Please pay attention to these points when growing flowers in hot summer.

To the hottest time of the year, the hot sun and high temperature make people can not help but go to cool places, can not help but look forward to the next second ushered in a refreshing wind and rain.

In such weather, flower friends can't help but worry about their own flowers and grass.

This time, let's sort it out:

These simple maintenance can make the flowers at home more comfortable and in a better state in the hot summer.

Cooling

Like people, summer high temperature is what flowers fear most, even the most sun-resistant cactus, can not stand the continuous sun and high temperature.

The methods of cooling can be taken as follows:

1. The effect of sunshade net is the most significant for the flowers on the balcony.

The advantage of the sunshade net is that the whole piece can block the sun, which can reduce the temperature of the whole area of the balcony and provide more professional cooling protection for plants.

In addition, the sunshade net has another advantage, which can shield the wind and rain, avoid strong wind and heavy rain, and destroy the flowers.

Sunshade networks are sold in many places on the Internet, with prices ranging from a few to dozens of yuan. Sunshade net materials are also different, flower friends generally use more knitting, durable. In terms of color, if you want a stronger shading effect, you can choose dark color, and black can not be chosen as far as possible, which will affect photosynthesis.

two。 Sprinkle water on the ground near the flowerpot. You can also spray water moderately on the leaf surface.

This method is simple and practical, which can not only reduce the temperature around the flowerpot, but also increase the air humidity.

Some flower friends are reluctant to sprinkle water on the ground because water stains are everywhere and it is very inconvenient to take care of them.

Here's a tip: lay an artificial turf mat on the bottom of the flowerpot to save a small amount of water without leaving water stains everywhere.

When you buy, you need to be careful to buy the one that doesn't leak.

3. Be careful to keep ventilated.

Summer weather, hot is not the most uncomfortable, muggy is. Ventilation becomes more important at this time.

Properly opening the windows and maintaining good ventilation can not only properly adjust the temperature, but also better maintain the carbon dioxide needed by plants and the oxygen needed by the soil.

4. If there are a lot of flowers at home, they will also have a cooling effect if they are kept together.

Many flower lovers do not know this method, but we must all have this experience: close to a large number of potted plants, there will be a cooler feeling.

If there are climbing vines at home, so much the better. With it, other green plants are like playing with a small sunumbrella.

Watering

The most important thing to pay attention to when watering the flowers in summer, the time and manner will affect the state of the flowers.

1. Avoid watering at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

If it is too hot at noon in summer, foliar transpiration will accelerate with the increase of temperature. At this time, under the action of water, the temperature of the soil and roots decreases, the absorption is slow, the balance of supply and demand of the system is broken, and the flowers and leaves will be affected soon.

A florist asked: why isn't it three o'clock and 12:00?

Because 12:00 is not the hottest time of day. The sun is strongest at 12 o'clock, but the time when the earth's surface absorbs heat and reaches its highest temperature is around 3 o'clock, and so is the basin soil in the sun.

Summer flower watering time reference:

6:00-12:00 is suitable

19:00-21:00 is suitable

14:00-17:00 hurts the most.

two。 Watering should be moderate in summer.

Most people will think that the summer temperature is high and evaporation is fast. In order to make the plants have enough water, they must be watered more.

The truth is correct, but we must grasp the degree, remember to loosen the soil, and do a good job of drainage.

The basic principle is to keep "dry and re-watered, that is, water thoroughly".

In addition, we should follow the principle of "different flowers are treated differently":

Wet plants, herbs, moderate watering

Xerophytes and woody plants can be watered less.

Irrigate more in the growing period and less in the dormant period.

3. Try to keep the flowers out of the rain.

Summer is also a rainy season, many flower friends in the cool Rain Water comes, let the flowerpot open-air rain, this is not a good habit.

Because, when it rains, the temperature drops suddenly, and the soil temperature in the flowerpot remains high. Rain Water's general temperature is much lower, so using Rain Water to directly water the flowers is as harmful as watering the flowers in the hottest days.

Fertilizer application

Flower fertilization depends on the growth, the peak season, the need for more fertilization; dormant period does not need fertilization.

When applying fertilizer in summer, we must pay attention to "applying more thin fertilizer".

The best time to fertilize in summer is to water it in the evening.
