Flowers have a clever way to keep cool. This operation ensures a cool summer.

Hot and hot in summer, sweaty people can quickly get into the room and shout, "my life is from the air conditioner." But by contrast, the flowers planted are so pitiful that they can only bear the unbearable heat and poisonous sunshine in silence. In previous articles, we always call on planting lovers to pay attention to sunshade and cool plants in summer, but what are the specific methods? Now let's take a look at it together.

For the secret of cooling, learn about it:

When the temperature is high in summer, the temperature of the plant itself and the surrounding environment is relatively high, so cooling is a big problem that we have to face. Since it is impossible to achieve rapid cooling through air conditioning, you might as well use the principle of water "evaporation and heat absorption" to cool the flowers. A simple water spray cooling method can be used to spray water on the branches and leaves in the basin 3-4 times a day to reduce the temperature of the leaves.

Of course, in addition to spraying water directly, we can also use the two methods of "humidifying and cooling" and "wet cooling". The former can sprinkle water on the ground around the flowerpot, which can not only cool but also increase air humidity; the latter can choose to put a piece of water-absorbing and moisturizing foam or a layer of wet sand under the flowerpot, which can reduce the temperature of the flowerpot.

To dissipate heat, don't be careless:

Cooling is on the one hand, and the already overheated flowers should be how to dissipate heat? It's actually pretty simple. Put the potted flowers in a ventilated place or next to an electric fan and use the flowing wind to dissipate heat. Of course, if your family grows drought-tolerant and heat-resistant flowers such as magnolia and tulips, then in the face of such a high temperature, you can remove the surface basin soil and let the top of the roots leak out to dissipate heat, while for potted flowers with underdeveloped roots, such as begonias, pry loose the surface and basin soil around the basin wall to let it breathe and dissipate heat.

Shade the sun, bid farewell to the poisonous sun:

The summer light is strong, especially at noon, direct sunlight is very easy to cause leaf burns, so there must be some shading measures, we can choose shading nets with different effects according to the intensity of visible light and plant habits. Generally use 50% or 70% of the shade net. In the case of no shade net, curtains and window cloths can also be used to give flowers appropriate shade from 12:00 to 5 p.m.

Put it in layers and arrange seats for the flowers:

According to the different light-loving nature of flowers, put the balcony flowers in layers. The top layer is placed with strong positive flowers, such as sunflowers, etc.; in the middle, semi-negative flowers such as orchids are placed; at the bottom, semi-dormant flowers are placed, such as calla lilies, cyclamen, and so on. The use of flower habits to create a small environment for plant growth is more suitable for closed balconies.
