Many plants feel good in
sunrooms and thrive there, even during the cold season.
Should you be looking
for plants for your Brisbane sunrooms, you can choose from a wide range. You
must select them according to the temperature that prevails in your sunrooms.
There are more suitable plants for incredible sunrooms and plants that like it
better in warm tones.
Plants
for the unheated sunrooms
If you don't heat your
sunroom at all, you should equip it with plants that are as frost-hardy as
possible, which can get by with very low temperatures in winter.
The
following plants are excellent choices:
Olive
trees: You should only water an olive tree occasionally. Always allow
the soil to dry between watering. It feels very comfortable in the Brisbane sunrooms because of the cold months' use of its high light requirement.
Camellias:
The camellia is also a hardy flower that feels comfortable in an unheated,
fabulous sunroom.
Dwarf
Palms: The dwarf palm is one of the smallest hardy palm species. Your
substrate should never dry out completely, even in winter, but neither does it
tolerate water-logging. In winter you should reduce the amount of water you
give.
Ivy:
You should also water ivy regularly with water at room temperature. You can
also provide him with some liquid fertilizer every two weeks in the spring and
summer months. In winter, you can stop the fertilizer application or minimize
it to every eight weeks.
By the
way: An alternative to the completely unheated sunrooms is the
frost-free one. This is minimally heated and accordingly has a temperature of
at least five degrees Celsius, even in winter. Lemon and orange trees, acacias,
yucca palms, and various succulents are suitable as winter plants for this variant.
Plants
for the heated Brisbane sunrooms
As its name suggests, it
is warm all year round in the heated sunroom. You can set up plants here that
can get by with higher temperatures, even in winter.
It well suits the
following types for this:
Orchids: Orchids
are the ideal candidate for heated Brisbane sunrooms.
Banana trees: The banana
tree needs sufficient space: it must not bump into anything. Otherwise, its
leaves could tear. It would be best if you kept the substrate of this well
moist but not cause water-logging.
Bromeliads: The
bromeliad is an easy-care plant that likes to be moist during the summer. In
winter, on the other hand, you should only give her a little water. Tip: It is
best to water with rainwater. Calcareous tap water leaves subtle stains on the
leaves.
Flamingo
flowers: The flamingo flower likes it light,
warm, and protected from drafts. In the Brisbane sunrooms, look for a place for
the plant without direct sunlight. For them, too, rainwater is better suited to
watering than tap water.
If you do not want to
keep your sunroom heated continuously to room temperature, you can only temper
it slightly and keep it around 10 degrees Celsius. This applies especially to
the winter months.
