Precautions for maintaining potted plants in high temperatures in summer (how to keep bonsai flowers from withering in summer)

First, ventilation should be done well

No matter what kind of flowers, plants and green plants you grow, you can say that "ventilation is the first priority"!

The ventilation mentioned here means that the environment of potted flowers and plants should be well ventilated, especially in the hot summer, the air should flow so that the flowers and plants can grow well.

Breathability means that the soil in the pot must be breathable and cannot be compacted and blocked, causing the plant roots to rot due to lack of oxygen.

Whether a plant grows vigorously or not is the result of the interaction between the above-ground stems and leaves and the underground roots.

Through photosynthesis, branches and leaves synthesize carbohydrates and convert them into other nutrients. At the same time, some nutrients synthesized by leaf buds are transported to the roots, and the roots continuously loosen up the stems and leaves by absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.

The more vigorously the roots grow, the more nutrients they can provide to the stems and leaves, and the more luxuriant the entire plant will be. Therefore, if potted flowers want to grow vigorously, ventilation must be done well.

Secondly, shade maintenance is critical

Most flowers and plants that are not heat-resistant need shade maintenance, especially in the hot summer when the sun is high in the sky, more emphasis should be placed on shade maintenance of these flowers and plants .

Because the temperature is high in summer and water evaporates quickly, for flowers and plants that are in a vigorous growth period, it is necessary to replenish water in a timely manner while also providing them with appropriate shade, care and management.

This is the only way to make the flowers and plants grow well and avoid the leaves being burned and dried by the scorching sun. For example, perennial grass flowers such as Clivia, Anthurium, Strelitzia, orchid, Hosta, Phalaenopsis, etc. need shade maintenance in summer to grow well.

Third, water in time so that the buds do not dry out

Flowers and plants that are not heat-resistant need more water. In the dry and hot summer, the stems and leaves evaporate water quickly . We should replenish them with water in time to avoid the pot soil from being too dry, which will make the flowers and plants unbearable and die.

Generally speaking, flowers and plants grown in summer should be watered thoroughly once a day, especially one- or two-year-old herbaceous flowers, such as primroses, pansies, cineraria, violets, etc., which especially need sufficient water supply in summer to avoid withering due to water shortage and drought.
