How do the flowers and plants at home cope with the hot weather?

Shading, ventilation and ventilation

Some flowers that are afraid of high temperature and sun exposure should be placed in a well-ventilated and cool place. Such as camellia and Clivia. ; Orchidaceae and Araceae flowers need to be maintained under weak light or astigmatism, and at the same time, they should be shaded, ventilated and moisturized. Light-loving flowers such as Milan, white orchids, roses, poinsettias, figs and pomegranates should be kept in sunny places. If you find plants withered, you can move them to the shade and put them in a tray filled with water. The roots of plants absorb water from bottom to top for two hours, and the withered plants can return to normal.

You can prepare a sunshade net and build a gazebo for flowers, which is ventilated and breathable. Shading depends on the characteristics of plant varieties. For example, sweet-scented osmanthus likes light, and it is too hot at noon to cover at most; Rhododendron, gardenia and other shade-loving plants can always be placed in shade sheds in summer; Asparagus, rich trees, chlorophytum and Clivia should be kept indoors, away from the windows with direct sunlight.

In addition, be sure to ensure ventilation. In an unventilated or poorly ventilated environment, sunlight will produce high temperature, killing beloved flowers and plants.

Water in time and pay attention to moisturizing.

In hot weather, according to the variety and size of plants, water them in a timely and appropriate manner. Don't water in the hot sun at noon. It is best to water the pot soil when the temperature is the same as or close to the water temperature or air temperature. Aquatic and herbaceous plants should be watered more, while xerophytic and woody flowers should be watered less. Water is different in different growth periods, such as tulips, cyclamen, geraniums and daffodils, which are dormant in summer, so water less. Generally speaking, the watering time should be before 10 in the morning and after 6 pm.

In hot weather, watering should follow the principle of "wet when dry"; If you don't do it, you will be completely poured. " "Seeing dry" means that after watering once, wait until the soil surface turns white and the top soil is dry, and then water for the second time. Never wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. "Seeing wet" means that every time you water it, you should pour it thoroughly, that is, until there is water oozing from the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin. You can't water "half water", because most of the roots of a pot of flowers are concentrated at the bottom of the pot, only wetting the surface of the pot soil, which will make the roots of flowers lack water, leading to defoliation and even death.

Pruning and shaping, rational fertilization

Many flowers grow white easily after entering high temperature weather. In order to keep the beautiful plant shape and fruitful flowers, proper pruning and shaping are needed. Pruning and shaping mainly include core removal, bud wiping, leaf picking, flower thinning and fruit thinning. For example, four-season begonia, upside-down golden bell, a bunch of red flowers, chrysanthemums and so on. When it grows to a certain height, pinching off its top can promote it to branch more and bloom more; Small buds often sprout on the stems or branches of many flowers, which should be removed in time to avoid consuming plant nutrition; Chrysanthemum, camellia, roses and other ornamental flowers should remove some excessive buds to make the flowers colorful.

In addition, plants grow rapidly in hot weather, and attention should also be paid to applying thin fertilizer frequently and loosening the soil in time after watering to ensure good ventilation of plants. Fertilization should be done at night. Pay attention to loosening the soil before fertilization, which is beneficial to the root system to absorb fertilizer and water. Loose soil is also beneficial to the reproduction and growth of microorganisms, accelerates the decomposition of organic matter in soil, and provides a variety of nutrients for the growth of potted flowers. Pay attention to replenish water to plants the next day after fertilization.

Understand habits and control pests and diseases.

Various diseases and insect pests are harmful to the growth of flowers.

When the weather is too hot or too humid, bacteria will multiply faster. Pest control, such as itchy peppers, dust mites, red spiders, etc., needs timely control.

In addition, be sure to ensure ventilation. In an unventilated or poorly ventilated environment, sunlight will produce high temperature (think of cars with doors and windows closed in summer), which will burn beloved flowers and plants.
