However, the intensity of sunlight is higher in summer, so it cannot be placed directly in the sun. A brighter place to ensure that they can receive strong sunlight without getting sunburned.

Maintain good ventilation

In summer, due to the low temperature, it is very easy to breed bacteria and cause damage to plants. To this end, they should be placed in a location with good air circulation to effectively prevent the growth of bacteria and viruses, and keep them away from pests and diseases during their dormancy.

Control watering frequency

For Chiva Lotus in its summer dormancy period, the number of waterings should be controlled, and it should never be watered too much, as water accumulation will cause it to rot.

In addition, the best time to water is in the afternoon or evening.

I believe that once you understand the above secrets, you can take appropriate measures in time to allow the Chiva in its dormant period to maintain vigorous vitality and conserve energy for the arrival of the autumn growing season.
