What to do with African Violets in the summer
Compared to the common knowledge of most people about flower care, the knowledge about caring for African Violets, especially what to do in the summer, is limited. The following is an introduction for netizens by the website editor.
Because African Violets are not heat-resistant, many flower enthusiasts say that it's hard for African Violets to survive the summer, especially in the humid and hot weather in the south. How can African Violets survive the summer without wilting? Recently, the temperature can reach up to 38°C, but the African Violet on the windowsill (with a tree providing shade in front of it) still looks resilient, even with some blossoms.
For African Violets, the key in summer is shade and ventilation, trying to maintain a cool environment. This is the foundation for helping African Violets survive the summer. We absolutely cannot stubbornly place them on the balcony to endure the heat. This is wrong, as most flower enthusiasts now live in high-rise buildings where the sun is very intense, making it too hard for African Violets to endure.
Therefore, it is recommended that flower enthusiasts place African Violets on the north-facing balcony or in a place not exposed to direct sunlight. We can use our own sensation to judge: if it feels cooler here than on the balcony, it is fine.
African Violets require a higher humidity environment, but this does not mean adding more water. It refers to a higher moisture content in the air, which helps improve the growth rate of African Violets, provided that it is in a well-ventilated environment. If not ventilated, a host of problems arise. Therefore, using bottom watering not only keeps the medium moist but also increases the humidity of the environment.
