What is the best flower to keep alive and bright?

Anyone who makes a direct recommendation without distinguishing between indoor and outdoor is a hooligan!

Although the questioner did not say where to keep. But according to most urban families do not have a yard. I come to recommend a wave of closed conditions can also bloom in the closed conditions, super-long standby small strong plants.

Don't even get me started on moonflowers, hydrangeas, and clematis. These are garden plants that don't perform well indoors. Balconies with relatively ideal lighting and ventilation can barely grow them, but they're not for novices and have trouble re-flowering the second year.

And don't mention any petunias, gladioli, or perennials. People will think you're passing them back from the municipal green belt. Besides, you're used to seeing them on the side of the road, so wouldn't it be nice to have something else at home?

Ball root I actually do not recommend, first of all, they have a short flowering period, the rest of the time the face value is worrying quite cold, talk about bright? Secondly, most bulbs can only bloom indoors for one season, so if you want to re-bloom, you'll have to do it outdoors.

Excluding these, my recommendation is as follows:

Geranium

Nicknamed "closed balcony angel". Several advantages make it a very good fight:

1, rich varieties, color, type of flowers to let the difficult to choose the certificate crazy.

2, super shade-tolerant, indoor light can be raised to bloom, put the balcony is better.

3, long flowering period, many varieties as long as the temperature is suitable, flowering throughout the year.

4, easy to reproduce, easy to cuttings survive, suitable for copy and paste to give away.
