How to care for azaleas in summer? Detailed summer care tips

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
Although this is a relatively good plant, it is actually quite delicate, especially in summer, when the temperature is very high, which is indeed a difficult problem to solve for it. So we still need to cool it down, keep it moist, and shade it, so that it can grow well and safely get through the whole summer. In addition, in June and July, fertilizing, pruning and other tasks are also very important links. Apart from these, in August we also need to kill insects, so that pathogens will not invade freely.

1. Cooling down

Because summer is often the hottest time of the year, there is no doubt that at this time the environment this plant needs is not present, so cooling it down is still a very important point. To achieve this goal, we need to sprinkle water around it, because at this time the evaporation of water is especially large, and water evaporation needs to absorb heat, so it can still bring a certain amount of coolness to the surroundings.

In addition, shading is also something that must be done, because exposure to the blazing sun will affect its normal growth, so we can set up a greenhouse for it. Generally we need to cover it with two layers of shade netting, or simply move it from outside to a relatively shady place. If a greenhouse is used, what we also need to do is spray it with water, generally once at eight in the morning and again at three in the afternoon. In addition, we also need to do a good job of ventilation.

2. June and July

The shaping and pruning of this flower is done from the beginning of June to the middle of July, and after pruning, the leaves of this flower will be greatly damaged, so we must take good care of the roots, so that it can grow healthily. Of course, at this time fertilizing should be reduced, both the frequency and the concentration should be slightly lowered, because generally no fertilizing is allowed for more than half a month after pruning.

3. August

In August, new shoots will grow out, and at this time we need to adopt stricter management methods. First, we need to keep the temperature below thirty degrees, so that its leaves and flower buds will grow out normally. Then we need to know that tender green leaves are very easily attacked by insects, so we must sterilize and kill insects for it, so as to avoid infection by pathogens and invasion by insects. Of course, we still need to give it water and fertilizer resources normally. As long as it can smoothly get through summer, it will bloom very well in spring.
