Every flower enthusiast hopes that their potted plants will bloom abundantly, but different plants have different characteristics. Some plants simply don’t like to flower, and even with decades of experience, seasoned gardeners may struggle to make them bloom. So, which plants in the flower market are easy for beginners to grow and will bloom profusely?

Baby's Breath (Gypsophila)

Baby's Breath belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. After blooming, the flowers are small and dense, often used by florists as filler flowers. Its flower language symbolizes noble and pure love.

For care, Baby's Breath is perfect for home cultivation. It prefers places with good light and ventilation, so it’s ideal to place it on the balcony. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil. As for fertilization, applying a light, frequent feed works well. When it’s blooming, use a fertilizer like "Flower More No. 2," and when it’s not blooming, "Flower More No. 1" is suitable.

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus)

Nasturtium is native to South America, with leaves shaped like a pouch and flowers in colors like yellow, orange, pink, and red. It’s perfect for a balcony, offering both beautiful foliage and flowers. Its flower language symbolizes love everywhere, though sometimes distracted, making it a romantic gift for couples in love.

For care, it prefers a mild environment and doesn't tolerate extreme cold or heat. In summer, during the hottest days, the plant will slow down its growth, so it’s best to keep it in a place with temperatures between 18–24°C. During high temperatures in the summer, water it once in the morning and once in the evening.

Geranium (Pelargonium)

Geraniums are perennial herbs native to South Africa, and they are beloved by gardeners for their abundant blooms and pleasant fragrance. Additionally, they are very easy to care for and will bloom profusely, making them perfect for beginners. Geraniums are adaptable and can bloom for 5 to 7 months.

For care, the best growth temperature is around 15–20°C, meaning they prefer a warm winter and cool summer environment. Provide them with plenty of sunlight, and water them sparingly. During their growing season, water them once every 5 to 7 days. However, they don't like too much fertilizer, so avoid over-fertilizing them.
