Summer inflammation, many flower-loving people look to their family's weak flowers, desperate, and even on the internet there's a lamentation that “summer flowers die”. Really? Can you just watch the flowers die early in the summer? In fact, with a few tricks, you can prolong the flower season in the summer, and keep the flowers beautiful。
The trick one: the light is not as good as it gets
Many people think it's time for the sun to shine in the summer. Plants are like people of different sizes, some sunbaths, some fear uv burns. For the year 2023, data from the national meteorological centre show extreme temperatures of over 40°c over the summer, which are considered as “baking”. The sunflowers and triangular plums can be placed on the southeast balcony, but they have to avoid the direct light at 11-14 pm. You think you're happy with them? Watching the leaves is the best guide. When the leaves are tanned, it's a distress signal. It is a good time for them to be able to keep the sunproof without affecting the light cooperation, by building a sarcophagus with sunnets and maintaining a 50 per cent light penetration rate. Does it have to be suntanned in the sun to be used for conservation? Obviously not。
And the green roses and the bamboos, which are resistant to the voodoo, shall be receded from the north balcony or from the indoor light. And here's a little trick: replacing the thick curtains with white veils, which can soften the light and ensure air flow. But remember, don't suddenly change their position. Plants take 7-10 days to adapt, or they'll be "crazy." so, light control isn't simple, it's not as good as it gets。
To sum up, different flowers have different needs for light and need to be properly controlled according to their “opportunities” so that they don't get sunburned or remain in the dark。

The trick two: water isn't as good as ever
It's the number one killer of the summer flower! Recent experiments by the beijing plant institute have shown that in an environment of 35°c, an 80% increase in plant mortality can be caused by wrong watering. A lot of people think it's hot in the summer and the flowers have to be watered. It's 5-7 in the morning. Because soil temperatures are the closest to water temperature. It would also be safer to use the “breathing basin” method by placing the flower basin in a water container, pending immediate removal from the surface soil wetting. Water-storage plants such as meat can even be extended to 15 days。
Don't rush water if you find the leaf atrophy. You'll have to cool the leaves with a spray before the soil's temperature drops. It can also be homemade as a “water-protector” by laying pottery or pines on the soil surface, which can reduce water evaporation by 50%. And remember the “dry-and-wet” principle, it's only two centimetres of water without tide. Do you think more water will make the flowers grow and grow? Obviously not, sometimes watering too hard makes the flowers “drink up”, which is counterproductive。
So, it's not the best way and the best time to refill it, or you'll get "drinked."。
Trick three: ventilation is not an option
High-temperature, high-humid environments are hotbeds of fungi disease, and shanghai plant protection station monitoring shows that the incidence of plant black spots and powder disease is three times higher in summer than in other seasons. It's particularly important at this point in time for ventilation. It's good to open windows early in the morning to create air currents, and to create wind cycles with electric fans, but be careful not to blow straight into plants。
Spraying leaves and backs with garlic water (1:20 dilution) on a monthly basis, both insect-proof and chemical-free. And we have to trim the twigs in time to keep the air open. If the leaves are found, they have to be removed immediately and we have to disinfect them with grass and ashes. In addition, it is recommended to grow highly resistant varieties such as blue snowflakes and summer hyenas, which can last more than 90 days at high temperatures. If you don't focus on ventilation and the flowers get sick, can you expect them to be long? That won't work。
So, the matter of ventilation can't be ignored in the summer flowers, so they can get less sick and longer。
It is challenging to grow flowers in summer, but by mastering these know-hows, not blindly believing that the better the light, the better the water, the better the ventilation, the better, the longer the flowers will flourish in summer, and the more colorful our lives will be. Let's try these ways, see if we can drive our flowers longer
However, flower breeding is also an ongoing process, and there may be some nuances between different regions and flowers, and more attention should be paid in practice. Maybe you can figure out more ways to extend the flower season. Don't forget to share it with other flower friends。
