The summer pansy is a very easy to grow plant. It grows vigorously and blooms a lot. It usually grows in midsummer. The flowers are small and cute. When they grow in large patches, they look very vivid. Summer pansy likes high temperatures and is very heat-resistant. It is a very suitable plant to grow in summer.

How to cultivate summer pansy

1. Lighting

Summer pansy is a plant that likes light very much. When we usually take care of it, we must place it in an environment with sufficient light. It can be placed on the south windowsill. Sufficient light is very beneficial to the growth of summer pansy.

2. Ventilation

When caring for summer pansies, ventilation is also very important. They should be placed in an environment with good ventilation and windows should be opened frequently for ventilation. It is best to grow summer pansies in an outdoor environment, which can ensure sufficient light and ventilation, and is conducive to the flowering of summer pansies.

3. Temperature

The growth temperature of summer pansy is suitable for an environment of 20-28 degrees Celsius. The temperature in summer should not exceed 38 degrees Celsius. The temperature in winter is low and should not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius. It is best to place it indoors to maintain a constant temperature to avoid low temperatures that may cause frost damage and plant death.

4. Soil

Before planting summer pansy, you need to choose suitable soil. It likes loose, fertile, air-permeable and well-drained soil. Humus soil and garden soil should be mixed in a 1:1 ratio to meet the nutrients needed for its root growth.

5. Water and fertilizer

Summer pansy needs sufficient water during its growing period. Keep the soil moist and be careful not to water too much to avoid water accumulation and root rot. Use diluted nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer 2-3 times a month during the growing period to ensure that it has sufficient nutrients needed for growth, promote root growth, and speed up flowering.

Summer pansy maintenance precautions

1. Watering: Summer pansy can be watered every day during summer maintenance, but not at noon to avoid rapid evaporation of water and easy soil drying. The temperature is low in winter, so water it when you find that the soil is dry, and water it thoroughly at one time.

2. Pruning: If you want the summer pansy to grow vigorously, you still have to learn how to prune. When the summer pansy grows about 3 leaves, you can pinch off the top. After pinching, the growth rate of the summer pansy will become faster and faster, and it will be easier to grow it into a large flower ball.
