These flowers grow fastest in summer. If you miss this period, it will be too late to regret!

Cactus

1. Get sunlight

In summer, cacti can be exposed to the sun. Except for a few that are not resistant to the sun, the rest can be placed outdoors in the sun. Unless some places are too sunny, they can be slightly shaded at noon.

2. Reduce watering

Don’t think that you need to water more because the temperature is high in summer. Only water when you feel the soil in the pot is particularly dry. Because after a pot of water is poured in, the soil will be hot and the roots will easily rot. Water the plants at night when it is cool. Don't water too much or water thoroughly. About half of the usual amount of water will be enough. 1-2 times a month is enough.

3. Supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers

Cactus blooms in summer, and a lot of nutrients are consumed during the flowering process, so you can apply some fertilizer to it after flowering, even compound fertilizer will do. At the same time, when growing cacti, you must use well-drained soil and mix it with more sand.

4. Maintain good ventilation

If you want the cactus to grow fast in summer, you must maintain particularly good ventilation. Cacti kept indoors in air-conditioned rooms are prone to root rot if they stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time. Ensure ventilation for about 3 hours a day.

Pendant

1. Ensure sufficient light

The catnip is an extremely hardy and easy-to-grow plant. It particularly likes strong sunshine and grows very fast in summer. In particular, the catnip grown outdoors can burst into bloom in less than a month.

2. Don’t water unless the soil is dry

If you grow the petals outdoors, you can water them once a day. If you grow them indoors, water them when you feel the soil in the pot is dry. Do not allow water to accumulate, otherwise the plants will grow too tall and the roots will rot. And don't water at noon. It's best to water at 5-6 in the morning and 7-8 in the afternoon.

3. Cut the head and keep ventilation

If the catnip grows too vigorously and densely in the summer, it will lack ventilation and easily cause black rot. Therefore, you can cut off its head. After cutting off its head, it will grow vigorously and will soon burst into fruit. In addition, if you cut off the branches and directly insert them into the pot, the pot will bloom.

Jasmine

1. Ensure sufficient light

Jasmine likes to bask in the sun, but it must not lack water. If it is grown outdoors, it can be watered 1-2 times a day.

Water the plant as soon as you feel the soil in the pot is dry, preferably in the early morning or evening.

2. Timely pruning

Summer is the flowering period of jasmine. After flowering, we must trim the withered flowers in time and cut off the overgrown branches so that new side buds can continue to sprout and more flowers can bloom.

3. Fertilization and nutrient supplementation

Jasmine consumes nutrients severely during its flowering period, especially phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, so apply a dilute potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution 1-2 times a week. The ratio of potassium dihydrogen phosphate to water is 1:1000. Mix evenly and then pour it into the potting soil with water.

Gardenia

1. Proper shade

Gardenia cannot be exposed to strong sunlight in summer. It can be exposed to the sun in the morning and evening, but about 60% of the light should be blocked at noon. It is best to place it on the east or west balcony for maintenance.

2. Increase watering and humidity

When growing gardenias in summer, you need to water them more frequently than usual, about 1-2 times a day, or once every 2-3 days. At the same time, you should spray water around the leaves 2-3 times a day to keep them moist, otherwise leaf fall, yellow leaves, and bud falling will follow.

3. Supplement ferrous sulfate

Gardenia likes acidic soil and should be watered with ferrous sulfate solution every 7-10 days. The ratio of ferrous sulfate to water is 2:1000.

Pothos

1. Stay hydrated

Chlorophytum likes water and generally needs to be watered every 2 to 3 days in summer. If the pot feels light or the leaves are a little wilted, water it immediately. You can also spray water on the leaves and the surrounding ground in the morning and evening to keep them moist, increase the humidity and lower the temperature.

2. Appropriate lighting is important

If you want the green ivy to grow fast, light is essential, but it must not be exposed to the sun in the open air in summer. If you grow it indoors, the light from the east and west balconies and living rooms is most suitable, which is relatively bright, while avoiding direct sunlight. It must not be kept in the shade for a long time, otherwise it will easily turn yellow and wilt.

3. Adequate nutrition is essential

If you want the green ivy to grow rapidly, you must also provide it with enough nutrition and apply more nitrogen fertilizer. The water used for raising fish at home can be used directly to water the green ivy. In addition, you can put the rice water at home in a plastic bottle and dry it in the sun for half a month. After it is fermented, it can also be used to water the green ivy.

4. Maintain good indoor ventilation

Outdoor plants grow fast and well, one reason being good ventilation. In summer, many families turn on air conditioners, which leads to poor indoor ventilation. It is easy for the roots of the green ivy to rot or attract diseases and pests. Therefore, when we are not at home in the summer, we must remember to open the windows to let the green ivy breathe fresh air.
