5 flowers that fear stuffiness most in summer; without ventilation they will wither and die

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
Summer temperatures are high. If ventilation is poor, it is like throwing the flowers into a "sauna," and the flowers can easily die. Today, Huahua will tell everyone how to ventilate flowers, so let's learn together!

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, bacteria breed, and black rot and leaf drop occur.

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 potting 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 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. 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, with dense branches, 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 should best 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 its dormant period. 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 red spider outbreaks, causing leaves to turn yellow and 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 suffers frequent pests and diseases, so taking good ventilation measures brooks no delay.

Consequences of no ventilation:

In the hot and stuffy summer, when Clivia is in an environment with poor ventilation, the potting soil easily speeds up bacterial reproduction, the soil becomes severely oxygen-deficient, and root rot appears in 3-5 days.

Ventilation measures:

Place Clivia on one side of the air inlet, or use a fan to blow toward the flowerpot. Never let the wind blow directly on Clivia, otherwise the leaves will lose too much water, become dull, and go soft.

That is all for today's flower-growing tips.
