Four Seasons Begonia is a very beautiful flower plant that is very popular for its beautiful flowers and different colors. However, in summer, due to high temperatures and dry climate conditions, the growth of Begonia is greatly affected. In order to allow your four-season crabapple to thrive in the summer, we have prepared this detailed maintenance guide for you.
1. Keep the soil moist In the high summer temperatures, the Four Seasons Begonia needs more water to keep it growing. It is important to keep the soil moist. Watering every morning or evening is a more appropriate time period to prevent water from evaporating at noon and causing plants to wither.
2. Pay attention to drainage Although it is necessary to keep the soil moist, excessive watering will also lead to hypoxia in the roots, which will affect the healthy growth of plants. When maintaining the four-season crabapple in summer, pay attention to drainage. You can choose to use materials such as quartz sand or perlite with good permeability to add to the soil to help drainage.
3. Control the temperature The high temperature in summer has an adverse impact on the growth of the Four Seasons Begonia. Temperature needs to be controlled. If Four Seasons Begonia is maintained indoors, place the plant in a well-ventilated location and clean the dust on the leaves regularly. If the Four Seasons Begonia is maintained outdoors, you can choose to maintain it in the shade of a tree.
4. Give enough light Four Seasons Begonia needs enough sunshine to carry out photosynthesis to ensure its healthy growth. When maintaining the four-season crabapple in summer, it is necessary to ensure that the plants can receive at least 6 hours of sunlight every day. If you are maintaining it indoors, you can choose to place it in a sunny window.
5. Covering shade Although the Four Seasons Begonia requires sufficient light, excessive exposure to strong sunlight can also cause harm to the plants. The four seasons crabapple can be shaded at noon in summer to avoid excessive exposure of plants to strong sunlight.
6. Regular fertilization Summer is the peak season for crabapple growth in all seasons, so appropriate fertilization is needed. However, attention should be paid to controlling the amount and frequency of fertilizer. Excessive fertilization can also cause harm to plants. You can choose to use fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements for fertilization.
7. Eliminate weeds in time Summer is the peak season for weed growth. These weeds will not only occupy soil nutrients, but also affect the growth of the four seasons crabapple. It is important to clear weeds regularly.
8. Prevention and control of pests and diseases Summer is the peak season for pests and diseases to breed, so timely prevention and control are needed. You can choose to use chemical agents or organic agents for prevention and control, but you must also pay attention to the impact on the human body and the environment. Regularly inspect the leaves and branches of plants to detect and deal with pests and diseases in a timely manner.
9. Pruning the plant During the growth process of Begonia japonica, the branches and leaves will continue to grow. If pruning is not carried out, the healthy growth of the plant will be affected. Plants need to be pruned regularly to maintain their beautiful shape.
10. Pay attention to the size of the potted plant If the Four Seasons Begonia is grown in a potted plant, you need to pay attention to the size of the potted plant. If the potted plant is too small, it will lead to problems such as lack of nutrients in the soil and limited plant growth. A potted plant of the right size needs to be selected for maintenance.
11. Prevent the wind from blowing Summer is a windy season, and the same is true for Four Seasons Begonia. Strong winds will not only affect the growth of the four seasons crabapple, but also cause plants to wither or break. When maintaining the four-season crabapple in summer, you need to pay attention to preventing the wind from blowing.
12. Appropriate dormancy Under the conditions of high summer temperatures, the four-season crabapple will grow slowly or even stop growing. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. You can adjust the maintenance methods appropriately and sleep in the hot afternoon.
13. Pay attention to plant conditions In the process of maintaining Begonia, it is necessary to observe the condition of plants frequently. If the leaves are found to turn yellow or shrink, timely measures need to be taken. It can be treated by increasing the number of watering times and adjusting the amount and frequency of fertilizer.
14. Reasonably transplanting Begonia is a plant with strong vitality, but it also needs to be transplanted in a timely manner. If the soil in the potted plant is agglomerated or unable to breathe, it needs to be transplanted. Select potted plants and soil of the right size, and pay attention to providing appropriate water and light.
15. Maintaining the four-season crabapple in summer requires attention to many aspects, such as keeping the soil moist, controlling temperature, providing sufficient light, and preventing pests and diseases. Only by comprehensively understanding the growth characteristics and reasonable maintenance of the four seasons crabapple can we let the four seasons crabapple grow healthily and vigorously in summer.
