Summer dormancy and maintenance of fuchsia

Summer dormancy of fuchsia

When the fuchsia blooms, the flowers are very delicate, like colorful lanterns. However, it is very afraid of heat in the summer and will go into dormancy, so it must be well cared for.

Summer dormancy maintenance method for fuchsia

First, as the temperature gradually rises, the fuchsia plants will gradually enter dormancy and the dormancy will deepen further.

Generally, when the temperature rises to around 25℃, you should stop fertilizing and reduce watering. When the temperature reaches 30℃, the plant will go dormant. At this time, it should be placed in a ventilated and cool place for maintenance, and watering should be controlled. However, spray water to lower the temperature and increase the humidity of the air.

If the temperature rises to 35℃, it is best to place the plants in an air-conditioned room, otherwise they will easily die from the heat.

Note that in spring, fuchsia can be propagated by cuttings, so that the plants will grow into seedlings in summer, and their ability to resist high temperatures will be stronger at this time.
