Potted plants dry out and die easily when blown directly by air conditioning; even the easiest-to-grow flowers must be moved away at once

Midsummer has arrived, and many places are welcoming high-temperature weather, especially southern cities and the country's furnace cities. The midday sun's scorching heat is truly unpleasant, and air-conditioned rooms are very popular, but for household potted plants, they do not like being blown by air conditioning so much.

Everyone knows that air conditioning, whether cooling or heating, changes the temperature and then draws moisture out of the air; likewise, in summer, growing flowers on central air conditioning units, or having air conditioning blowing directly at potted plants, is a dehydration process for the plants. Although the temperature of the plants' growing environment becomes suitable, it is also killing the plants, because this dehydration happens very quickly. Simply put, after the air conditioner is turned on, you have all seen the dripping speed of the drain pipe, right? That water is all moisture from the indoor air.

Therefore, do not place flowers on central air conditioning units, not even the easiest-to-grow pothos, because the plants' moisture is easily carried away, and the most serious result is dehydration and death; also, when the air conditioner is on, if any flowers are being blown directly, move the potted plants away and do not let the cold air blow directly on them. On one hand, it causes moisture loss; on the other hand, the temperature difference is too great. For some flowers with developing flower buds, they originally could bloom, but in the end, because of the sudden change in the temperature difference of the growing environment, they will also fail to bloom.

So when summer temperatures are relatively high, how should you grow flowers? Here are 3 suggestions:

1. For indoor flowers, move them all indoors to grow, but also move them to a place a little farther from the air conditioner, and be sure to avoid direct blowing from the air conditioner. Otherwise, too much moisture is carried away, which will cause the plants to dehydrate.

2. In addition to normal watering, also spray water on the leaves according to the plant's own condition to increase humidity and prevent yellowing leaves and leaf drop. Especially for some foliage plants: pothos, spider plant, clivia, dumb cane, etc., be sure to remember to spray the plant leaves regularly to increase leaf humidity, and at the same time it can also increase the plant's ornamental value.

3. Control fertilizing. When the temperature is too high, many plants will show slow growth, and some plants may even go dormant. At this time, you must control fertilizing. If you still fertilize according to the previous normal state, it will inevitably cause fertilizer damage and death to the plants; during this period, it is best to stop fertilizing, or apply thin fertilizer frequently.

When growing flowers in an air-conditioned room in summer, remember not to let potted plants be blown directly by the air conditioner, otherwise even the easiest-to-grow flowers will be blown to death!
