If you plant these flowers in the summer, you don’t even need air conditioning, it’s so cool!

Monstera

If you want to cool down the house, you need to choose flowers and plants with strong transpiration effects. Therefore, flowers and plants with large leaves and many leaves are the first choice. Then you need to choose flowers and plants with strong vitality that can thrive in summer.

Monstera originally grows in the tropics. It likes warmth and fears cold, likes humidity and tolerates shade. It can grow well in an indoor diffused light environment in summer. It has a strong transpiration effect and is the best choice for indoor cooling.

Maintenance points:

1. Placement: Monstera is best placed in the living room or near a window where there is no direct sunlight. It is best to open the window in the morning and evening.

2. Watering in summer: The temperature is high in summer and the transpiration of flowers and plants is strong. Flowers and plants with large leaves, such as Monstera, need sufficient water, so they need to be watered every day and sprayed on the leaves in the morning and evening.

3. Appropriate fertilization: In summer, you can apply thin liquid fertilizer to Monstera once a month. Mix organic liquid fertilizer or decomposed cake fertilizer with water in a ratio of 1:2000. Pour it in along the watering line. This will make its leaves shiny and grow more vigorously.

Mint

Mint is a very suitable flower to plant in summer. It is resistant to heat and strong light. It can not only evaporate water vapor to lower the air temperature, but also emit a refreshing aroma.

Maintenance points:

1. Placement: Mint is both light-resistant and shade-tolerant. It can be placed in semi-shaded places such as the living room and study, or in sunny places such as balconies and windowsills. The more sun the mint is exposed to in the summer, the stronger its fragrance will be.

2. Watering in summer: Mint must be given sufficient water in summer so that it can grow fast, so it is best to water it once a day.

But be careful not to water during the hottest time of the day in summer, otherwise, poor ventilation will easily cause root rot. The best time to water is in the morning or evening. You can spray more water on the leaves at other times.

3. Appropriate fertilization: In summer, mint needs to be fertilized with a thin layer of nitrogen fertilizer once a month.

You can put a dozen grains of compound fertilizer into the water, shake it evenly and then water the mint with the water. You can also water it with some decomposed rice water every month. Put the rice water in a plastic bottle and place it in the sun for about a month to successfully compost it.

Drug Weed

The drug-absorbing grass is shade-tolerant, heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant and waterlogged-tolerant. It has very strong vitality and can absorb harmful substances in the air. It can be said to be one of the most suitable flowers and plants for indoor planting in summer.

Maintenance points:

1. Placement: The drug-absorbing grass does not like direct sunlight, so it is best to place it in a scattered light place such as the living room and kitchen.

It can also be placed near the north windowsill or north balcony, so that the flowers and plants can be ventilated when the windows are opened in the morning and evening.

2. Watering in summer: Almost all flowers and plants need sufficient water in summer, and the drug-absorbing grass needs to be watered once every one or two days.

3. Appropriate fertilization: Among flower fertilizers, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are responsible for flowering and fruiting, while nitrogen fertilizers are responsible for branching and leafing. Therefore, for foliage plants such as the drug-absorbing grass, it is necessary to give it sufficient nitrogen fertilizer to allow it to thrive.

You can water it with diluted decomposed rice water once every half a month, diluting it with water at a ratio of 1:100.

Money Tree

The money tree is also one of the flowers and plants with large leaves and strong transpiration effect, and because of its good meaning, almost every household plants it. As long as it is properly maintained, the money tree can also help lower the room temperature in summer.

Maintenance points:

1. Placement: The money tree must not be placed in a shaded, poorly ventilated environment! It is best to place the money tree in a bright, diffused light area in the living room.

Generally speaking, in places indoors where there is no direct sunlight, the larger the area where you can see the sky, the better the degree of astigmatism at this location. At the same time, indoor ventilation must be ensured. It is best to place the money tree near a window.

2. Watering in summer: There are big money trees and small trees. Its root system is not well developed, so if it is watered too much, it will easily cause root rot. Therefore, big money trees should be watered once every half a month, and small trees should be watered once every ten days.

This is the watering frequency of flowers. Flower lovers should water carefully according to the size of their money tree and the air permeability of the soil, and prefer dry to wet.

3. Appropriate fertilization: The money tree likes fertilizer, but in summer, you should pay attention to the frequency and concentration of fertilizing the money tree to avoid root burn, which will not be worth the loss.

You can dilute the organic liquid fertilizer at a ratio of 1:2000 and water the money tree once a month. Homemade flower fertilizer must be decomposed before use.

Pothos

Green ivy is a typical broad-leaved plant with many leaves. Such plants have strong transpiration and can obviously cool down the room. What's more, the green radish has strong vitality and can grow well in summer.

Maintenance points:

1. Placement: Pothos is shade-tolerant but not sun-tolerant, so it should be placed in a diffused light location indoors without direct sunlight. It is best to place it near the north windowsill. Generally speaking, such a location has good ventilation and diffused light conditions.
