Throw corn husks on the surface of the bowl. The temperature has dropped by 10℃. You don’t have to worry about dying in the sun even if it’s too hot!

Cover the basin with corn husks and foam bags

The temperature is high in summer, the soil in the pot heats up quickly and the water evaporates quickly. In order to cool the soil and keep it moist, you can cover the pot with something small.

Corn Husk

Summer is the season for eating corn. Don’t throw away the corn husks left over from cooking corn. They can be used as a covering for noodles.

Break the fresh corn husks into pieces and spread them evenly on the surface of the pot. This can reduce the evaporation of soil moisture and also play a role in heat insulation and cooling. However, some flower lovers have reported that corn husks may attract small insects.

Fruit foam bag

When you buy fruit, there are often foam bags on the fruit, which can also be used as a good thing for laying out!

Just spread the foam bag flat on the surface of the basin. Compared with corn husks, foam bags are more absorbent and breathable, and are less likely to attract insects!

Put a pot on the flowers and apply a film

The temperature is high in summer and the soil in the pot heats up quickly. If you don't take protective measures, the flowers can easily die from root burns.

Heat insulation method

Nowadays, most flower lovers use plastic pots or ceramic pots to grow flowers. Such pots heat up quickly but dissipate heat slowly. The roots of plants can easily be burned if exposed to the sun.

1. Flower lovers can put a larger flower pot on the outside of the flower pot to serve as insulation.

2. If you don’t have a large flower pot at home, you can use a white fertilizer bag or other white bag to cover the outside.

Film insulation method

Friends who have cars at home must be familiar with car insulation pads. The insulation pads at home can also be used to insulate flowers!

1. Make the insulation gasket into a circle with a diameter larger than the flower pot, glue the joints together, and put it on the outside of the flower pot.

2. If you don’t have an insulation pad at home, you can use tin foil instead. Tin foil is easier to use and can be directly wrapped around the outside of the flower pot.

Turn on the humidifier and fan

Many flower lovers grow their flowers on the balcony or indoors, which causes problems with poor ventilation and dry air, so they need artificial humidification and ventilation!

Turn on a humidifier

The temperature is high in summer, water evaporates quickly, and the air becomes dry easily. Once the air humidity does not meet the flowers' requirements, the flowers will easily dry up and their leaves will wilt.

1. Flower lovers who have the conditions can place a humidifier next to the flowers, which can not only increase the air humidity but also lower the ambient temperature.

2. If you don’t have a humidifier at home, you can put a basin of clean water next to the flowers, which can also help cool down and humidify!

Put a small fan

Many flower lovers grow their flowers and succulents on the balcony, where the air circulation is poor and the flowers can easily suffocate.

In order to enhance air circulation and lower the temperature on the balcony, flower lovers can place a small solar-powered fan on the balcony, which can rotate without electricity!

Climbing vines to grow shade nets

Flower lovers can plant sun-resistant climbing plants on the windowsill, such as morning glory and trumpet creeper. When the flowers cover the windows, they can provide shade for the flowers on the balcony!

However, flower lovers who don’t have time to plant vines don’t need to worry. If there is no plant shade net, you can directly pull up a sunscreen net!
