How to water the flowers in hot weather

It is hot in summer, so watering outdoor potted flowers should be avoided within a few hours before and after noon, so as to prevent the big difference between water temperature and soil temperature from harming the roots. It is suggested to water before 10 in the morning and after 16 in the afternoon. In case of continuous rainfall, the flowerpot should be inspected in time after the rain, and the accumulated water should be poured out in time, and the soil in the pot should be supplemented after it is slightly dried to avoid root rot.

In the high temperature climate in summer, the appropriate watering frequency and method should be selected according to the types of flowers.

Flowers that enter dormancy and semi-dormancy at high temperature, such as upside-down golden bell, Clivia, calla lily, rhododendron, begonia, longevity flower, cactus, geranium, begonia, crab claw orchid, purslane, aloe and so on. Afraid of heat, the growth activity basically stops in a dormant or semi-dormant state under the high temperature climate conditions in summer. Too much watering can easily lead to flowers rotting roots. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce watering, keep the soil moist and pay attention to shade and ventilation.

For flowers that go into deep dormancy at high temperature, such as cyclamen, Lycoris radiata, Ranunculus, Paeonia lactiflora, etc. Stop watering, move to the shade and keep the soil not too dry.

Suitable for flowers that thrive in summer, especially foliage flowers, such as Eupatorium odoratum, Hulk, lemon, pomegranate, bauhinia, etc. , not only to increase the amount of water, increase the number of watering, but also to properly spray water on the leaves. Once the basin soil is found to be too dry and the leaves wilt, water should be sprayed on the leaves first, and then the roots should be watered after the leaves are upright. Don't water the roots violently.
