How to manage various flowers in June

June flower care: watering

Watering in June

First, the watering time is preferably 10 am or 5 pm. Generally, watering once a day is enough;

The second is the watering temperature. The water used for watering should be kept basically consistent with the temperature of the potting soil. If the water temperature is too different from the soil temperature, the roots and leaves of the potted flowers will be stimulated, thus affecting their growth.

The third is to combine watering and spraying. When it has not rained for several days, in addition to watering the pots, you should also spray water on the leaves and around the flowers to increase the humidity of the local space. If it is cloudy for a long time, decide whether to water and spray depending on the dryness of the soil in the pots.

How to water dormant flowers

Semi-dormant plants such as red-flowered Oxalis, geranium, fuchsia, Clivia, calla lily, begonia, etc., when the temperature reaches above 30℃, their growth activity is very weak and their metabolic level is low, so it is necessary to reduce watering and keep the pot soil moist;

Species in deep dormancy, such as cyclamen, amaryllis, ranunculus, Dutch peony, etc., will wither their above-ground stems and leaves and die their underground nutrient fibrous roots under high temperatures. They will hibernate in the soil in underground rhizomes or tubers over the summer. You must stop watering them, move them to a cool place, and keep the soil in the pots from being too dry.

How to water in rainy weather

If there is continuous rainfall, you should check the potted flowers thoroughly after the rain stops. If you find water in the pot, pour it out as soon as possible and loosen the soil after it dries up to avoid root rot. Alternatively, you can knock down the potted flowers before the heavy rain comes, and then straighten them up after the rain stops.

June flower care: fertilization

For vigorous growing species

Such as Monstera, Chlorophytum, Syngonium, Bamboo shoots, Kidney fern, Spring feather, Dracaena, Aspidistra, Hulk, Red (green) gem, Green emperor, Green queen, Rubber tree, Anthurium, Red-backed laurel, Palm bamboo, Araucaria, Brazilian iron, Podocarpus, Pachira, Wintersweet, Rose, White orchid, Milan, Jasmine, Pearl orchid, Plum blossom, Camellia, Camellia sasanqua, Daphne, Azalea, Osmanthus fragrans, Five-color plum, Clerodendrum thomsoniae, Shrimp flower, Asteraceae, Lemon, Kumquat, Pomegranate, Crape myrtle, Pyracantha, etc., can be applied with fermented thin cake fertilizer water every half a month. For flowering species, also should apply appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to meet their growth, flowering and fruiting needs.

For dormant and semi-dormant plants

Fertilizing must be stopped; especially for those fleshy flower species, such as jade leaves, Christmas cactus, crystal palm, cactus pen, squirrel tail, pine coneflower, leopard flower, and sedum. When the temperature reaches above 35℃, fertilizing must be stopped to avoid rot.

Flower care in June: pruning and bud picking

Flourishing flowers

When pruning vigorous growing species such as elm, photinia, podocarpus, camellia sinensis, juniper, cypress, bayberry, juniper, holly, holly, maple, salix alba, tamarisk, and pyracantha, the branches that affect the shape should be pruned or shortened as soon as possible. This will keep the plants in a well-defined and good appearance, and encourage them to grow more short branches and new buds, thus forming a perfect shape as soon as possible.

Plants with withered flowers

For flowers such as Milan, jasmine, pearl orchid, and rose, the withered flowers and stems should be removed in time, and the branches that have bloomed should be properly pruned to encourage the lower side branches or flower buds to bloom again; for flowers and trees such as white orchid, azalea, camellia, wintersweet, plum blossom, and crabapple, in order to encourage them to form a good plant shape and produce more flowers and bloom more and better flowers in the current year or the next, those branches that grow too vigorously should be topped and buds removed to inhibit the growth of the main and side shoots and encourage the germination of side buds.

June flower care: shade

Shade-loving flowers

In June, those flowers and trees that prefer shade or semi-shade must be moved under a shade shed to prevent damage to the plants from the scorching sun. Such as hosta, purple calyx, asparagus fern, camellia, sasanqua, azalea, orchid, strelitzia, orchid, bamboo palm, rubber tree, ferns, philodendron, syngonium, pink daisy leaf, spring feather, green radish, bean sprout, Hulk, red (green) gem, green emperor, red queen, fan palm, daphne, spider plant, spider plant, etc.

Light-loving flowers

Light-loving flower species must be given sufficient light, such as pomegranate, wisteria, pyracantha, crape myrtle, jasmine, Serissa chinensis, cycad, juniper, peach blossom, plum blossom, wintersweet, elm, camellia sinensis, maple, photinia, holly, holly, water bayberry, oak, black pine, brocade pine, white orchid, Milan, rose, Mahonia, and grape; Podocarpus, tiger thorn, bamboo, Buddha belly bamboo, Guanyin bamboo, five-needle pine, bamboo cypress, etc. can be given appropriate shade.

June flower care: prevention and control of pests and diseases

① Cypress, green cypress, elm, papaya, pyracantha, podocarpus, crabapple and other trees are easily damaged by trunk-boring longhorn beetles and should be promptly blocked and controlled with poison sticks.

② Rose, rose, etc. are prone to powdery mildew and brown spot disease during the rainy season, so they should be sprayed with Bordeaux liquid as early as possible for prevention and control.

③ Orchids, plum blossoms, wintersweets, etc. are easily harmed by aphids, so it is necessary to use appropriate pesticides to spray them as soon as possible.

④ The leaves of flowers are easily infected with anthracnose, and should be sprayed with fungicides such as carbendazim as soon as possible for prevention and control.

⑤ The tender leaves of tortillas, lemons, kumquats, and bergamots are easily eaten by the larvae of citrus swallowtail butterflies, which can be killed by spraying contact pesticides, stomach poisons, and other pesticides.
