What to do with cyclamen in summer

1. Maintain a cool environment

When summer comes, keep the environment cool. It likes a cool, humid and sunny environment and is afraid of high temperatures, especially old roots. Although the new bulbs are very resistant, they will stop growing and enter a semi-dormant state due to hot weather. Therefore, when summer comes, it is necessary to cool down in time and avoid rain, just give it a little sunlight.

2. Reasonable fertilization and watering

When summer comes, its leaves will start to turn yellow due to the high temperature. At this time, you should reduce watering to allow the bulbs to enter a semi-dormant state. After the leaves have dried up and the soil in the pot has dried up, you can place it in a ventilated and shaded place, but don't let the soil in the pot be too dry, otherwise the bulb will dry out. If it is a newly planted plant this year, you should not fertilize or water it after June. You can only continue after the weather gets cooler.

3. Repot in time

When July or August comes every year, it will enter a dormant state and the leaves will begin to fall. This situation will not recover until after September, at which time you should repot and change the soil in time. When changing the soil, be sure not to damage the roots, just remove the bad roots. Then soak the bulbs in the disinfectant solution for 10 minutes, then take them out and let them dry.

4. Do a good job in pest control

In summer, diseases are easy to occur and then affect the entire bulb, so spray it with some Bordeaux solution before the disease occurs to achieve a preventive effect. In addition, if diseased leaves are found, they should be removed in time to prevent infection of other leaves.
