How can fuchsia survive the summer safely?

Fuchsia, also known as golden bell crabapple, looks like a lantern and has a long flowering period, from April to December, but its natural enemy is the hot summer! Many fuchsias that were blooming in good shape died at the gate of hell in summer!

Growth habit

Fuchsia likes a moist and cool growing environment, and is particularly afraid of scorching heat, rain and sunshine. The most suitable growth temperature is 15 to 25 degrees. It is generally easier to grow in the north than in the south.

When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees in summer, if it continues to be hot and stuffy and without ventilation, a large number of hanging bells will wither and die, so summer maintenance is extremely critical.

Summer Tips

1. Shade and avoid the heat

When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, be sure to move the flower pot to a ventilated and cool place, or place it directly in a scattered light place indoors, and cool it down with a fan or air conditioner!

2. Control fertilizer and water

In the semi-dormant state, watering must be strictly controlled and fertilization must be stopped. The soil in the pot should be slightly dry. Too wet or stuffy will cause the plant to wither and fall leaves, or even rot and die.

3. Prevent rain

On the one hand, rain will knock off the flower buds, and on the other hand, the soil in the pot is too wet and water accumulates in the pot, which can easily lead to root waterlogging and yellowing and rotten leaves.

4. Cultivate new seedlings

Old plants of fuchsia are very sensitive to high temperatures and are particularly prone to dying from the heat. However, the new plants have a stronger ability to resist high temperatures, especially the new plants that survive from cuttings in late spring and early summer.
