How to grow African violets in summer

Summer maintenance temperature

The temperature is very high in summer, which is the main problem that everyone is worried about. In fact, as long as you do the following things, it is very easy for African violets to survive the summer. Water appropriately, increase ventilation and provide shade. Doing these things well will help the African violet to dissipate heat and lower the temperature, preventing it from getting diseases and pests, rotting, or even death, allowing it to spend the summer safely.

Summer maintenance light

In summer, the light is strong, but because the light is too strong, it can easily accelerate the rise in temperature and the evaporation of water, so the supply of light needs to be reasonable and appropriate.

Generally in the summer, it is better to have sufficient diffuse light. You can place it near the window or other places where it can be exposed to light. Be careful not to expose it to direct light and provide appropriate shade, except for some varieties.

Improve ventilation

In the summer, African violets grown indoors always face a problem, which is ventilation. Because you need to water more and spray water in summer to increase the air humidity, poor ventilation will cause some diseases and pests, and even rot and death.

Therefore, in summer, improving ventilation is more beneficial to the growth of African violets.

Water and fertilizer

In summer, African violets need to be watered frequently and sprayed with water to replenish their moisture. However, there is no need to fertilize too frequently, or even stop fertilizing. Because in summer, the growth of African violets is relatively slow and there is no need to supplement nutrients.
