Is it suitable to grow lantern flowers at home (can lantern flowers be grown indoors according to Feng Shui)

Is it good to grow lantern flowers at home?

The golden bell flower is also called the "lantern flower" simply because its shape resembles a lantern and a bell, hence the two names.

The lantern flower, whose scientific name is Fuchsia, is a flower with a relatively long flowering period. Generally, the plant blooms from May every year and lasts until the Spring Festival .

Therefore, you can keep fuchsia at home in winter, which is the flowering season of flowers.

It not only has emerald green leaves, but also its flowers look like small lanterns, which are very beautiful and vivid. Keeping it at home will bring prosperity and have a very Chinese New Year feel.

Lanterns in our country usually represent peace and auspiciousness, so lanterns are hung during the Spring Festival. Therefore, from the perspective of Feng Shui, it is suitable to grow lantern flowers at home, especially during the Spring Festival, when it is more appropriate to place lantern flowers.

According to its growth characteristics of fearing the scorching sun and heat, it is very good to grow lantern flowers at home. Because home is indoors, it has better shading and cooling conditions, so it can avoid the damage of high temperature and scorching sun in summer.

In addition, the entire lantern flower plant, including the flowers, does not emit any odor and does not pose any threat to human health, so it is very good to grow at home.

Things to note when growing lantern flowers at home

① Soil

   Lantern flowers can only be grown in pots at home. If alkaline soil is used for planting, and the growth space of the flowerpot is limited, it will hinder the normal growth of the plant.

For example, the roots cannot breathe, the plants cannot be supplied with iron, etc., which eventually leads to the withering of the plants.

It is recommended to use slightly acidic soil for growing domestic lantern flowers, which can facilitate root breathing and provide sufficient iron.

② Lighting

   The second paragraph mentioned that the lantern flower is afraid of strong light, but its growth and flowering cannot be separated from sunlight. If it is placed in a dark place at home, the plant will not be able to photosynthesize in the long run, and eventually the plant will wither and die.

It is recommended that everything grows without sunlight, including lantern flowers. Only by providing sufficient soft light can the growth and flowering of plants be promoted. For example, 50% shading is required in summer, and slightly more light can be provided in other seasons.

③ Watering

   Although the lantern flower likes a moist growing environment, it is very averse to waterlogging in the soil. If it is over-watered at home, it will cause root rot in the long run.

It is recommended that indoor water evaporates slowly, and maintenance management of watering can only be carried out after the soil is dry. If the air is dry, the humidity can be increased by spraying water in the air.
