similar to lavender from a distance.
Trisa teapota grows quickly, has few pests and diseases, is usually easy to care for, and has excellent flowering. In addition to the hot summer and cold winter when it does not bloom, it blooms continuously in spring and autumn. Although its flowers are not fragrant, the leaves can emit a faint fragrance, and smelling them can have a refreshing effect.
Vine bellflower
Many novice flower friends leave messages to let the editor recommend plants suitable for balcony planting, can climb vines to make flower walls or flower trellises, generally I will recommend them vine bellflowers.
Vine bellflower, also known as weeping bellflower, lantern wind chime, red heart spitting gold, etc., belongs to the evergreen soft woody vine-like shrub plant of the genus Mallow family. It is native to Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay before being introduced to the mainland. Strictly speaking, it has been introduced to the mainland for a long time, but in recent years, it has been gradually understood by flower friends with the Internet.
Vine bellflower, as its name suggests, this plant can grow slender and soft branches, the leaves are heart-shaped, the leaves are bright green and shiny, and the edges of the leaves are jagged, which is very suitable for climbing flower walls, pergolas, or as hanging ornamentation. After the branches of the vine bellflower grow up, they will pull out slender peduncles from the leaf axils, and bloom bright red flowers at the top of the peduncles, and after the red petals are opened, there is also a layer of bright yellow petals inside, like small lanterns hanging on the branches, very chic, and the ornamental value is extremely high.
Vine bellflower grows fast, loves flowering, and is easy to maintain, the only thing to note is that it is more sensitive to temperature. Vine bellflowers are particularly intolerant of cold, and if the temperature is below 10 degrees, they will turn yellow and fall leaves, and if the temperature is below 5 degrees for a long time, they will be frostbitten and freeze to death. Remember to keep warm in winter, move the pot to a warm room, and keep the wintering temperature above 8 degrees. If the temperature can be maintained above 15 degrees, it can also bloom in winter.
Golden spring feathers
Green spring feather potted plants are often sold in the flower market, and many florists are familiar with it. Golden spring feathers belong to a new variety of spring feathers, its leaf shape is similar to ordinary spring feathers, but the leaf color is a rare golden yellow, looking like huge golden feathers, looking noble and gorgeous, but not losing agility.
In terms of conservation, golden spring feathers are not much different from traditional spring feathers. It grows fast, likes semi-shade environment, usually as long as watering, occasionally fertilizing every month, it is easy to grow beautiful and large leaves.
An important reason for recommending Golden Spring Feather is that its price is not expensive. Many leaf-changing foliage plants on the market are very expensive, such as ordinary monstera for dozens of dollars a pot, but yin and yang monstera with white brocade spots cost two or three hundred yuan a plant. Relatively speaking, a pot of golden spring feathers only costs ten to twenty yuan, not only has high appearance, it is not difficult to maintain, and the cost performance is really high.
Mexican Iron Tree
Mexican iron tree, also called Mexican anchovia, South American cycad, broad-leaved cycad. It is a plant of the genus Zemiferin in the Zemiiron family. At first glance, the Mexican Iron Tree resembles the Common Iron Tree, with a thick trunk covered with phosphorus bark, but if you look closely, you will find the uniqueness of the Mexican Iron Tree. The leaves of the common iron tree are relatively thin and the leaves are slender, while the leaves of the Mexican iron tree are very broad, fleshy and fat, and the ornamental value is better.
In terms of conservation, Mexican iron trees are as easy to maintain as ordinary iron trees. In many areas of the south, there will be potted or ground-grown iron trees in front of government offices, and open-air planting will not affect them. Both hardy and drought-tolerant, as long as it is not less than 2 degrees in winter, it can survive, potted plants try to choose loose and fertile, well-drained soil, and pay attention to maintaining environmental ventilation in summer.
