Understanding the characteristics of sun-loving plants

As the name implies, sun-loving plants have a higher demand for sunlight. These plants usually have thick leaves, bright colors, and strong drought resistance. Understanding their characteristics is key in the maintenance process.

Choosing the right planting location

Sun-loving plants require plenty of sunlight, so choosing a place with ample sunlight for planting is crucial. Southern or eastern-facing balconies and windowsills are ideal locations for growing sun-loving plants.

Soil selection and improvement

Sun-loving plants have relatively high requirements for soil, needing well-drained and breathable soil. Before planting, sandy soil or the addition of an appropriate amount of sand and decomposed leaf soil can be used for improvement.

Watering and fertilizing

Although sun-loving plants are drought-tolerant, they do not require watering. During the vigorous growth period, the soil should be kept moist but avoid waterlogging. For fertilizing, compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer can be used, applied at intervals.

Pruning and shaping

During the growth process, sun-loving plants need to be pruned regularly to maintain a good shape. When pruning, attention should be paid to retaining the main branches and removing diseased, weak, and dense branches to promote healthy plant growth.

Pest and disease control

Sun-loving plants are prone to pest and disease attacks during growth. Regularly inspect the leaves and stems of the plants, and take timely measures upon discovering pests and diseases. Biopesticides or physical control methods can be chosen to avoid the use of chemical pesticides.

Light adjustment

In high-temperature periods of summer, sun-loving plants may be damaged by direct sunlight. It is appropriate to adjust the position of the plants to avoid direct sunlight or use shade nets for shading.

Referring to industry reports and data

According to the "China Horticulture Industry Annual Report," the horticulture industry in China has shown a trend of rapid development in recent years, with the market demand for sun-loving plants increasing year by year. To meet market demands, horticulture enthusiasts should pay attention to industry dynamics and continuously learn new maintenance techniques.
