As summer approaches and temperatures rise, for us flower lovers, how to keep our beloved baby's breath potted plants thriving in the hot summer has become an urgent problem to be solved. Let's explore together how to scientifically care for baby's breath potted plants in the summer.
Choose a suitable planting environment1. Light: Baby's breath prefers semi-shade, and strong direct sunlight should be avoided in the summer. You can choose to care for it indoors or in a semi-shady place. If it is outdoors, a cool and well-ventilated place should be selected.
2. Temperature: The suitable temperature for the growth of baby's breath is between 15-25°C. When it is hot in summer, proper shading should be provided to avoid the impact of high temperatures on the potted plants.
Watering reasonably1. Watering frequency: With high temperatures in summer and rapid evaporation of water, the soil should be kept moist but not overwatered to prevent root rot.
2. Watering method: Use the immersion method to water, allowing the water to evenly penetrate the soil and avoid direct water flow from冲ashing the leaves.
Fertilization management1. Fertilization frequency: With high temperatures in summer and fast growth of baby's breath, fertilize every 15 days or so.
2. Types of fertilizer: Mainly use a balanced compound fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and avoid applying too much nitrogen fertilizer to prevent excessive growth of branches and leaves.
Pest and disease control1. Pest control: Summer is the peak season for pests and diseases, so you should pay attention to the potted plants. Once pests are found, take measures in time and use biological pesticides or low-toxic pesticides for control.
2. Disease control: Maintain good ventilation and prevent the potted plants from getting damp to prevent the occurrence of diseases. Once diseases are found, promptly cut off the diseased branches and use an appropriate amount of pesticides for control.
Pruning and shaping1. Pruning: Summer is the period when baby's breath grows vigorously. It is necessary to prune the withered and weak branches in time to promote the growth of new branches.
2. Shaping: According to personal preferences, you can shape the baby's breath appropriately, such as pruning it into a spherical or round shape.
