What are the care methods for common flowers in summer?

Although summer is hot, it is also the season when many flowers bloom, and summer care for flowers is very important.

The following are summer care methods for common flowering plants.

Jasmine

Summer is the peak blooming period for jasmine. Spraying the leaf surface with clean water on sunny days can noticeably stimulate flowering. During this period, water and fertilizer must be sufficient to promote abundant flowers and lush leaves.

Orchid

Summer is the peak growing season for orchids, so the water and nutrients needed for growth must be ensured. In the high-temperature plum rain season, anthracnose is prone to occur. In addition to maintaining a ventilated and well-lit environment, when disease occurs, thiophanate can be used to spray once every 10 days for treatment.

Azalea

Growth is slow in summer, and the plant is in a semi-dormant state. Avoid scorching sun exposure and excessive fertilization, and shade should be provided. Water 1 to 2 times daily, and spray water on the leaves and ground to retain moisture and lower the temperature.

Tree peony

It fears heat and moisture. In summer, the plant should be placed in a ventilated and cool place. There is no need to water too much; keeping the potting soil moist is sufficient to avoid root rot.

Rose

It likes fertilizer and water, so a sufficient supply of water and fertilizer must be ensured. Apply once every half month with decomposed soybean cake water, and stop fertilizing in mid-July. In summer, black spot and powdery mildew are prone to occur. For the former, use Bordeaux mixture; for the latter, use carbendazim, spraying once every half month for prevention and control.

Milan

It likes light and heat, and grows vigorously in summer. Before and after flowering, apply once every 10 days with dilute alum fertilizer water, and frequently spray water on the leaf surface.
