Growing these flowers in summer: poor ventilation can easily suffocate them
Everyone knows that summer temperatures are high, and the stuffy heat makes people irritable, let alone plants. If you grow flowers in summer with poor ventilation, it is basically like putting the plants into a steaming cabinet, which can easily kill them directly. So below, let me introduce to you how to ventilate plants.
Clivia
In summer, Clivia basically enters a semi-dormant state. Summer itself is relatively stuffy and hot, and if it is grown in an environment with poor ventilation, it is very easy for bacteria to breed in the soil and even directly cause root rot. Therefore, when growing Clivia in summer, keep it in a well-ventilated environment. When it is too stuffy and hot, you can use an electric fan aimed at the soil, not the leaves, otherwise the leaves can easily become soft.
Succulents
Succulent leaves are relatively thick and fleshy, making them look cute and adorable, so they are deeply loved by flower enthusiasts. However, during summer cultivation, if they are kept in a non-ventilated state for a long time, bacteria will breed on the succulents, causing the leaves to develop black rot and even directly fall off. Therefore, when growing succulents, you can ventilate more often. When it is hot, fan the succulents with a fan. This can prevent bacteria from breeding on the succulents and help them grow better.
Christmas cactus
Christmas cactus leaves are relatively thick and fleshy and it blooms with relatively bright flowers, but in summer the Christmas cactus basically enters a dormant period. If it is grown in a poorly ventilated environment for a long time, it is easy for red spiders to breed on it, the leaves turn yellow, and it may even die directly. Therefore, when growing it in summer, it needs to be kept in a cool and ventilated environment.
Azalea
Azaleas have luxuriant branches and leaves, remain evergreen all year round, and have relatively vivid flowers, giving them high ornamental value. In summer, azaleas are most afraid of a stuffy and hot environment. If ventilation is not smooth, the leaves will dry up and fall off. Therefore, if growing azaleas in summer, it is best to grow them outdoors. If that is not possible, you can place an electric fan nearby, which can increase air circulation.
