Maintenance and watering skills of flower bonsai in summer

Some flowers bonsai are in full bloom in summer, while others are dormant. So let's get this straight. General watering, basin soil temperature and water temperature should be kept the same or similar, such as basin soil temperature and water temperature difference is too big, can not be poured. Water in summer should be watered when the water temperature is the same as or close to the soil temperature and air temperature. Most succulent plants enter the dormancy period in summer and should be moved to places where there is no direct sunlight for maintenance and water control.

1. Do not water at high temperature

High temperature watering, it is necessary to grasp the water temperature and soil temperature and air temperature is the same or similar before watering. Never water it between noon and 4 p.m. Because the temperature is too high, it will cause the root system to rupture and damage and die. Watering is recommended before 9: 00 a.m. and after 7: 00 p.m.

2. Spray moisturizing

The temperature is high in summer and the moisture evaporates quickly. Don't just irrigate the pot soil and ignore the branches and leaves. High temperature exposure leaves are easy to dehydrate, so in summer, it is recommended to spray branches and leaves to moisturize and retain water in the morning and evening. The best way to moisturize the leaves is to spray.

3. Keep the basin soil slightly moist

Summer high temperature, do not follow the conventional dry and wet, do not water, if you wait for the basin soil to dry and then water, then the root system sunburn, leaves will dry and fall, so to keep the basin soil slightly moist, but not stagnant water, stagnant water will rot the roots. The size, depth and quality of the basin should be combined. Potted plants with small and shallow pots are watered more often. Potted plants with large and deep pots will be watered less times. The water permeability of the soil basin is good, evaporation is fast, and watering times should be more. Stone basin, glaze basin and plastic basin, the basin wall is impervious, poor water permeability, watering times should be less, the amount of water should also be smaller.

4. Flowering bonsai with less spray

For flowering potted plants, such as triangular plum, hibiscus flower, etc., mainly irrigate the pot soil, supplemented by spray. Spray as little as possible into the flowers, which can easily lead to falling flowers and buds, affecting the ornamental nature of bonsai.

5. Apply appropriate amount of fertilizer when watering

The weather is hot, and plants also need an appropriate amount of nutrients. But dormant plants should be watered less and not fertilized. Like acid triangular plum bonsai, jasmine potted plants, watering can be mixed with potassium dihydrogen phosphate to promote flowering, but also to avoid watering the potted soil is too hardened and impermeable.

6. Proper shading

If the continuous high temperature is above 32 degrees and it is not raining, it is still necessary to build a sunshade cloth properly, or move it to a shady place for maintenance.
