How to grow the palace lantern Kalanchoe in summer

Cooling

The summer heat is so unbearable that people are sweating profusely and are said to be like plants. The Kalanchoe nemorosa is not heat-resistant. When the temperature exceeds 30 ℃, the plant will enter a wilting state. If the flowers are not properly cared for at this time, the leaves will fall off at best, and the plant may die at worst. Therefore, the first priority in summer is to cool down.

The flowers can be moved to the north-facing balcony because the temperature on a north-facing balcony is slightly lower than that on a south-facing balcony, especially during the high temperatures at noon. If there is no north-facing balcony, you can place the Kalanchoe regia in a shady place indoors for maintenance. Control watering appropriately. Of course, if your home is always air-conditioned, it goes without saying that it is great to bask in the sun with the air conditioner on.

ventilation

The best growth temperature for the Kalanchoe japonica is 15~25 ℃, but the temperature in summer is often too high, affecting the growth of the plant. In the summer, we may often keep the windows closed and turn on the air conditioner at home. Although the indoor temperature is lowered, the air quality is not necessarily very good. Therefore, it is okay to use air conditioning for the Kalanchoe japonica, but try to place it in a well-ventilated place.

Shade

The impact of light on temperature in summer is great, especially the strong light at noon will cause the temperature around the plant to be too high and may burn the leaves. The plants themselves grow slowly in summer. If the leaves are burned, it will be difficult to recover after the weather turns cooler. So be sure to provide shade in time.
