Four key points for flower care in autumn

Watering

Flowers with different habits have different watering methods. For flowers that like moisture, it is still necessary to keep the potting soil moist in autumn. In addition, for some moisture-loving foliage plants, you can spray and wipe the leaves appropriately; for flowers suitable for planting in autumn, ensuring normal watering is an important guarantee for their healthy growth; for other flowers, most need to be watered according to the dryness and wetness of the soil, and gradually reduce the amount of water to prevent the plants from growing too tall and affecting the transformation of flower buds. Reducing the amount of water will help lay a good foundation for the plants to safely overwinter in the next stage.

temperature

After the Cold Dew, the weather turns cooler. Many flowers that like warmth cannot withstand the stimulation of low temperatures. At this time, the flowers should be promptly moved to a warm place indoors for maintenance. However, do not bring all the flowers indoors. You should selectively bring them indoors according to the habits of the flowers. If you bring some flowers indoors too early, it may have an adverse effect on the subsequent development of the plants.

Fertilization

In autumn, many flowers will enter a new round of vigorous growth. At this time, fertilization is crucial to ensure better growth of flowers. Flowers with different flowering periods have slightly different ways of fertilizing. First of all, for annual flowers such as azalea and camellia, liquid fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizer, and phosphorus fertilizer should be applied mainly. It is best to add it 2-3 times. Flowers that bloom for more than a year, such as roses and jasmine, have more requirements for fertilizer. While ensuring the normal application of nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be appropriately added to ensure that the needs of plant growth are met. In addition, some green foliage plants raised at home, adding a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer in the autumn can make the leaves greener and the plants more ornamental. After the northern region enters autumn, the temperature gradually decreases. When the temperature drops to a certain value, fertilizing should be stopped immediately to help the plants survive the winter safely.

Autumn is the right time to prune branches and leaves. In order to reduce excessive consumption of nutrients, appropriate pruning will be more conducive to the growth of flowers and effectively prevent the plants from growing too tall. For some common flowers that grow buds in autumn, removing excess buds will be more conducive to the flowering quality of flowers. For flowers whose flowering period has passed or whose flowering period is long, the fallen flowers should be removed in time to encourage the growth of new buds and continued flowering. In addition, the buds can be pruned appropriately, and they can be topped after pruning to prevent excessive growth.

Generally speaking, there are not many challenges in autumn maintenance, but as the transition season between summer and winter, it is particularly important. Autumn maintenance work is directly related to the wintering of plants. But as long as you are meticulous and patient in the process of growing flowers, I believe that the flowers will feel it and give us their best side. Come on!
