With the temperature rising, it is easy for us to have rotten longevity flowers in summer, either rotting leaves or roots. Once it happens, it is difficult to save it quickly, and the whole plant may die. So now it is summer, we must pay attention to it. We should remember "5 cannots" to make the roots strong, leaves green, and grow vigorously, so that it can quickly grow flower buds and bloom in autumn.
1. Cannot repot
We should know that the longevity flower we raise is a plant of the Crassulaceae family, just like other succulents we know, they all belong to the Crassulaceae family. Therefore, it is also in a semi-dormant state in summer, and the higher the temperature, the slower it grows. When the temperature reaches 30-40 degrees, it may stop growing. At this time, we should not repot it.
Because when the temperature rises, it grows slowly or does not grow, the roots are relatively weak. If repotting will inevitably damage the roots, and the roots cannot grow, it will lead to the leaves wilting, withering, and falling off. Now only ensuring reasonable care and not repotting it is the most correct.
2. Cannot lack ventilation
The temperature in summer is very high. If your environment is stuffy and not ventilated, the chance of the longevity flower having烂 leaves and rotten roots will greatly increase. Therefore, in the family, try to place it in a well-ventilated environment in summer. When the ventilation is good, the soil will not be in a stagnant state after watering, and its roots will not be damaged. The longevity flower is a plant with fine roots and not many main roots, so remember to ensure ventilation.
How to care for the longevity flower in summer
If your environment is really not ventilated, then after watering every time, you must find an electric fan to blow against the surface of the potting soil, making the surface of the soil slightly dry, so it will not have problems. And try not to place it with other plants together. If it is placed together without ventilation and the humidity is high when watering other plants, it is also easy to cause烂 leaves.
3. Cannot be without light
Many people think that the longevity flower is dormant in summer and put it in a dark place in the room, which will only lead to the new buds being tender and weak. Because it grows in summer, just grows slowly, and without light, its leaves cannot perform photosynthesis, and the roots will dry up and rot during the whole summer. Its leaves are thick, can store a lot of water and nutrients, so you need to give it light, usually a little scattered light or the sunlight before 9 a.m. is fine.
4. Cannot forget to water
If the longevity flower is not watered in summer, its leaves will become severely dry and the whole plant will wilt. Even if watered in autumn, it is difficult to recover, and even if it does, it may delay the flowering period or not bloom at all. Therefore, it should also be watered reasonably in summer. So how should you water? Wait for the potting soil to dry completely and water thoroughly. Try to use a small pot with well-drained soil and do not use a large pot.
