Autumn plant care tips, a reminder for everyone once more

After Chushu (End of Heat), the weather really will gradually turn cooler. At this point of temperature change, flowers and plants need their owner's attentive care to get through it safely. Potted flowers are, after all, like flowers in a greenhouse; for autumn care, every plant parent must be diligent.

Light

Not many potted flowers can withstand the scorching summer sun, so they were either kept indoors or shielded with thick shade nets. Now you can move them out, and the shade nets can be taken down too.

Let them

receive plenty of light

Of course, this is for flower varieties that like light but are not very tolerant of strong sun. If they are foliage plants, then they only need morning and evening light. As for the midday sun, avoid it if you can, otherwise they really may get scorched.

Pruning

Pruning is also an important task in autumn potted plant management.

Most flowers, except varieties that bloom in winter and early spring, can be pruned and trimmed in autumn. For example: jasmine, crape myrtle, pomegranate, and so on. When pruning, you should

cut off dead branches, diseased branches, overly dense branches, and leggy branches

, reducing nutrient consumption and laying a good foundation for the potted plants to overwinter.

Topdressing

In September the weather is cooler, and many potted plants are in a new period of vigorous growth. At this time, topdressing can be done to promote plant growth and flowering. For example, cyclamen, clivia, Christmas cactus, azalea, and others have passed their dormant period and are beginning their peak growth season, so from autumn to blooming at Spring Festival, you should

strengthen fertilizer and water management

, and appropriately increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to help flower bud formation.

For some flower varieties that go dormant in winter, after October you should gradually reduce watering and stop fertilizing, to avoid root rot from too much water. Too much fertilizer easily causes leggy growth, which is unfavorable for overwintering.

Cuttings

Autumn is a very favorable season for cuttings. You can combine it with pruning

and use the pruned branches for cuttings

Autumn is also a good season for sowing. Friends who love herbaceous flowers can start taking action. Once you buy the seeds, you can experience what it feels like to be a flower farmer. As long as you care for them properly, next year you will harvest lovely little lives.
