Christmas cactus: Christmas cactus enters a semi-dormant state in summer when temperatures exceed 30 degrees, and at this time the plant's demand for water is greatly reduced. What to pay attention to in summer care: control the frequency and amount of watering, watering once every half a month or once a month, you can often spray water around it to increase air humidity, and place it in a ventilated environment where it cannot be exposed to direct sun

Gloxinia: Gloxinia has a lot of fine hairs on its leaves, so when watering, do not get water on the leaves. When the summer temperature exceeds 30 degrees, gloxinia will also enter a semi-dormant state. What to pay attention to in summer care: when watering, check that the surface of the soil is dry to a depth of 3 cm before watering. If all the leaves of the gloxinia have withered, do not worry, that is the gloxinia entering a dormant state

At this time you only need to stop watering. During the dormant period, gloxinia must not be fertilized, must not be exposed to direct sunlight, and should be kept in a cool, ventilated place for care. When the temperature drops, new shoots will begin to grow. In fact, both of these flowers are fairly common in daily life and are also very easy to care for; you just need to pay attention to temperature and watering amount in summer
