Grow flowers. Why can't your flowers live for two years?

This is the 907th day of the original article of Blue Demon Daily.

This article was originally written by Blue Devil.

Excerpts from the series of courses "30 days, helping you transform from zero foundation to master of flower cultivation"

In yesterday's article, Lan Yao talked about herbaceous flowers, woody flowers, perennial flowers and biennial flowers.

Today, Blue Demon will specifically talk about what these represent. And the guiding significance for our flower cultivation process.

What is a grass flower?

The grass flowers we often talk about actually refer to herbaceous flowers, that is, flowers that wither and die every year on the ground. Evergreen foliage plants also belong to grass flowers, such as dripping Guanyin, tortoise shell bamboo, chlorophytum and so on.

Grass flowers can be divided into perennial flowers and biennial flowers. For example, chrysanthemum and chrysanthemum are perennial flowers, Petunia and hexaploid are biennial flowers.

What are woody flowers?

Woody flowers may not be known to many people, but if Lan Yao talks about trees, everyone will understand them easily. The simple understanding of woody flowers is that they grow like trees, with stems and roots forming xylem and branches lignified into solid plants. For example: bougainvillea, Milan, Fusang, Chinese rose and so on.

What is a biennial flower?

It can be simply understood as a flower variety with a life span of 1-2 years from sowing, growth, flowering and fruiting to aging and death. Most herbaceous flowers are biennial.

What is a perennial flower?

Flowers that can only survive for more than 2 years, woody flowers are perennial flowers.

Guiding significance:

Understanding the classification attributes of flowers can correctly predict the flowering and fruiting time and grasp the best planting opportunity.

For example, autumn is the best sowing time for biennial grass flowers. If you sow again in spring, the flowering period will often be greatly shortened or even unable to bloom.

What Blue Devils share today is the most basic knowledge of flower cultivation, but it is precisely because of the foundation that we need to firmly grasp and accurately distinguish the types of your potted plants in order to treat them correctly and raise them well.

Tomorrow Blue Demon will tell you an interesting story about raising flowers. Remember to pay attention to ilanyao if you want to hear it.
