1. golden bell flower (bellflower with veins)
Abutilon, also known as lantern flower, is a popular potted flowering shrub in tropical and subtropical regions. It can also be planted in places with heating in the north. They like warm environment all year round and are afraid of cold. In addition to the common varieties of green leaves, there is also a kind of abutilon with golden spots on its leaves.
It is inlaid with a golden bell jar.
Don't think that the leaves are yellow, they are brocade spots.
Goldenrod is a plant of the genus Abutilon, and its conservation method is basically the same as that of Abutilon (tendril-shaped bellflower) and Abutilon. To maintain these plants, we should provide them with slightly acidic loose sand with good drainage to avoid the soil being too sticky, especially when potted.
Golden bell flowers can be raised in semi-shade, but the flowering amount will be reduced. If you keep it on the balcony, try to put it in a place with more light, you can have better flowering performance. The temperature 18~28 degrees, the fastest growth. Pay attention to thin application of chemical fertilizer during the growth period, and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer after flower bud inoculation. As long as the environment is warm, it can continue to bloom.
2. camellia
In this winter and spring season, it is very worthwhile to start with a pot of camellia, which keeps blooming throughout the winter and spring season. It is suggested to start with a pot with a larger crown. Don't choose those buds with weak seedlings but full branches. Those buds are pushed out with a lot of fertilizer and water. If you can't provide them with so much nutrition later, the buds will keep falling off. Some flower lovers don't know how to take care of this kind of camellia, so they can't see the flowers in the later stage.
Don't rush to change the pot when buying potted camellia, just put it in the original pot. If planted in a simple plastic pot, put it in a beautiful pottery pot or plastic pot to watch. If there are too many buds, we should sparse the buds, leaving only one or two big and full buds in each small branch. If the plant is still weak, try to leave 3-5 full buds for each plant, and remove all the rest to ensure the supply of nutrients, otherwise it will bloom once and grow again later.
When the flowers wither, they all fall out (Japanese camellia "Toona sinensis")
Potted camellia should also pay attention to avoid alkaline soil, avoid long-term direct watering with tap water (put it in a container for two or three days before watering), and use slightly acidic soil (peat soil, humus soil or compost soil, etc.). ) When changing pots after flowering. Camellia likes enough scattered light and is afraid of strong light. Get as much sunshine as possible in winter and spring, pay attention to proper shading in summer and autumn, keep the soil dry and water thoroughly.
Daphne odora

Now the seedlings will be delayed for three to five days in a ventilated and cool place, and raised in a sunny place later. In addition to avoiding direct glare at noon and afternoon when summer is too high, more sunshine is beneficial to plant growth and flower bud propagation in winter and spring.
Daphne odora planted underground can withstand sub-zero temperatures, and Daphne odora planted in pots should pay attention to cold protection, especially in the first year. It is safer to keep the minimum temperature above 4 degrees.
Daphne odora in Phnom Penh enjoys a cool climate and grows rapidly in winter and spring, especially when the temperature is 15~25 degrees. When the temperature is high, the growth will slow down When changing pots for Daphne odora after flowering, try to choose a substrate with good air permeability and add 20%~30% coarse substrate, including coarse coconut shell, loose phosphorus or coarse sand.

However, most flower lovers can't spend the summer when the golden bell is upside down. When it is hot in summer, it will slowly wither, just because it likes cool and is afraid of heat, and it is difficult to raise it when the temperature is above 30 degrees.
