What flowers to grow in summer

Insect repellent

Mint

Mint has a special fragrant aroma and has a certain mosquito repellent effect. After being bitten by mosquitoes or insects, boil the leaves in water and apply it to the affected area, which has the effects of cooling, relieving inflammation and relieving itching. In summer, it is one of the must-have green plants for flower growers.

(1) Mint is a light-loving plant. More light will promote the growth of mint, and direct light is also no problem.

(2) In hot and dry weather, be sure to water the plant sufficiently. Spraying the leaves is also a good option.

Mosquito repellent grass

Mosquito repellent grass is the common name for geranium, which can keep mosquitoes away in summer.

(1) Geraniums are drought-resistant and afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, control water appropriately during the growth process. Excessive watering and excessive water content in the potting soil will cause excessive growth or root rot.

(2) It prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight, warmth and good ventilation. During the hot season of midsummer and early autumn, it should be placed in a shaded place and avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the branches and leaves will be burned.

Nepenthes

Nepenthes is a typical carnivorous plant. It has peculiar leaves and an oblong "insect-catching bottle" hanging on the top. The bottle has a lid that can be opened and closed. Pitcher plants can be used as medicine, and are effective in treating diseases such as hepatitis, stomachache, high blood pressure and colds. They are also good at catching mosquitoes.

Of course, it is impossible to drive away all mosquitoes by relying solely on mosquito repellent plants. Huahua reminds everyone: the fundamental way to repel mosquitoes is to do a good job of mosquito killing and keep the room clean.

Flower viewing

Many flowers bloom in summer. They bring us beauty and make our lives colorful.

Lotus

Growing out of the mud without being stained, washing in the clear water without being coquettish, how can summer be without lotus? I still remember the beautiful scenery I enjoyed when I went to West Lake in June: "The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun."

(1) The lotus has a strong ability to adapt to its growing environment. Not only can it bloom in lakes and ponds of all sizes, but it can also beautify the world even in small pots and bowls.

(2) Summer is the peak growth period for lotus. Be careful not to let the pot become dehydrated throughout the summer.

June Snow

As the name suggests, star-shaped white flowers bloom every summer, just like snow piled on the tree. Serissa serrata is one of the trees commonly used for bonsai.

(1) Watering: Water regularly during the growing season. Avoid excessive dryness or wetness. In summer, spray water on the leaves 1-2 times a day.

(2) It likes shade and tolerates moisture, but is afraid of strong light.

Epiphyllum

The ephemeral beauty is only for Wei Tuo, and the stunning moment will light up the whole summer night~

(1) Prefers a semi-shady, warm environment. In summer, it should be placed under a shade grid for maintenance, or cultivated in a place without direct sunlight.

(2) The soil in the pot should be kept moist in summer, but water should not accumulate to prevent root rot. Provide shade to avoid direct sunlight. Water more often in summer, spray 1-2 times in the morning and evening to increase air humidity, and avoid showers to prevent root rot.

Gardenia

Gardenias are blooming, gardenias are blooming, like crystal waves, blooming in the sea of ​​my heart~

(1) In summer, gardenias should be placed in a well-ventilated, humid and light-permeable sparse forest or shade shed for maintenance.

(2) In the hot and dry summer, you need to spray water on the leaves 2-3 times a day to increase the air humidity and help cool the plants.

In summer, the beautiful world of flowers will bring you a different visual feast.

Shade and humidity resistant

June is the rainy season. My friends in the south, do you have enough underwear in stock? The northern flowers send sincere care to you in the southern rainy weather, and also recommend you some green plants that are tolerant to shade and humidity~

Chlorophytum comosum

Chlorophytum comosum prefers a warm and humid environment and can grow normally in both full sunlight and semi-shade.

(1) Keep the soil and air moist during the growing season and avoid excessive dryness, otherwise the leaves will dry up and fall off. Apply well-rotted thin liquid fertilizer or special fertilizer for foliage plants once a month.

(2) In summer, ensure good ventilation and provide appropriate shading to prevent exposure to the sun.

Monstera

I heard that Monstera is more suitable for rainy days ~ because it likes warm and humid climates and avoids direct sunlight.

Monstera is a high-end potted foliage plant. The suitable temperature for its growth is about 25℃. The soil must be fertile and well-drained. It likes a shaded environment and fertile and loose sandy soil.

Maidenhair fern

The maidenhair fern is afraid of dryness and strong light, and must be placed in a place without direct sunlight for maintenance.

(1) The maidenhair fern prefers a humid environment and needs to be watered adequately during the growing season. In addition to keeping the soil moist, the air humidity should also be high. When the air is dry, sprinkle water around the plant.

(2) Especially in summer, water should be poured 1-2 times a day. Lack of water will cause the leaves to shrink.

evergreen

(1) During the growing season, the plant should be watered sufficiently by spraying water around the Dieffenbachia or misting the plant. If you don't spray water for a long time, the leaves will become rough and lose their luster.

(2) The best soil moisture is a dry-wet pattern. Water more often in summer.

(3) If placed indoors for viewing, the leaves should be wiped frequently with a soft cloth to keep them clean and bright.

(4) Variegated Dieffenbachia likes moisture and is afraid of dryness, so the soil in the pot should be kept moist.

Are you still worried about your flowers on rainy days? Now that you are familiar with the properties of the above plants, tell your friends and let’s grow them together.

Hydroponics

Is there anyone like Huahua who feels cool and happy when seeing water in summer? How about growing the following plants?

Anthurium

Anthurium is a plant with strong affinity for water. It is the darling among all hydroponics. However, hydroponics of Anthurium is a technical job. Both in appearance and in the technique of hydroponic plants, it is more beautiful and more difficult to master than other hydroponic plants. This is why it is the darling among hydroponics.

(1) Changing water: The roots of Anthurium have very strong respiration rates. It is necessary to change the water regularly to remove the mucus and algae secreted by the roots, and to cut off old and rotten roots. This also helps increase the dissolved oxygen content in the water. Generally, the water should be changed every 2 or 3 days.

(2) Light and temperature: Anthurium prefers a warm, semi-shaded environment and avoids direct sunlight. Place it in a well-ventilated place away from strong light. In summer, the temperature of the surrounding environment of hydroponic Anthurium should not be higher than 28℃.

Pothos

The evergreen green ivy is also a cool landscape in summer.

(1) Pothos is evergreen all year round and is shade-tolerant. Do not place it in a strong light environment.

(2) The roots of water-cultured green radish should be cleaned and repaired regularly. If the roots are too long, they should be cut short in time to avoid nutrient loss.

This is so familiar to everyone that I don't need to elaborate on it.

Lucky Bamboo

(1) Water-inserted lucky bamboo is usually placed indoors and should be placed in a bright and ventilated environment so that it can be fully exposed to light.

(2) Water-grown lucky bamboo only needs to be fertilized once a month. You can go to the flower market to choose professional fertilizers, or add a few drops of dissolved vitamin C1 when adding water.
