Don't mess around with your flowers in summer; pay attention to this one thing if you want them to thrive more and more

After the dog days of summer arrive, the weather gets hotter and hotter, but plenty of flower lovers still can't resist the urge to fuss over their plants, now watering them, now giving them a heavy pruning. Mess around like this in summer, and you might as well just wait to collect empty pots!

These 2 kinds of flowers will die instantly if you repot them now!

For most flowers, the best time to repot is spring; repotting in time is better for blooming in spring. Summer is hot and humid, so repotting itself is unsuitable, and if you do it improperly, the plant will die on you in no time!

Repot a clivia carelessly, and you might as well wait to collect its corpse!

When the temperature reaches 30°C, clivia enters its dormant period, and repotting at this time really damages its vitality. However, if a clivia has root rot, no matter how hot the weather is, you still have to trim the roots and repot it!

Correct repotting steps:

1. If you find that a clivia has root rot, you must trim the roots, otherwise the clivia will slowly rot and eventually die.

2. After taking the clivia out of its pot, first clean all the soil off the roots; you can rinse them in clean water.

3. After cleaning the roots, use sterilized scissors to cut off all the rotted roots and shriveled, hollow roots. After cutting, soak them in potassium permanganate solution for 20 minutes, then place them in a well-ventilated spot to dry.

4. The soil for replanting clivia should be mainly leaf mold and pine needles, plus a small amount of river sand and charcoal residue; this kind of soil helps the clivia recover.

Repot a succulent without trimming the roots, and black rot and mushiness will come knocking!

Summer is the gate of death for succulents; you have to be careful with them normally, and if you can avoid repotting, then don't repot! But plenty of succulent lovers still can't control their urge to buy succulents, and once bought, they have to trim the roots and pot them up.

Correct root-trimming and potting steps:

1. Succulents just bought are basically bare-rooted, and the roots are very dry, so they need to be trimmed before potting, otherwise the survival rate is very low.

2. The simplest way to trim the roots of a newly bought succulent is to cut off all the fibrous roots and keep only the sturdy main root.

3. After trimming, soak them in carbendazim solution, then place them in a cool, ventilated spot to dry overnight.

4. For the soil mix, you can mix peat soil and coarse sand at a 1:1 ratio, then add a small amount of akadama, which helps the succulent adjust to its pot as quickly as possible.

These 2 kinds of flowers must not be heavily pruned now!

Many flowers have now finished blooming, and flower lovers think that pruning now is the only way the plants can safely get through summer. Pruning is fine, but heavy pruning will badly damage the plant's vitality, making it very hard for it to get through the hot days!

Heavily prune a rose in summer, and don't expect to see flowers in autumn!

By now roses are basically at the stage where their flowers have faded; heavy pruning at this time takes a relatively long time to recover from and affects flower viewing in autumn. If you prune a young rose seedling, it's no different from seeking its death!

Correct pruning method:

1. After a batch of flowers finishes blooming, prune them all at once, making a 45-degree inward slanting cut 0.5 cm above the 3rd leaf; this can encourage a second round of blooming.

2. If it's a multi-headed flower, you can make an inward slanting cut 0.5 cm above the 5th leaf. This encourages more branches to grow and more flower buds to form.

3. After blooming, cut off all the lignified old, useless branches from the base; don't leave half of them. When pruning healthy branches, don't cut them too short, otherwise it will be hard for them to bloom quickly.

4. The most important part of post-bloom pruning for roses is removing blind branches, which not only reduces nutrient consumption but also improves ventilation, helping the rose get through summer.

Heavily prune jasmine in summer, and one careless moment will kill them all!

Many flower lovers think jasmine is in its peak growing season now, so heavy pruning shouldn't be a problem, right? Heavily pruning jasmine in summer first of all affects blooming, and if care after pruning isn't careful, jasmine can easily fail to recover and die!

Correct pruning method:

1. In summer, jasmine is mainly pruned after blooming, cutting off spent flowers and branches with spent calyxes.

2. To help the plant grow evenly, sprout new buds, and develop flower buds, sometimes it is necessary to prune some buds that have not yet matured or bloomed.

3. When pruning, any leggy branches that do not develop flower buds must be cut off promptly, and note that the retained bud nodes should match the height of the other bud nodes.

These 2 kinds of flowers will die immediately without sunlight!

The summer sun is especially harsh; even people outside feel their skin sting from the sun. But some flowers grow more vigorously the more they are exposed to the sun, and actually tend to grow poorly without it.

The more sun a moss rose gets, the more it bursts out of its pot!

