Clivia

Growing Flowers Encyclopedia

1. Watering

In summer, depending on how dry or moist the soil is, water once a day. To increase air humidity, it is best to mist the plant, but be careful not to let water flow into the leaf core, otherwise the heart is prone to rot.

2. Fertilizing

In summer, once the temperature reaches around 30 degrees, stop fertilizing, otherwise Clivia is prone to root rot.

Spider Plant

1. Light

In summer, the spider plant is best kept in a well-ventilated spot with bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight, otherwise the leaf tips easily dry out.

2. Watering

In summer, when the temperature is high and the air is dry, water once every 1-2 days, and mist the spider plant's leaves regularly to increase air humidity, so the leaves stay healthy and do not lack water.

Hoya

Growing Flowers Encyclopedia

1. Watering

Hoya has a strong need for water in summer, so it can be watered once in the morning and once in the evening. When the weather is dry, mist the leaves to maintain humidity.

Christmas Cactus

Growing Flowers Encyclopedia

In summer, the Christmas cactus stops growing and enters dormancy because the temperature is too high. During this period, stop watering and fertilizing, and keep the Christmas cactus in a cool, ventilated spot.

Bird of Paradise

Growing Flowers Encyclopedia

1. Soil

Bird of Paradise likes loose, breathable sandy soil, so coarse sand, garden soil and peat soil can be mixed to make a potting mix for Bird of Paradise.

Bird of Paradise is a subtropical flower, so in summer it can be placed on a sunny south-facing balcony or outdoors, but the surrounding ground should be misted properly to maintain air humidity.

Snake Plant

Growing Flowers Encyclopedia

1. Ventilation

Ventilation is the key to healthy growth of the snake plant in summer, so it is best to place it by a well-ventilated windowsill. Once ventilation is poor, the snake plant is prone to soft rot.

When you see that the surface of the snake plant's potting soil has dried, you can water it to keep the soil slightly moist, but be careful that there must never be standing water.
