What flowers are suitable for growing in summer
Midsummer is the golden period for many flowers to bloom. Reasonable selection of plant varieties that are resistant to high temperatures and like light can allow the courtyard to continue to present colorful scenery. By mastering the growth characteristics and maintenance points of different flowers, you can create an amazing summer garden even in the scorching heat. Key points for lotus cultivation: aquatic plant conservation advantages As a typical aquatic flower, lotus grows most vigorously in water temperatures of 30-35℃. Select a container with a diameter of more than 60cm, lay a 20cm thick pond sludge on the bottom, and maintain a water level depth of 15-20cm. Adding slow-release fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium every week can promote bud differentiation. Light control skills A full-sun environment is most conducive to lotus growth, and direct light needs to be ensured for more than 6 hours a day. If there is continuous rain during the bud formation period, artificial light can be replenished to extend the light time. Pay attention to removing duckweed on the water surface in time to keep the leaves receiving uniform light. Xia Jin's planting method substrate preparation plan uses peat soil: perlite: humus soil in a ratio of 3:1:2, and 200g of bone meal is added to each cubic meter. Maintain the plant spacing of 30cm during planting, and the characteristics of shallow root systems require regular loosening of soil to prevent soil hardening and affecting nutrient absorption. Flowering management points spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (concentration of 0.2%) every week during the budding period, and cut off residual branches in time after flowering. Appropriate shade at noon in summer can extend the flowering period of a single flower by 2-3 days and maintain the ornamental value of the plant. Petunia breeding skills, sowing precautions, select coated seeds (Z-B), and the soil thickness shall not exceed 0.5cm. Keep the surface temperature at around 25℃ and germinate in 3-5 days. During the seedling period, the dipping pot method is used to replenish water to avoid water flow impact and damage the buds. Modeling and pruning process When the main stem reaches 15cm long, the core is picked to promote the germination of lateral branches. After flowering, the base 2 pairs of leaves are retained and pruned, and combined with topdressing application of balanced liquid fertilizer with nitrogen and phosphorus, annual flowering can be achieved. Special flowers recommend that the jasmine flower control technology adopts "three cuts and one control" management: heavy cutting after flowering, light cutting during the growth period, and shaping cutting in autumn, combined with water control to promote flowering. Adding organic fertilizer after each flowering can increase the number of flowering times per year to 4-5 times. Desert rose maintenance has water storage characteristics of expanded stems, making it strong drought tolerance, and uses a substrate with granular soil accounting for 70%. Maintaining the temperature difference between day and night above 10℃ in spring and summer, combined with the application of high phosphorus fertilizer, secondary flowering can be induced.
By scientifically selecting heat-resistant varieties and implementing refined management, summer gardens can present a moving scenery with lotus flowers reflecting the sun and the fragrance of jasmine. It is recommended to adopt a stepped planting layout to reasonably match plants with different flowering periods to achieve continuous changes in color and aroma. Regular soil testing and plant adjustments can keep the garden in optimal condition during the hot season.
