Let the dormant flowers "sleep" in summer

In the hot summer months, some bulbous flowers and some other flowers grow slowly, their metabolism is weakened, and they adapt to summer heat and 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 the summer maintenance management, we must master the physiology of these flowers, and carefully manage them so that these flowers can “sleep” over the summer smoothly and safely. Reducing light, ventilation and cooling into the summer, the dormant flowers should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight, conditions can be set up shade shelter. Always spray water around pots and floors to reduce air temperature and increase humidity. Timely watering, control of the amount of water in summer flowers does 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, the basin soil is too wet, then it is easy to cause rot. If the water is too little, the roots of the plants are easy to atrophy. Therefore, it is advisable to keep the basin soil slightly moist. Avoid rain, prevent accumulation of water due to the summer rainfall, dormant flowers after the rain by the water in the basin, easily lead to plant roots or ball rot, resulting in evergreen dormant flowers and leaves. Therefore, the potted flowers should be placed in a place sheltered from wind and rain so that they can be air-ventilated and light-transmitting, as well as sheltered from wind and rain. Reduce nutrients, stop fertilization during the summer sleep, the plant's physiological activity weakened, consume less nutrients, so do not need to apply any fertilizer, otherwise it will easily cause rot or rotten balls, resulting in the whole plant withered.
