Which plants tend to wither in summer? How to get high-temperature flowers through the summer

As soon as summer arrives, the temperature shoots up, and some plants are naturally afraid of heat, unable to withstand the high-temperature"roasting test," drooping their heads or even withering outright. Today I will share a few little tips to help plants get through summer cool and comfortable!

Fuchsia: fuchsia blooms look like little lanterns and are super pretty, but they are a real struggler when it comes to getting through summer. Once the temperature exceeds30°C, its leaves start to turn yellow and drop, and if you do not move it in time, the whole plant can easily die.

Rieger begonia: Rieger begonia flowers are big and vivid, but unfortunately they are too afraid of heat. In the hot and humid summer, its roots and stems rot especially easily, and within a few days they rot into"a lump of mud," which really breaks your heart to see.

Cyclamen: the name cyclamen has a good meaning, and its looks are on point too, but in summer it enters dormancy. If you still water and fertilize at your usual frequency, its corm will be overwhelmed and it will say goodbye to you outright.

Succulents: many people love growing succulents, but summer is practically a life-or-death trial for them! Especially varieties like Echeveria derenbergii and Echeveria elegans. High temperatures plus poor ventilation and the leaves quickly turn to mush, and within a few days only an empty pot is left.

Don't panic! As long as you use the right methods, these"summer certain deaths" can also become "summer tough guys"! First, watering. In summer you cannot just water however you like. Many people think that when it is hot they should pour on lots of water, but that is a huge mistake! For dormant plants like cyclamen and fuchsia, just keep the soil slightly moist, and you can even water once every half month. The timing of watering also matters. Water in the cool morning and evening, and absolutely do not water under the blazing midday sun, otherwise it is like giving the plant a hot bath and it will get heatstroke directly!

Shade and sun protection are also crucial! Move sun-sensitive plants like fuchsia and Rieger begonia to a north-facing balcony, under the shade of a tree, or pull up a shade net to block out50%to70%of the sunlight. If you have a glass room at home, do not stuff plants into it in summer, because that is basically a plant sauna!

Ventilation is even more of a top priority! Summer is stuffy and hot, and if air does not circulate, plants get sick easily. Leave gaps between flower pots, open windows often, or use an electric fan on low speed to get the air moving. If you notice black spots or white powder on the leaves, quickly cut off the diseased leaves and spray some carbendazim to prevent it from spreading to other healthy leaves.

As long as you master these little tips, even in the scorching summer, the flowers and plants we grow can stay healthy and full of life! Next time your plants get heatstroke, you can try these methods.
