During the hot summer months, some bulbous flowers and other flowers grow slowly, their metabolism is weakened, and they adapt to the summer heat in a dormant manner. Such as Begonia, Clivia, Geranium, etc. dormant after the leaves remain green, known as dormant evergreen; daffodils, hyacinths, cyclamen, tulips and other flowers after the dormancy leaves light, known as deciduous dormancy. Therefore, in summer management, the physiology of these flowers must be mastered and carefully managed in order to make these flowers a smooth summer.
First, reduce lighting and enhance ventilation. After entering the summer, the dormant flowers should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. Conditional awnings can be built, and water is often sprayed around the pots to reduce the temperature and increase the humidity.
Second, timely watering, control of water. Hypnotic flowers do not require high water content, and the amount of watering must be strictly controlled. Because the flower is in a dormant or semi-dormant state, its root activity is weak. If the water is too much and the soil is too wet, it will easily lead to rot. If the water is too little, it will easily make the roots of plants atrophy. Therefore, it is advisable to keep the basin soil slightly moist.
Third, avoid rain and prevent water accumulation. Due to the large amount of rain in summer, dormant flowers are subject to water accumulation in the basin after rain, which can easily cause rot in the roots or bulbs of the plants, resulting in deciduous evergreen flowers. Therefore, the potted flowers should be placed in sheltered areas so that they can be air-ventilated and sheltered from wind and rain.
