How to grow green radish more vigorously in summer?

Pothos is popular for its bright green leaves and rapid growth rate. This indoor potted plant is not only affordable and easy to maintain, but summer is also a golden period for its growth. In this season, as long as it is given appropriate light, the right amount of water and timely fertilizer , the green ivy will be able to show a more vigorous growth momentum. Let’s learn in detail how to grow green radish more vigorously in summer.

1. Avoid strong sunlight

Pothos does not require strong direct sunlight. It is more suitable to be placed in a place with bright diffuse light. In summer, be especially careful not to expose the green radish to direct sunlight, especially to avoid the strong oblique sunlight in the afternoon, which may cause sunburn on the leaves.

2. Keep ventilation

Problems such as yellowing leaves, soft branches, or rotten roots are often related to the ventilation conditions of the maintenance environment. For example, when growing green radish in the bathroom, these problems are likely to occur due to poor ventilation. If the environment is not well ventilated, the excess water in the potting soil cannot evaporate in time, which can easily lead to waterlogging and root diseases. It is recommended to place the green radish in a well-ventilated place and avoid an environment with closed doors and windows.

3. Water properly to avoid water accumulation

Pothos likes a humid environment, but is not tolerant of waterlogging. Even though the green radish is suitable for hydroponics, water accumulation in the soil should be avoided when growing it in soil to prevent the breeding of harmful bacteria and root hypoxia, which can lead to root rot. When watering the soil-grown green radish, the principle of "watering when dry and watering when wet" should be followed. Green radish has a strong water storage capacity, so even if the leaves appear slightly soft, it is still feasible to water them in time. When watering, make sure to water thoroughly and avoid watering halfway.

4. Apply fertilizer at the right time to promote growth

Although the green radish is resistant to barrenness and can maintain growth even without fertilizer, in order to make the leaves more lush and green, it is recommended to apply thin fertilizer to the green radish during the peak growth period in summer. As a foliage plant, you should choose a fertilizer with a balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium or a high-nitrogen fertilizer, such as a triple compound fertilizer , a general water-soluble fertilizer or urea. Apply once every 7-15 days, and be careful not to over-fertilize to avoid fertilizer damage.

5. Avoid placing it near the air outlet of the air conditioner

Some flower lovers like to place the green radish on a cabinet air conditioner or refrigerator, but the heat emitted by these appliances when in operation is not conducive to the growth of the green radish. In addition, air-conditioning outlets are not suitable for placing green radish, because prolonged cold or hot wind may cause damage to green radish, and air-conditioning wind may cause dry air, causing green radish leaves to turn yellow and dry tips.

The above are the key points and precautions for caring for green radish in summer. You can pay more attention to these points. As long as you do your daily work well, green radish can grow vigorously in summer.
