Tired of hydrangeas and petunias? Then this article is for you.
We are talking about a flower that blooms almost all year round and produces 12 buds on a branch.
What to plant instead of hydrangeas and petunias
We will talk about abutilon. This flower is valued primarily for its beautiful and long-lasting flowering.
In some hybrid abutilons it continues until late autumn.
Another undeniable advantage of abutilon is that it can be grown both indoors and in the garden.
In warm regions, garden varieties of this flower can be grown as perennials.
Abutilon needs loose, slightly acidic and breathable soil. You can buy ready-made soil for begonias.
During the warm season, abutilon needs abundant watering; it is a moisture-loving plant.
Abutilon also likes good lighting. In winter, additional lighting may be required.
As for feeding, the best option is liquid organomineral fertilizer for flowering indoor plants.
You can alternate fertilizers: during the budding period, apply fertilizers for flowering plants, and outside the flowering period, for decorative foliage plants.
During the period of active vegetation (from mid-April to October), abutilon should be fed every three weeks, in winter - once every month and a half.
