Daily management of summer dormant flowers

Lighting Management

Before entering summer, you must first know which flowers have a dormant period and make preparations in advance. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, you need to move the potted plants that have entered a dormant period from the strong light outdoors to a cool and shaded environment. Secondly, you must also pay attention to air circulation and spray water mist around the leaves to cool the plants.

Watering management

Summer flowers in the dormant period basically do not require water supply, and growers must stop daily watering of flowers. Flowers that stop growing not only fail to absorb water, but also cause their roots to be soaked for a long time, resulting in root rot. In severe cases, the plant may die.

Rainy weather management

In summer, there is a lot of moisture and precipitation, so it is best to move the plant indoors. If you cannot move it indoors, you need to take timely precautions to avoid rain and prevent water from accumulating in the pots. The principle is the same as overwatering.

Fertilization management

Some people may say that flowers in their dormant period need more nutrients to survive better. In fact, this is not the case and it is totally wrong. Summer flowers in the dormant period will not absorb any more nutrients even if they are supplemented, let alone grow, so fertilization must be prohibited at this time, otherwise root rot will occur.

When the temperature gradually drops and the summer dormancy flowers gradually resume normal growth, you can resume normal daily maintenance.
