Summer flowers dry up quickly when exposed to the sun. Learn this trick and their leaves will immediately become juicy!

Minor sunburn

The ultraviolet rays in summer are strong, even people will get sunburned, let alone flowers. Moreover, many flowers are artificially cultivated varieties, which lack a lot of natural accumulated survival ability, so we need to repair them after sun exposure:

1. Sun-dried and drooping

Some flowers wilt due to the sun at noon, then get better when it gets cooler at night, but wilt again the next day. Those that haven't bloomed are fine, but if they have flower buds, they will fall off or turn black after a day or two of heat.

Solution: Shade and move indoors

Huahua recommends that everyone give priority to sun protection without changing the environment, which can also gradually improve their ability to resist the sun. For flower lovers who do not find shade convenient, move the flowers to a semi-shaded place between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Do not move them to a shady place all at once. The environmental difference is large and it is not easy for the flowers to adapt!

2. Leaf burns

A slightly more serious case is leaf burn, where the leaves are exposed to yellow rust-like spots, which are very easy to identify.

Solution: Remove the injured leaves and apply carbendazim

Prune off the sunburned leaves immediately, otherwise the "injury" will continue to spread. After pruning, you can apply some carbendazim solution on the stems for disinfection.

3. New leaves and buds are scorched

If the above are "external injuries", then the below are "internal injuries". The old leaves are fine, but the new leaves are burnt. It's not just due to the sun, but it means that the soil is not breathable, too much water is not absorbed, and then the roots are suffocated!

Solution:

In this case, don't water the plant first. Use chopsticks to poke a few holes along the edge of the pot for ventilation. Be careful not to get close to the roots of the flowers, as it will be troublesome if the roots are damaged. Afterwards, place it in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, for 2-3 days. When the new buds do not show signs of black rot, move them out and maintain them normally.

Moderate sunburn

What would you do if your flowers and leaves were burnt when you got home? Don’t throw it away, Huahua, there is still a way to save it!

1. Leaves become dehydrated and dry

The leaves of the flowers are still green, but they have become dry and dehydrated. It may not be entirely the sun's fault. It may be that you watered the flowers before the temperature dropped, and the flower roots not only failed to absorb the water but were also irritated.

Solution: Water at night

If only a small number of flowers and leaves are dehydrated, wait until the temperature cools down at 8 o'clock in the evening, prepare a basin of clean water at room temperature (tap water that has been settling for half a day), and water them thoroughly. The flower pots here have holes at the bottom. Those without holes are dangerous. Be sure not to let water accumulate!

2. Leaves turn yellow

The leaves of the flower are not only dehydrated, but also yellow and withered. At this time, it is really "a narrow escape from death". Huahua can only say that whether she can survive depends entirely on God's will.

Solution: shaving, soaking in a basin

First, trim off all the dry leaves and branches, leaving only the parts with life characteristics. Do not put the pruned dead branches and rotten leaves into the pot to avoid suffocating the roots and breeding bacteria.

Get a basin of tap water and let it dry for 2-3 hours, then when the temperature is not so high, immerse the flower pot in the basin of water and take it out after about 10-20 minutes.

After soaking the flowers in the pot, they must be placed in a cool and ventilated place, otherwise the roots will easily rot. Do not water them too frequently during this period. Water them thoroughly every 2-3 days and they will sprout again in about a week.

Severe sunburn

If your flowers have been dried up and turned black, it seems like they can't be saved, but there is a way you can try.

Solution: Soak the roots in water to revive

Cut off all the flowers, rinse the roots, and soak them in clean water (note that it can only be clean water, no other water will work). If the roots have not rotted after about 3 days, it means there is still hope. Change the water and continue soaking them until sprouts grow. If the roots are rotten, throw them away immediately.

Summer is so hot

Are your flowers also sunburned?
