Growing Flowers in Autumn and Meeting the "Autumn Tiger": Better to Befriend It Than Fight It
Autumn brings coolness, and the flowers can finally show off their full beauty. Gardeners can relax a little too, but every now and then the "autumn tiger" still strikes. Rather than fighting the autumn tiger head-on, it is better to befriend it.
Some gardening friends might say, don't scare me, befriending a tiger? Actually, what Huahua means is that you need to take good care measures to help your plants adapt to the autumn climate.
Add light when needed, shade when needed
Although it is already autumn, the sun is still somewhat fierce at noon, and the climate is rather dry. At this time, it is still better to provide appropriate shade. But as the season goes on, the light will become less and less, especially in the morning and evening when it is quite shady, so you need to supplement light accordingly to promote photosynthesis in the plants.
Tidy up and shape up, then travel light
The summer climate is hot, and you wouldn't dare touch your plants at home no matter what. Their resistance is already weak, and if you perform minor surgery on them, how are they supposed to survive? And so, autumn is a good time to tidy up and shape up, then travel light.
To maintain the plant's shape, you can prune away some dead branches, dense branches, diseased branches and so on. The purpose is to ensure the growth of the plant's dominant branches, and to avoid the whole plant becoming rather weak due to insufficient nutrient supply.
Autumn dryness, autumn dryness, add some water and get fresh green growth
As autumn arrives, the climate is not so hot anymore, but the air humidity is not enough. Many times we feel rather dry. At this time, you should not water with a big gush, but water thoroughly with a small amount, ideally using a spray bottle to water slowly while also misting the leaves.
Nutritional supplements to build up constitution
Autumn is another peak growth period for plants, and also a good time to gather strength and build up their constitution. At this time, you must supplement the nutrients that are lacking, so they can get through the winter more safely.
Usually we can use eco-safe organic nutrient solution, purely plant-fermented, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in a balanced way, with various organic matter, minerals and amino acids added. It can provide plants with the various nutrients needed for growth, sprouting and flowering, promoting the plant to grow vigorously, with a sturdy plant, green leaves and abundant flowers.
