How to water flowers in summer? Master these four points and it is easily solved
When growing flowers all year round, besides paying attention to reasonable watering in winter, watering plants in summer is also particularly important. If you accidentally miss watering for a few days, by the time you notice, your potted flowers may already have turned into dry hay!
No.1 Identify the signs of plant water shortage
In summer, water evaporates quickly. Since ordinary flower pots have limited capacity, it is very easy for the potting soil to become too dry and cause the potted flowers to wither and die. So in summer, besides watering more, you should also pay attention to your potted flowers. If symptoms such as yellowed and withered leaves or cracked dry potting soil appear, the plant is often already severely short of water.
No.2 Choose the right watering time
In summer, watering should be appropriately increased. Generally, potted flowers in summer should be watered at least once a day, and watering should be done in the early morning when the potting soil temperature is relatively low. When watering, it should be thorough, that is, until water flows out from the bottom of the pot. Be sure to avoid the mistaken practice of watering as soon as you notice the plants are short of water, regardless of the time!
No.3 Do not water with water that has a large temperature difference
Fellow flower growers should still remember that in winter, flowers should be watered at noon on a clear day, choosing warm water. The same applies here. If you directly use cool household filtered water to water flowers, the large temperature difference with the soil will affect the plant's absorption and instead be harmful to the plant.
No.4 Avoiding the heat during high temperatures is also key
In summer, the flowers themselves and the potting soil evaporate quickly, so the plants need to be watered every day. To prevent the plants from losing water too quickly, you can use shade netting or spread dry grass and other methods to avoid the heat, and even control the plants' daily light exposure time. At the same time, sprinkle water around the plants to make the air less dry. All of these are beneficial to plant growth.
Growing flowers in summer is no simpler than growing flowers in winter. Besides proper watering, flower growers should also do a good job of sun protection and heat avoidance. After all, potted flowers and plants grown outdoors have different growing environments.
