Five taboos for summer potted plants

1. Avoid fertilization. High temperature in midsummer, leaf water loss faster, fertilization at this time will make the pile cell solution concentration is less than the external environment concentration, resulting in plant cell moisture reverse soil flow, pile body due to fertilizer damage water loss and death.

Second, avoid drought. Think of watering, do not think of watering, sometimes a few days in a row regardless of, once the leaves wilted, only rapid hydration, leaf surface will return to normal, this is a reaction of the pile body to adapt to the environment, but long-term so, too strong transpiration will eventually make the pile body serious illness difficult to recover dehydration and death.

Third, avoid water damage. Some people think that frequent watering in high temperature period is beneficial to pile growth. In fact, the soil humidity in the basin is too high, the root system is in an oxygen-free respiration state for a long time, and the pile root system absorbs water, inorganic salts and minerals, and is finally flooded to death.

4. Death Day Burning. When the ambient temperature exceeds 28℃, the potted plant should be shaded, otherwise, the water obtained by the pile from the soil is far less than the water lost due to transpiration. The light one is burned and scorched, and the heavy one is burned and severely damaged.

5. Avoid sudden yin. Under normal circumstances, in order to avoid high temperature damage, when the ambient temperature exceeds the maximum temperature limit of the pile body, the bonsai should be moved to a low temperature area with weak light, about 2℃ lower, so as to facilitate the growth of the pile body, but if it is suddenly moved indoors or in a lower temperature area, after a few days, the leaves will naturally fall off, and the stumps will wither and die.
