What flowers go dormant in the summer?
Here is a sharing of which flowers go dormant in summer and an introduction to the green plants and flowers that enter the dormant period in summer. Please see the detailed introduction below.
When flowers encounter the hot summer, they may exhibit a state of no growth, but this doesn't mean they are dead. They have entered a dormant period, which is a stage for strengthening roots and branches to ensure the quality of the next blooming or growth. Care should be taken during this period; over-fertilizing or over-watering can easily lead to root rot and yellow leaves.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera may not be impressive in appearance, but it contains endless beauty. It is a perennial succulent herb with very thick and juicy leaves, strong vitality, and can remain lush and vigorous even without watering for a month. It is not disturbed by adverse external environments, symbolizing eternal youth.
Aloe Vera has super strong drought resistance. Never doubt this ability. Do not water too frequently, as it may easily rot and be harmful to growth. In the summer, it is also prone to entering a dormant period, and it is even more important to reduce watering and stop fertilizing until the autumn cools down and care can be resumed.
Cactus
The cactus, also known as the grass ball, is native to the dry and rainless areas of South America. Most cacti are very round, like a ball, but the exterior is covered with many hard spines, hence the name cactus.
What flowers go dormant in the summer?
There are many species of cacti, the most common being the绯花玉 (feihua yu) and 玉翁 (yu weng). Summer is their blooming season; they prefer to grow in environments with plenty of sunlight, are relatively heat and sun-resistant, but when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, they will enter a dormant state to survive. At this time, it is essential to reduce watering and stop fertilizing, or else the cactus may rot. Although they can tolerate direct sunlight, it is advisable to move them to a shaded environment during this period to reduce water consumption.
Jade Dewdrop
Jade Dewdrop has plump and full leaves with a jade green color that is crystal clear and super cute. It is a typical succulent flower that even blooms before the beginning of summer, although the flowers are not very ornamental, they have a good meaning.
Jade Dewdrop is suitable for growing in coarse-grained fertile sandy soil, often using a mix of peat soil, coarse sand, or coal slag, and can also add a small amount of bone meal to promote root development and growth. It prefers soft lighting and is recommended to be watered thoroughly in the evening. If it is in a high-temperature dormant period, reduce watering and place it in a semi-shaded area to reduce water consumption. It will remain crystal clear and look like crystal throughout the summer.