Moss rose is famously unafraid of the sun, and the more sun it gets, the more easily it bursts out of its pot. If you put it in a spot with poor light, it easily grows leggy, and over time its stems will dry up and die!

Correct care method:

1. Put the moss rose on a balcony with plenty of light; the more intense the sunlight, the more explosively it can bloom, and there's no need to worry that the sun will scorch it to death.

2. Strong direct sunlight speeds up the evaporation of water in the potting soil, so you must water the moss rose once every day, otherwise its roots can easily dry up and die.

The more sun coin grass gets, the more vigorously it grows!

The best growing environment for coin grass is plenty of water and plenty of sun. Without sun, coin grass will gradually wilt and turn yellow, and eventually all its stems will bend and die.

Correct care method:

1. Flower lovers who have the conditions can put coin grass outdoors in a sunny, unobstructed spot; at the very least, give it the balcony with the best light.

2. Watering coin grass in summer is very simple; just top it up whenever you notice the water level has dropped. To help it grow better, you can put a few granules of compound fertilizer in the water!

These 2 kinds of flowers will die immediately if exposed to the sun now!

Although some flowers grow more vigorously the more they are exposed to the sun, for shade-loving flowers, exposing them to strong summer sun is simply asking for their lives!

Expose an asparagus fern to too much sun, and it will turn yellow and die outright!

Asparagus fern is a green plant that likes a cool, shady environment; strong direct sunlight will cause its leaves to turn yellow and dry, and over time it will wither and die.

Correct care method:

1. In summer, place the asparagus fern indoors in a spot with plenty of scattered light. If its leaves accidentally turn yellow and dry from direct sunlight, immediately cut off the yellow leaves, and after pruning reduce the amount of watering.

2. Asparagus fern likes a well-ventilated, humid environment; stuffy, dry conditions will also cause its leaves to turn yellow. At home, pay more attention to ventilation, and mist around the asparagus fern every day to maintain humidity.

Put a maranta in the sun, and it will immediately wither until only the pot is left!

The most suitable growing environment for maranta is a semi-shady one; forcing it into the light makes it very easy for its leaves to get scorched, and after several days of blazing sun, it will wither until only the pot is left!

Correct care method:

1. In summer, it is best to put the maranta indoors where there is no direct sunlight, and be careful not to place it at a window draft; summer brings dry, hot wind, which easily causes maranta leaves to scorch and wither.

2. Maranta likes a high-humidity environment, but the potting soil must not be too wet, otherwise the roots easily rot. To maintain high humidity, you can mist around the maranta morning and evening.

These 3 kinds of flowers will die immediately if overwatered!

Plenty of flower lovers think that since water evaporates so vigorously in summer, they should just keep pouring water into the pot, and as a result all the flowers are watered to death!

Water a geranium too much, and root rot and black rot will come knocking!

Geraniums enter a dormant period in summer, and their water needs are not as great as in spring. If you water too much and don't ventilate in time, geraniums easily rot at the roots and die.

Correct watering method:

1. A fresh, dry environment is the most critical condition for geraniums to get through summer. So before watering, flower lovers must first weigh the pot, and only water once the pot feels very light.

2. In summer, it is best to water using the soaking method, which effectively prevents water from accumulating in the potting soil. However, don't soak for too long; it's enough to make sure the lower half of the potting soil is thoroughly wet.

Let a cyclamen's potting soil get waterlogged, and its roots and stems will immediately rot!

The roots and stems of cyclamen are fleshy, so once it is overwatered in summer and the potting soil becomes waterlogged, it will die from rotted roots and stems.

Correct watering method:

1. When caring for cyclamen in summer, better dry than wet. Before watering, you can insert the first two joints of your index finger into the soil; if it feels slightly moist, that means the water level is moderate and there is no need to water.

2. Normally keep the cyclamen in a cool, ventilated spot. For flower lovers who can't gauge watering frequency, you can put a tray under the cyclamen pot, pour in a thin layer of water, and let it absorb the water on its own.

Water a fuchsia too much, and wait to collect dry stems and an empty pot!

Fuchsia is called "certain death in summer"; if you water just slightly improperly, it will immediately wither at the stems and die outright!

Correct watering method:

1. If you want a fuchsia to safely get through summer, you must control the amount of water; water only once the potting soil has dried and turned whitish. When the temperature is very high, spray some water on the ground around the pot.

2. In summer, fuchsia's biggest taboo is getting rained on; once it gets rained on, it cannot be saved. So in summer, take good rain-shelter measures for fuchsia.
