With the arrival of summer, the high temperature, strong light, and humid climate conditions pose higher requirements for the growth of indoor plants. As an outstanding indoor green plant, how to maintain its vitality in the hot summer has become a focus of many plant enthusiasts. This article will introduce you to the summer maintenance methods of Allen plants, helping your green plants safely survive the summer.

Light management

In summer, the strong sunlight can cause sunburn on the leaves of Allen plants. During summer maintenance, Allen plants should be placed in a semi-shaded environment to avoid direct sunlight. If conditions permit, they can be moved indoors or under a sunshade net. It is necessary to rotate the plants regularly to ensure even light exposure.

Watering skills

In summer, high temperatures cause rapid water evaporation, and Allen plants need sufficient water to maintain growth. However, excessive watering can easily lead to root rot. The following skills should be mastered when watering:

1. Observe the soil: Before watering, check the moisture of the soil first. If the surface of the soil is dry, then proceed with watering.

2. Watering frequency: The watering frequency should be increased in summer, generally watering every 2-3 days.

3. Watering method: Use the pot immersion method or sprinkling method to ensure that the water thoroughly penetrates the soil.

Fertilization management

Summer is the peak growing season for Allen plants, and proper fertilization helps their healthy growth. The following are points to note when fertilizing:

1. Fertilizing time: Fertilize in the morning or evening to avoid fertilizing during high temperatures.

2. Fertilizer type: Choose fertilizers suitable for summer growth, such as compound fertilizers with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

3. Fertilizer amount: Fertilize according to the recommended dosage in the fertilizer instructions to avoid over-fertilizing.

Pest and disease control

In the summer, high temperatures and humidity make Allen plants vulnerable to pests and diseases. Here are some common pests and diseases and their control methods:

1. Leaf spot disease: When spots appear on the leaves, promptly remove the diseased leaves and spray fungicides such as carbendazim.

2. Thrips: Regularly check the leaves. When thrips are found, spray with soapy water or insecticides.

3. Red蜘蛛: When red spiders are found, use miticides for control.

Ventilation

In the summer, high temperatures can lead to poor air circulation indoors, which can negatively affect the growth of Allen plants. It is important to maintain indoor ventilation and perform 1-2 air changes per day to reduce indoor temperature and humidity.

Maintaining Allen plants in the summer requires certain skills. Reasonable lighting, watering, fertilizing, pest and disease control, and ventilation are all key to ensuring the healthy growth of Allen plants. I hope that the summer maintenance methods mentioned in this article can help your Allen plants survive a wonderful summer, full of vitality.
