2. Blade spray water

Summer watering is not easy to control, you can store Rain Water, pure water or sun-dried tap water, into a spray bottle, spray water to the leaves every day, but do not spray to the heart of the leaves. The tip of the blade will be brighter after spraying water.

3. Shading at the root of the blade

Yulu is native to South Africa and grows mainly in haystacks or stone piles under shrubs. It belongs to a semi-shaded environment. Generally, only the top of the leaves, that is, the windowed parts, are exposed to light. So if you want to open the window well, you need to shade the root of the leaf and bury it slightly with large granular soil.

Yulu is easily withered in summer, and many flower friends water it indiscriminately as soon as they are in a hurry. As a result, the watering is getting worse and worse, and the roots are rotting away directly! If there is such a problem, please follow the following method to rescue immediately!

Rescue method

After the temperature rises, Yulu will gradually enter the dormant period, the leaves will shrink and wither, and the color will become darker, so the maintenance during this period is particularly critical!

Summer skills

1. Ventilation

It must be ventilated in summer, the flowing air can make Yulu resist the higher temperature, especially after watering, there is no natural wind, it is also necessary to create flowing air artificially, such as a small fan, so that the soil moisture can be reduced to a safe range as soon as possible to avoid leaf decay.

Continuous rainy days, good ventilation, to a certain extent, can reduce soil mildew caused by too much air humidity!

2. Lighting

Yulu is sensitive to light, so after 10:00 in summer, you need to pull the sunshade net, or move to the indoor scattered light, and you can't accept direct light until after 5 p.m.

3. Watering

Reduce watering in summer and water twice a month. Hot weather can wet the surface of the basin soil. Watering in the evening, immediately after watering ventilation, continuous rainy weather do not need watering, to avoid mildew and rotting roots!

4. Pest control

Yulu is easy to provoke Xiao Hefei in summer. Sprinkling a little dx white medicine in the flowerpot can play a preventive role. When Blackie flies too much, he can spray imidacloprid or acetamiprid diluted 1000 to 3000 times.
