5 kinds of flowers that fear stuffiness most in summer; without ventilation, they cannot be saved
Succulents
After growing succulents for a long time, you should know that lack of light can make succulents look poor, but without ventilation, succulents may die.
Consequences of no ventilation:
If succulents are kept in an unventilated environment for a long time, the soil easily becomes damp and breeds bacteria, leading to black rot and leaf drop.
Ventilation measures:
In summer, you can add a small solar fan for succulents with a timer switch. This can speed up the evaporation of water in the succulent pot soil and at the same time prevent pests and diseases.
Chinese rose
Many flower lovers do not dare to grow Chinese roses on an enclosed balcony, precisely because the balcony has poor ventilation, and Chinese roses are very prone to disease.
Consequences of no ventilation:
The old leaves at the bottom turn yellow. The high summer temperatures plus poor ventilation and a humid, enclosed environment easily breed red spiders and trigger outbreaks of powdery mildew.
Ventilation measures:
In summer, Chinese roses grow very vigorously, and the branches are dense, which affects the ventilation inside the plant. Flower lovers can prune after flowering, cutting off all the leggy branches, thin branches, and weak branches of the Chinese rose to increase air flow.
Azalea
Azaleas fear stuffy heat most in summer. If you want azaleas to pass through summer safely, improving ventilation is the most critical step.
Consequences of no ventilation:
In the hot summer under high temperatures, if ventilation is poor, azalea leaves will dry up and keep dropping.
Ventilation measures:
If conditions allow, flower lovers had better still place azaleas outdoors for care. If that is not possible, you can add a fan beside the azalea to strengthen air circulation.
Christmas cactus
In summer, Christmas cactus enters dormancy. Besides placing it in a cool place for care, ensuring good ventilation is also the key to Christmas cactus successfully getting through summer.
Consequences of no ventilation:
In an environment with poor ventilation, Christmas cactus is prone to outbreaks of red spiders, causing leaves to turn yellow and become thin, and eventually wither and die.
Ventilation measures:
In summer, Christmas cactus needs a cool and ventilated environment. You can place Christmas cactus on a north-facing balcony and open the window. A north-facing balcony with ventilation and scattered light can help Christmas cactus successfully get through summer.
Clivia
In summer, Clivia enters a semi-dormant period, grows relatively slowly, has reduced disease resistance, and is prone to pests and diseases. Doing a good job of ventilation is urgent.
Consequences of no ventilation:
In the hot and stuffy summer, when Clivia is in a poorly ventilated environment, the pot soil easily speeds up bacterial reproduction, the soil is severely short of oxygen, and the roots will rot in 3-5 days.
Ventilation measures:
Place Clivia on the windward side, or use a fan to blow toward the flower pot. Never let the wind blow directly onto Clivia, otherwise the leaves will lose too much water and become dull and soft.
That is all for today's little flower-growing tips.
