Which flowers are suitable for dry cultivation in summer? An analysis of why fresh flowers wither

We are about to enter the first fu period of summer, when temperatures rise day by day and water evaporates faster at noon than at any other time. Logically, watering flowers should be done more frequently. However, this also depends on the variety, because some flowers are strange: in summer they actually need to be kept dry, and extra watering instead causes problems such as rot, black rot, and root rot, making the situation very serious.

Cyclamen

Cyclamen flowers are shaped like rabbit ears, so in flower markets some vendors also call it rabbit ear flower, rabbit flower, or bonfire flower. It has diverse flower colors and is a perennial plant in the Primulaceae family, Cyclamen genus. Its flowering period can last from January all the way to May, so during the New Year season many flower lovers buy several pots to take home.

In terms of care, it enters dormancy during the high temperatures of summer. Usually the upper part of the plant appears withered and in a false-dead state, with only the tuberous root system kept alive. At this time its vitality is not high, so do not water it more. It is best to stop watering or water once a month, and keep it in a cool, ventilated place.

Gloxinia

Gloxinia is also called falling snow mud. Its stems are relatively short and small, but after the flowers bloom they are very large, and the leaves are deep green, making the whole plant look very appealing.

In terms of care, it enters dormancy when summer exceeds 30 degrees. If the gloxinia still has some green leaves, then follow the watering rule of water when dry and stop when wet, that is, water only after the soil surface has dried completely. If the leaves have already dried up, it means you should water once a month, and do not water frequently.

Hyacinth

Hyacinth originates from the Mediterranean coast and the Asia Minor region. Its flower colors are not only brilliant and colorful, but it also naturally carries a fresh fragrance. Because of its long flowering period (it enters its flowering period from February to April each year), many wedding companies also use it as a flower ball.

In terms of care, it begins to wither starting in June, and this is the dormant state. At this time it should not be left in the pot. It is best to dig out the bulbs and store them in a cool, ventilated place, then replant them when the climate is suitable. If you are lazy and do not want to dig them out and only leave them in the flower pot, then you must control the watering rhythm, and watering about once every half month is enough.
