Follow these 6 tips for caring for flowers in autumn, and next year they will bloom all over the pot

Many people think that once autumn arrives and the weather starts to turn cool, their flowers have taken a "reassurance pill" and finally made it through summer, this "tribulation," and the flower owner can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Don't be in such a hurry to relax, let Huahua explain. Although autumn is cool, there are still big differences within it. In early autumn the temperature is only a little lower than in summer; by mid-autumn the temperature is at its most suitable; by late autumn, as it begins preparing to transition into winter, the temperature starts to drop even lower.

So autumn is also a season that cannot be ignored. But no worries, today Huahua will tell everyone how to care for flowers in autumn so that the plants can safely enter their dormant period.

1. Repot the flowers

In autumn, many flowers have actually already finished their blooming period. At this time, you might as well repot the flowers and change the soil at the same time. The soil should be loose and breathable. When transplanting, remember to check the plant's roots and prune away any rotten roots. When watering for the first time, remember to water thoroughly.

2. Prune appropriately

Above we mentioned pruning rotten roots, but actually the branches and stems should be pruned too. In autumn the blooming period has passed, and leaving too many useless branches only wastes the plant's nutrients. That is to say, if there are many stray branches, the plant gives its daily nutrients to the branches, and then it will not have the strength to get through winter.

3. Increase light exposure

Autumn sunlight is not like summer sunlight; it is not so harsh and intense. At this time you can let the plants bask in more sunlight. But Huahua still has to remind everyone that if the sun in your area is still very strong, you still need to provide shade.

4. Reduce watering

Watering in autumn should follow the principle of preferring dry over wet. In autumn the temperature drops, so water evaporates less, so you should reduce the amount of watering to prevent waterlogging and root rot.

5. Fertilize appropriately

By autumn, many flowers have already passed their blooming period. Plants that have finished blooming have already lost too many nutrients, so you should apply fertilizer in time. Applying fertilizer in time also has another purpose: to store up nutrients in advance for getting through winter. After the weather gets colder, the plants will enter a dormant period and will find it even harder to absorb nutrients, so the dormant-period nutrients must be stored up before that.

6. Pests and diseases and cold protection measures

There is no need to talk about the harm caused by pests and diseases, and autumn happens to be a high-incidence season for pests and diseases. Everyone should remember to prevent pests and diseases in time, and treat them well before bringing the flowers indoors. You must never bring plants with pests and diseases into the house. Observe them regularly and spray insect-prevention liquid. Also pay attention to cold protection. You can control the temperature according to your own plant's habits and bring it indoors early.

You can take care of your flowers according to these points listed by Huahua. I hope everyone's plants can all get through winter safely~
