1. Lighting

Areca palm can tolerate partial shade and can be placed indoors under diffuse light for maintenance.

Monstera

Monstera is an expert at purifying the air. Its leaves are dark green. If you put a pot of it at home in the summer, you won’t even need to turn on the air conditioner!

Monstera grows vigorously in a semi-shaded environment and can grow aerial roots. Its leaves are shiny and thick. Once the light is too strong, its growth will slow down and its leaves will shrink.

2. Soil

Monstera has fleshy roots. Once the soil in the pot is not breathable and waterlogged, the roots will easily have difficulty breathing. Therefore, you can mix leaf mold, garden soil and river sand in the ratio of 3:3:2.

There are many types of evergreens, but most of their leaves look like a small palm-leaf fan, lush green and look very cool.

1. Watering and fertilizing

Dieffenbachia likes moisture. It can be watered once a day in summer, and water can be sprayed around the plant in the morning and evening to maintain air humidity. Apply decomposed cake fertilizer water once every 15 days.

2. Soil

Dieffenbachia likes loose, breathable, slightly acidic soil. You can mix leaf mold, garden soil, and coal slag in a ratio of 1:1:1, and water it thoroughly with water added with white vinegar.

Schefflera

In summer, the house tends to be stuffy, the air circulation is poor, and exhaust gas is difficult to discharge. Schefflera can absorb second-hand smoke and other waste gases. Put a pot of it in the house and all waste gas problems will be solved!

1. Watering

The frequency of watering Schefflera varies depending on the size of the flowerpot, but once the soil in the pot becomes dry, water it thoroughly until water flows out from the bottom of the pot. Usually spray water around the plants to increase the air humidity.

2. Lighting

Schefflera does not require much light and can grow in full sun, scattered light, or semi-shade environments. Especially in places with bright light, such as near windows, the leaves of the Schefflera arborvitae can be made more shiny.

Blue Snowflake

The leaves of the blue snowflake plant are emerald green and the petals are blue or light blue. Now is the flowering season of blue snow flowers. Putting a pot of it on the windowsill can add a lot of coolness to the home.

1. Lighting

Blue snow flower plants love light very much. Under sufficient sunlight conditions, it is very easy for them to bloom into large flower balls, so you can place a few pots on a sunny south balcony.

2. Watering

Blue snow flower is particularly fond of water. In the hot summer weather, it is best to water it twice a day. Lack of water can easily cause leaves to wilt and branches to become weak.

Hydrangea

There are many varieties of hydrangeas with many colors, but Huahua thinks the one that is most suitable for summer is Blue Endless Summer.

1. Watering

In hot weather, you can water 1-2 times a day. When watering, you can add a little aluminum sulfate to promote the hydrangea to turn blue.

2. Lighting

Hydrangea is a short-day flower that prefers diffuse light or semi-shaded environment, so it must be shaded in the afternoon when the light is strong.

Six times profit

The six-fold red lily is a flower that Huahua often recommends to everyone because it is easy to grow and easily blooms out of the pot. The blue color of the flower is cool and elegant, making it most suitable for summer!

Place the six-leaf lily on a south balcony with direct sunlight and plenty of sunshine. If it receives long-term sunlight, the six-leaf lily will be more likely to bloom. However, a certain degree of shade is required at noon.

2. Pinching and topping

It is not necessary to pinch and top the Liubeili, but if you want the Liubeili to have a full and spherical shape and a good-looking plant, you must pinch and top it to promote branch growth.

Petunia

Petunias come in a variety of colors, but the most suitable for summer are the blue-purple series.

1. Soil

Petunia prefers soil with good air permeability and water permeability. It can be made by mixing peat and perlite in a ratio of 3:1 to form nutrient soil, which is breathable and not prone to water accumulation.

2. Watering

It is best to water 1-2 times a day in summer. Place a shallow tray under the flowerpot, fill the pot with water in the early morning, and pour out the water in the evening.
