3 kinds of flowers that go dormant in summer and start growing like crazy after the arrival of autumn

Anyone who has grown flowers knows that plants have their own growing seasons. Some flowers and plants enter a dormant period at a certain time, which is for better growth later on.

Today, the Flower and Plant Research Institute introduces 3 kinds of plants that grow like crazy after the arrival of autumn.

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana

When Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is exposed to high temperatures in summer, it enters dormancy and stops growing. At this point, even if you give it fertilizer, it will not absorb it, and root rot may occur instead. So in summer, you should reduce the water you give it, and there is even less need to fertilize.

Once summer is over, Kalanchoe blossfeldiana slowly wakes up and then starts growing like crazy. At this time, we need to seize this opportunity and give it a top dressing. The way to apply the top dressing is not to dump on a whole lot of fertilizer all at once; you should water and fertilize slowly, and once it has slowly adapted to the environment, you can gradually increase the frequency of watering and fertilizing.

Mesembryanthemum cordifolium (heart-leaf ice plant)

The leaves of Mesembryanthemum cordifolium are crisp and tender, and its flowers are brightly colored. As soon as autumn arrives, Mesembryanthemum cordifolium enters its growing period. Its leaves are rather thick and fleshy, and its daily water needs are relatively large. In daily care, you should promptly replenish moisture to the leaves of Mesembryanthemum cordifolium.

Every day, take a watering can and spray some water on the leaves to maintain the humidity of the surrounding air, which can help it grow better.

Mesembryanthemum cordifolium likes sunlight. After autumn arrives, you must give it enough sunlight, which not only promotes growth but also makes it bloom more and more flowers.

Schlumbergera (Christmas cactus)

The flowering period of Schlumbergera is in winter, but autumn is its growing period. As the saying goes, before the three armies move, the provisions go first; if the autumn care work is done well, it will bloom well in winter too.

Schlumbergera likes a warm, humid, semi-shaded environment and is not cold-tolerant. In early autumn, it can be grown outdoors; by late autumn, when the temperature difference between day and night is large, it should be moved indoors for growing, with the room temperature kept at around 20-25 degrees.

Pruning

Care work is very important, and pruning work cannot be left out either. If you want to keep plants always in a beautiful state, you need to tend to them often. For succulent plants, you should promptly remove withered leaves; for flowering plants, you should regularly cut off withered branches and spent flowers.

The benefits of pruning

1. Remove diseased branches and protect other parts of the plant from harm

2. Maintain the plant's shape

3. Reduce excessive consumption of nutrients

4. Promote regrowth of the plant
