How to raise the golden star in summer

1. Loosen the soil frequently

It will go dormant during the high temperatures in summer, so be sure not to change the pot or soil. It is best to loosen the soil frequently, which can effectively increase the air permeability and oxygen contained in the soil, and promote root respiration and growth.

2. Suitable lighting

Although it has gone into dormancy, it cannot be placed in a cool place for a long time. It should be placed in a place where the light is not very strong, and strong light should be blocked in time. Don't worry even if it grows too tall, it will recover after summer by getting more sun.

3. Reduce watering

Water should be controlled in summer. Do not water the plant at will unless the soil in the pot is dry, and do not allow water to accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot and the plant will die. In addition, watering should be done in the morning or evening, avoiding the high temperature at noon.

4. Stop fertilizing

Since the plant has stopped growing in the summer, it no longer needs nutrients, and therefore does not need fertilizer. It is necessary to stop applying fertilizer in time. Appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied in early summer, which is also beneficial for safe summering.
