6 flowers even prettier than pothos and gardenia - you'll really regret not growing them in summer

Rose

Bloom period: May-October

Key to summer care: ventilation

1. Summer can easily get hot and stuffy, so roses grown on a balcony must be kept well ventilated. As long as ventilation is good, there is no fear no matter how high the temperature gets.

2. Water and fertilizer

Summer temperatures are high, so generally water once a day; in unusually hot weather, water once in the morning and once in the evening. In weather around 30 degrees, it is best not to fertilize.

Wax begonia

Bloom period: blooms year-round

Key to summer care: watering

1. In summer, keep the potting soil of wax begonia slightly moist. Water immediately once the potting soil turns pale; do not use too much water, just give a circle of water along the edge of the pot.

2. Fertilizing after flowering:

After flowering in summer, you can remove the spent flowers and apply rotted, diluted cake fertilizer water, once a week for two consecutive times. But once the temperature reaches above 30 degrees, wax begonia enters its dormant period and fertilizing must stop.

Milan

Bloom period: May-December

Key to summer care: light

1. Milan is extremely light-loving, commonly known as "can't be sunned to death", so in summer place it on a south-facing balcony with ample light or outdoors in a spot with good light, so it can fully receive sunlight.

2. Watering

Insert a chopstick into the potting soil; when watering, pull it out and take a look - if the chopstick has dried completely, water it. When watering, you can add a little ferrous sulfate solution to maintain the soil's acidity.

Canna lily

Bloom period: June-October (northern regions)

Key to summer care: watering

1. In summer the canna lily grows vigorously, so it can be watered once a day. The water should be left indoors beforehand to warm up; if you water the canna lily with water that is too cold, the edges of its leaves will dry up.

2. Temperature

The most suitable temperature for canna lily growth is between 15-28 degrees. When it is flowering, to prolong the bloom period, you can place the canna lily in a relatively cool spot and improve ventilation.

Jasmine

Bloom period: May-August

Key to summer care: light

1. Jasmine is extremely light-loving; the better and more abundant the light, the better jasmine grows and the more it naturally blooms, so try to grow jasmine outdoors where it can receive ample sunlight.

2. Pruning after flowering

After jasmine finishes blooming, cut off the spent flowers together with the branches; dead branches and thin, weak branches should also be cut off, so that jasmine can differentiate new buds faster and bloom again.

Clematis

Bloom period: June-September

Key to summer care: controlling thrips

1. Thrips will turn the new branches and tender leaves of clematis black, which both affects its ornamental value and harms the health of the clematis. After a thrips outbreak, you can spray with pidichongling (imidacloprid), once every 3 days for 3 consecutive times.

2. Ventilation

Clematis grown in a poorly ventilated environment blooms very little. So it is best to grow clematis outdoors with good ventilation.
