Guide reading

Green potted plants have become a necessary embellishment of home life. Raising some flowers and plants at home has many benefits, which can not only beautify the room, but also please the mood. "Huasheng pot diary No. 1140" will introduce you to a new type of ornamental plant.

Today's protagonist

Home in the southern city of Lingnan, adjacent to the "flower capital" Guangzhou, flower planting industry is developed, contact with all kinds of flowers and trees since childhood, individuals also prefer to "play with flowers", have a certain understanding of plants. Today, I would like to introduce a new type of potted ornamental flower, which has succulent plant-like fat and tender leaves, as well as strangely shaped flowers, beautiful flowers and leaves, which is very popular in the flower market.

Dolphin flower

This flower is called Dolphin Flower, formerly known as Cape Primrose, because when the flower is still a bud, its shape is very similar to that of dolphins, so it is named as perennial herbs of Gesneriaceae, and lipstick orchids, paulownia and other flowering plants are still close relatives, especially with long pedicels, extending in all directions, large flowers and clusters of flowers, as if a group of little blue dolphins are happily flying in mid-air, interesting and beautiful.

The florescence is very long.

The dolphin flower is one of the plants with the longest flowering period that I have ever seen. It blossoms continuously from the beginning of the seedling. When cultivated indoors (winter moves indoors, the temperature is above 17 degrees), the dolphin flower can blossom all the year round, and the blue flowers can add a lot of color to the living room. For those who are used to the red and purple flowers, this new color of Xiaoqing is still very eye-catching.

The flowers and leaves are beautiful.

Most Gesneriaceae plants have long flowering period and simple maintenance, and they are one of the most popular genera of Gesneriaceae. Many flower forums have this section. Dolphin flower vitality is extremely tenacious, solid and resistant, cutting can survive, a year can grow into a pot, cultivation is very easy, light, fertilizer and water requirements are not high, extensive maintenance and management, or even easier than green pineapple.

Indoor potted plants for ornamental quality

Dolphin flowers have not been introduced into our country for a long time, and they belong to a new type of ornamental flowers, and they are still relatively minority flowers, but all flower friends I have seen pour into the pit for it. There are two colors, blue and white, and blue is more common. When it was first introduced into our country, it was still a high-grade plant, and it was expensive. It has become a common grass, cheap, simple to maintain, and high ornamental value, so it is worth starting with.
