4 Misconceptions about Sunbathing Flowers

4 Misconceptions about Sunbathing Flowers

Misunderstanding 1: The direction of the flower pot does not change

Many flower lovers simply place the flower pots in a location with suitable light and ignore them when exposing their flowers to the sun, but they do not know that this method is actually very harmful to the growth of flowers. We all know that plants tend to grow towards light. When the direction of the flowerpot is fixed, the flowers will unconsciously grow in the direction of the sun. Over a long period of time, this will cause the branches and stems of the plants to bend, affecting the ornamental value of the flowers.

The correct approach is actually very simple. Just rotate the flower pot every once in a while so that the plants can enjoy light evenly, and the flowers will naturally stand upright again. The most appropriate time interval for rotating the flower pot is about seven days.

Myth 2: Flowers love light, the stronger the light, the better

Different varieties of flowers have different growth habits. Some flowers prefer shade, while others prefer sun. This has caused many people to have a misunderstanding that flowers that like the sun should be exposed to more light. Therefore, many flower lovers carelessly expose their flowers directly to the scorching sun, which really causes a lot of harm to the flowers. You should know that even light-loving plants will often be harmed when exposed to the sun, which may cause symptoms such as drying up, falling off, and blackening of the leaves.

The correct way is to allow the plants to receive an appropriate amount of light. When the light is strong in summer, pay attention to shading the plants, ensure that the flowers avoid direct sunlight, and place sunburned plants in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance.

Myth 3: Sunbathing through glass indoors is the same as sunbathing outdoors

If it is winter, it is okay for plants to be exposed to the sun through the glass. However, in spring and summer, when plants grow vigorously, if they are exposed to the sun through the glass all the time, it may affect the growth rate of the plants. You must know that glass has a certain blocking effect on ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet rays with longer wavelengths can promote plant growth and promote the absorption of nutrients. Therefore, long-term exposure to the sun through glass is also a problematic method.

The solution to the problem is very simple. In suitable weather, opening the windows can not only improve this problem, but also facilitate indoor ventilation and reduce the growth of bacteria. Friends who have the conditions can move the flowers outdoors to receive reasonable sunlight, but be careful to remember to shade the flowers in summer.

Myth 4: Shade-loving flowers do not need light

Many flower lovers will encounter the following problems during the process of flower cultivation: flowers grow too tall, easily fall over, have weak disease resistance, and have yellowing and falling leaves. At this time, you may need to look for the cause in the light. Plants need photosynthesis to grow, and long-term lack of light will directly affect the growth and health of plants.

The correct approach is to allow shade-loving plants to receive an appropriate amount of scattered light, and to prune leggy plants in a timely manner. In addition, pay attention to the moisture level of the potting soil. Long-term lack of light may cause bacteria to grow in the pot. Therefore, it is more beneficial to the growth of flowers to ventilate, disinfect and clean the potting soil.

Okay, the editor has talked about these four misunderstandings. I wonder if you, a flower lover, have fallen into any of them? As the saying goes, it is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Correct these wrong practices in time and take good care of the flowers you grow. I believe that the flowers will feel it and will continue to bloom beautifully for you!
