Which flowers are afraid of heat? 6 flowers you cannot grow in summer
In the world of flowers, not all blooms can thrive in the scorching summer. For gardening enthusiasts, knowing which flowers are afraid of heat and need to be avoided in summer is the key to growing them well. Today I will share a 6 guide to avoiding pitfalls with flowers that cannot be grown in summer.
The first is the fuchsia. Its flowers are like delicate little bells, very charming. But it is famously afraid of heat, and once the temperature exceeds 30℃
Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum) is also a"delicate guest"in summer. As the temperature rises, cyclamen gradually enters a dormant state. At this point its growth basically stops, and its demand for water and nutrients drops sharply. If you do not pay attention to controlling watering and fertilizing, the tuber can easily rot.
Jingye, a type of succulent, must be carefully tended in summer. Jingye is prone to black rot at high temperatures, and it is highly sensitive to moisture. Too much watering in summer combined with a stuffy environment will quickly"kill"Jingye, so for Jingye summer is a season full of challenges.
Large-flowered geranium (Pelargonium) is likewise not suitable for growing in summer. At high temperatures it is prone to pests and diseases, especially stem rot, which can cause the plant to die if you are not careful. Moreover, geranium grows slowly in summer and its flowering performance is poor.
Although Margaret (Argyranthemum frutescens) can bloom into a ball of flowers in spring, summer is its"nightmare"
The last one to mention is Rieger begonia. Its requirements for temperature and humidity are both rather strict, and the high-temperature, high-humidity environment of summer very easily triggers various diseases. The leaves easily turn yellow and rot, and the flowers also fade very quickly.
In short, growing flowers requires following their nature and understanding their likes and fears. By avoiding these heat-fearing flowers and choosing varieties more suitable for summer care, we can keep our gardens full of life in summer. I hope this guide to avoiding pitfalls can help everyone take fewer detours on the road of growing flowers and fully enjoy the beauty that flowers bring.
