Does Guanyin lotus go dormant in summer?
The editor will explain the contents related to the Guanyin lotus, a succulent plant. Does Guanyin lotus go dormant in summer? Let's find out together next.
Many succulent plants enter a dormant period in summer. Some plant enthusiasts wonder if Guanyin lotus goes dormant in summer, and also whether it will wrap up during dormancy. Let's understand these two questions together and see how Guanyin lotus grows in summer.
In the case of continuous high temperatures in summer, Guanyin lotus may enter a dormant state, which is characterized by停滞ed growth, drooping leaves, or lying flat. Regarding the question of whether Guanyin lotus wraps up during dormancy, it mainly depends on the amount of watering we do. If we feel that it is hot in summer and start to reduce watering or stop watering, Guanyin lotus will wrap up in the absence of water. However, if we do not control the water supply and there is sufficient water, even if Guanyin lotus enters the dormant period, it will not wrap up.
Also, the performance of Guanyin lotus in different regions during summer is not the same. As mentioned earlier, Guanyin lotus only enters dormancy in the case of continuous high temperatures. If there are only a few days of high temperatures and our maintenance environment is relatively shady, Guanyin lotus will not enter the dormant period; it will just grow slower.
Therefore, whether Guanyin lotus goes dormant in summer is not fixed; it depends on the environment. The correct method to care for Guanyin lotus in summer is to reduce watering appropriately or stop watering altogether. Guanyin lotus is prone to rot and wither at the bottom due to excessive water, and may even develop black rot.
Dormancy is a self-protection method for plants to cope with extreme weather. Our potted plants sometimes have very favorable conditions, so there is no need to force them into dormancy. It's best to let it be natural. In summer, what we need to do is to avoid the death of succulent plants due to excessive water and闷热 air.
