How to grow Dieffenbachia in summer

1. Move indoors

The climate is relatively hot in summer and the light is strong. It is best to move the plants indoors for maintenance and place them in a well-ventilated place to avoid strong light that may burn the leaves. In addition, it is quite hot and stuffy outside, and the water evaporates quickly, which can easily cause the leaves to wilt.

2. Pruning branches

There is more rain in the summer and the humidity is higher than in other seasons. The high temperature and high humidity environment can easily cause insect pests and bacteria, especially when the branches are too dense. Therefore, it is best to prune the branches before the summer and cut off the branches that grow too densely, which is more conducive to internal ventilation and growth.

3. Reduce fertilization

After summer, its growth rate will slow down, the flowers will bloom more sparsely, and it will gradually enter dormancy. Therefore, you should reduce the application of fertilizer at this time. Even if you apply too much fertilizer, it will not be absorbed, but will be detrimental to its growth and will cause fertilizer damage.

4. Water appropriately

The temperature is high in summer and water evaporates quickly, but the growth rate is relatively slow at this time and not much water is needed. Therefore, do not water too frequently. It is best to water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. When watering, you can press the soil with your hand. If it does not feel moist, then water it. In addition, watering should be done in the morning and morning to avoid high temperatures at noon which may damage the root system.
