Dormant management of flowers in summer


In the hot summer, some flowers grow slowly and their metabolism is weakened, so they adapt to the summer heat by going dormant. Such as begonias, monarchs, geraniums, etc., dormant after the leaves remain green, known as evergreen dormancy; daffodils, hyacinths, cyclamen, tulips and other flowers dormant after the leaves fall light, known as deciduous dormancy. Therefore, in the summer maintenance management

In the hot summer, some flowers grow slowly and their metabolism is weakened, so they adapt to the summer heat by going dormant. Such as begonias, monarchs, geraniums, etc., dormant after the leaves remain green, known as evergreen dormancy; daffodils, hyacinths, cyclamen, tulips and other flowers dormant after the leaves fall light, known as deciduous dormancy. Therefore, in the summer maintenance management, must master the physiological habits of these flowers, careful management, in order to make these flowers smoothly and safely "sleep" through the summer. Reduce light, ventilation and coolness. After summer, dormant flowers should be placed in a ventilated and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight, and if possible, building a shade shelter. You should also spray water around the potted plants and on the ground frequently to lower the temperature and increase the humidity.

Water at the right time and control the amount of water. Summer dormant flowers do not require much water, so you should strictly control the amount of watering. The root system is weak when the flowers are dormant or semi-dormant, so if you water too much and the soil is too wet, it will easily lead to rotten roots; if you water too little, it will easily make the roots of the plant shrink, so it is appropriate to keep the soil slightly moist. Avoid rain and prevent waterlogging. Due to the rain in summer, dormant flowers are subjected to rain and water in the pot, which can easily cause the roots or balls of the plant to rot, resulting in evergreen dormant flowers falling.

Reduce nutrients and stop fertilizing. During summer dormancy, the physiological activity of the plant is reduced and consumes few nutrients, so there is no need to apply any fertilizer, otherwise it will easily cause rotten roots or rotten balls, leading to the death of the whole plant.
