New Experience in Summer Flower Protection and High-Yield Cultivation Techniques for Edible Fungi

Flowers by nature prefer cool conditions and fear high temperatures, so they can be placed under a cool shed or in the shade of trees, and a new high-fat film can be sprayed on the leaf surfaces to reduce water transpiration; hibiscus, Chinese rose, osmanthus and pomegranate need sufficient sunlight; whereas asparagus fern, gardenia and azalea fear strong light and should be placed in a slightly shaded spot; gloxinia, Taiwan bamboo and begonia avoid direct sunlight and can be cultivated in a cool place.

In summer, water evaporates quickly, so watering should be done in time, but watering must also be moderate: if not enough is given, the soil will become too dry, and the flowers will wilt, with leaves turning yellow and dropping off; if too much is given, the soil will be too wet and root rot may easily occur, or even death. Along with watering, a new high-fat film can be sprayed on the flowers at the appropriate time to protect the moisture of the seedling body and improve the activity of the plant's drought-resistance factors and its own drought-resistance capacity. After watering, the soil should be loosened frequently to prevent the soil from becoming compacted and affecting flower growth.

In summer, with high temperatures and high humidity, the most common diseases during the flower growing period include powdery mildew, anthracnose, gray mold, leaf spot, nematode disease and bacterial soft rot; at the early stage of pathogen damage, targeted agents plus Husu Dajiangjun should be used for control, enhancing plant resistance and immune vitality, protecting their healthy growth and lush development.
