Can the fire festival be sunbathed in summer?

Can it be exposed to the sun?

Some time ago, some flower lovers asked Xiao Jie in the forum, "Last year, the color of the Fire Festival was still green when exposed to the sun outdoors in the summer. What should we do this year?" After seeing this question, I think the flower lovers already know whether the Fire Festival can be exposed to the sun.

That’s right, the Fire Festival is a summer species and will not enter a dormant period in summer, so it is good to get more sunlight. However, in high-rise rooms or enclosed balconies, or in environments with sustained high temperatures, attention should be paid to ventilation, and appropriate shade should be provided at noon in summer to avoid excessive exposure to the sun.

Will you still get red if you don't get sun exposure in summer?

First of all, you should understand the principle of the fire festival turning red. Low temperature + dryness + sunlight are the three conditions for the fire festival to turn red, and none of them can be missing. Therefore, in summer, if only one of the conditions is met, a humid and high temperature environment, the color of the fire festival will not change.

So there is no need to worry about why you don’t get red at all after being exposed to the sun for so long during the summer? Sunbathing in the summer is only necessary to meet the needs of normal growth and avoid excessive growth due to lack of sunlight.

How to get red in the sun

If you want your fire festival to be popular, you need to see how it is exposed to the sun in winter, and you should also pay attention to how it is raised in summer! Although the Fire Festival has to go through hot summer and cold autumn before turning red, this is the time when the Fire Festival stores nutrients.

In summer, we should focus on maintaining a good root system to allow the fire festival to grow quickly. The fire plant stores a large amount of nutrients. After the temperature drops in autumn, gradually stop watering it and replace watering with spraying. If it is maintained in full sunlight, the fire plant will become redder and redder.

There are other small details of fertilization that need attention. Avoid using concentrated fertilizers. There are also certain requirements for the selection of fertilizers. Reduce the content of nitrogen fertilizers, otherwise it will cause the plants to grow too tall and the leaves will not turn red no matter how much they are exposed to the sun. The main fertilizers for fertilization are phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and it is sufficient to apply decomposed phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once a month.
