Which flowers are not suitable for growing or buying in summer?

Once summer arrives, many people want to add some plants and flowers to their home to cool down the stuffy summer heat. But not all plants are suitable for growing or buying in summer! Today let's talk about those "trap" flowers you must never touch in summer, so we don't waste our hard-earned money!

Succulents:Succulents, many people think the chubby succulents are cute and want to buy them when they see them in summer. But did you know? The high temperature and high humidity of summer are simply hell mode for succulents! Above 30°C, most succulents enter a dormant period, and at this time their root absorption capacity weakens, so too much watering easily causes root rot and black rot, while too little watering makes them shrivel and wrinkle. And the summer sun is so harsh and scorching that with one careless moment the succulents get sunburned into "roast meat." Even if you tend to them carefully, only a few can survive the summer, so beginners really shouldn't challenge succulents in summer!

Fuchsia:

Rieger begonia:Rieger begonia is also a minefield to avoid in summer. Its flowers are big and vivid with super high ornamental value, but its root system is especially fragile. Once the temperature rises in summer, if the potting soil is even slightly not breathable, the roots get suffocated. And Rieger begonia also fears high temperature and high humidity; in summer too much watering causes root rot, too little watering makes it dry up, and the leaves easily develop spots. Even if you are a veteran flower grower, keeping Rieger begonia in summer keeps you on edge, so beginners should stay out of it even more; buying it only after it cools down in autumn is the reliable choice.

Cyclamen:Cyclamen is also a plant not suitable for growing in summer. Cyclamen blooms beautifully in winter and spring, but in summer it enters a dormant state. When the summer temperature is too high, its tubers easily rot, and it also easily gets pests. If you buy cyclamen in summer, you can basically only watch it wither day by day, and you won't get to appreciate its blooming at all.

Clematis:There are also some varieties of clematis that easily develop stem wilt during summer high temperatures, with leaves turning yellow and withering, and the whole plant looking droopy. Moreover, in summer the clematis growth rate slows down, and even bought home it is hard for it to quickly grow new branches and leaves, greatly reducing its ornamental value.

So when buying flowers in summer you must keep your eyes peeled! When you come across the plants above, first hold back and don't act on impulse; wait until the weather cools down before bringing them home. In summer we can choose some heat-tolerant and sun-tolerant plants, such as moss rose, blue snowflake (Plumbago auriculata), and jasmine, which are easy to grow and can bloom, making you feel great just looking at them!
