Although the Beginning of Autumn has arrived, the autumn tiger is still baring its fangs, with no sign of cooling down at all. The blazing sun shines all day long, hot enough that the flowers get a sweat bath even while standing still. It is truly hard to endure.

Although the dog days have only the last fu period left, it is still unbearably hot. We humans are already this hot, so surely the plants everyone grows feel just as miserable? Today Huahua will discuss with everyone how to cool things down in summer.

Do not water too "diligently"

Even though it is hot weather, do not go watering the plants for no reason. Plants are not people; drinking too much water will not help them but will harm them. Usually we just need to remember the watering principles for the plants at home, and judge by the soil moisture whether the plant is truly short of water.

Watering should also be "on schedule"

Scientific watering is very important. Do not choose noon as the watering time; this is when the plant's transpiration is at its strongest, and watering at this time can easily make the plant wilt, especially in summer, so do not take the risk. The best watering times are before 8 a.m. and before 6 p.m.

To cool things down, you need to be "diligent"

Because plants are very delicate, they need sufficient light but must not be excessively exposed to the sun, which would cause a series of problems. So if we want to cool the plants down, we need to be diligent about this. How exactly are we diligent? By frequently changing the plants' location. At hot noon, we might move the plants indoors, place them in a cool spot, or put them in a semi-shaded place.

Cooling and ventilation are very important

Ventilation is also a very effective way to lower the temperature. The simplest method is to place the plants at a cool air vent; the vent must not be a place in direct sunlight, to prevent the plants from being scorched by too much sunlight. You can also put a dark shade cloth over the top of the plants; this cloth is best if it is perforated and breathable, so it can block part of the sunlight while still letting the plants breathe, achieving two things at once.

It is not that exaggerated; adjust it yourself according to the size of the plants at home.

Cooling also needs a "magic tool"

This magic tool is - a small spray bottle. Do not underestimate this little spray bottle; when you have nothing to do, use it to water the plants, and it is really useful. The water droplets sprayed by this kind of bottle are fine and delicate, and even after spraying for a while it will not be too much; it also cools the plants very well, and it is very practical.

In short, want to cool down your plants? Remember two things: scientific watering and scientific ventilation. Master the balance of these two points, and your beloved flowers can smoothly get through this last "fu period", and then properly welcome the autumn with its suitable climate and temperature~ Have you mastered these two little tips?
