Will the home raised longevity flowers be dormant in summer?

The leaves of the longevity flowers raised by many flower friends are soft and shrugging, and in serious cases, it will cause the whole plant to wither, which makes everyone very troubled. So why does this happen in the summer? How to take care of longevity flowers after entering summer?

Why do longevity flowers wilt in summer?

1. The temperature is too high

After entering the summer, the temperature gradually begins to rise, the growth of longevity flowers at this time is also affected, when the temperature reaches more than 30, the water evaporation rate in the plant and pot is accelerated, if the usual watering is not timely, there will be a phenomenon of leaf wilting and shrugging.

2. Strong light irradiation

During the growth period of longevity flowers, it is generally allowed to receive more sunlight, but in summer, the temperature is high, the light intensity is too large, and it is still placed in the direct sunlight, which is easy to sunburn the leaves, causing the leaves to be soft and pull down.

How to maintain longevity flowers in summer?

Stop fertilizing

In summer, when the temperature reaches 32 or above, the plant will gradually turn into a dormant or semi-dormant state, and the nutrient and water requirements are very low, so it can be free to apply any fertilizer. If too much fertilizer is applied, it will cause root burning, resulting in rotten roots and yellow leaves.

The potting soil should not be too damp

During the high temperature in summer, after the plants are dormant, in addition to stopping refertilization, you should also pay more attention to watering, do not water too often, so that the soil is too wet or waterlogged. When it is hot, you can often spray some water around the potted plants to increase humidity and cool down.

Avoid sun exposure

With the increase of light intensity, when maintaining longevity flowers, it is also necessary to do a good job of shading and sun protection to avoid sunlight, so as not to cause wilting and shrieving of branches and leaves. Until late autumn, when the weather is cooler, the light is appropriately increased.

The environment is well ventilated

After the longevity flowers are dormant in summer, reduce watering, stop fertilizing, and transfer the potted plants to a cool and ventilated environment for maintenance. If the maintenance environment is too hot and the potting soil is damp, it is easy to have various pests and diseases. Ventilation of the environment should be strengthened, and water should be sprinkled frequently around the potted plants to reduce the ambient temperature and increase the humidity of the air.

Although kalanthus is a plant in the family Sedum, it is a succulent plant that usually grows in summer and does not remain dormant. Pay attention during maintenance to make it grow well. There is no decay and no death.

Kalancho flowers grow at temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees. It can grow normally at temperatures of about 30 degrees, but if the temperature is too high, it will grow slowly. During the hot season, we should keep it in a cool and ventilated place and not expose it to the sun.

At this point, it will not grow, absorb less water, and then get sunburned very quickly. The growth trend of longevity flowers after the flowering period is getting worse and worse. In fact, this is mainly due to the fact that kalancho flowers consume too much nutrients during the flowering period.

At this time, we need to prune the longevity flowers to save nutrients in order to maintain the longevity flowers. In order to accumulate more nutrients, cut off the flowering peduncles, old leaves, and dead branches so as not to consume the nutrients of the longevity flowers. The pruned leaves can be used for cuttings, and the survival rate is still high.

Do kalanchos have to be dormant in summer? Don't go wrong anymore, get it right.

Longevity flowers are very fond of a warm but not hot, cool but not cold growing environment. The optimum temperature for growing is 15 to 25 degrees Celsius, and when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the growth of the plants is restricted, and the growth is particularly slow and semi-dormant. Therefore, the longevity flowers raised at normal temperatures in the family will basically be dormant in summer.

Yes. Kalancho flowers are very fond of warmth rather than heat, and the most suitable temperature for growth is about 25 degrees Celsius, when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the growth of the plant will be restricted.

The leaves of many flower-loving kalanchos become soft, twitching, and even cause the whole plant to wilt, much to everyone's annoyance. So why is this happening to longevity flowers in summer? How to take care of longevity flowers after entering summer?

Every summer, the kalanthus goes into a dormant phase. At this time, it is necessary to ensure shade, water control, and fertilization. The appearance of longevity flowers looks small and exquisite, the flowers are dense, and they have the meaning of longevity, so they are also the ideal plants for many people.

Moreover, longevity flowers bloom from autumn to summer, and each branch can bloom more than a dozen.

However, kalanchops are slightly different from other plants. Every summer goes into a short hibernation period. During this time, more care must be taken to ensure that it can survive safely.

We need to apply different fertilizers in different growth periods of longevity flowers, and summer and autumn belong to the vigorous growth period of longevity flowers. We need to apply fertilizers that are mainly nitrogen-based. In winter, the longevity flowers will enter the gestation period, so we need to apply fertilizers based on phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

However, it is advisable to apply thin fertilizer frequently every time, otherwise fertilizer damage is easy to occur.

In the summer, the temperature gradually begins to rise, and the growth of longevity flowers is also affected at this time. When the temperature reaches more than 30, the water in the plants and pots evaporates faster. If you don't water it in time, the leaves will wilt and droop.

Periwinkle is a plant that loves sunlight very much. Under normal circumstances, be sure to give it more sun. However, the temperature is too high in summer, and direct exposure to the sun can easily lead to sunburn and even death of longevity flowers.

So, it's better to move it indoors and take care of it.

The temperature should be kept at around 15-25 degrees. Kalancho has a certain water storage capacity, which means that even if you don't water it for a week, you won't have a problem. It is a very drought-tolerant plant.

So be sure not to pour too much water, just pour water once every 4 days or so, so that the basin will maintain a certain humidity. If watered frequently, it may lead to long-lived flower root rot. Longevity flowers will be dormant when they exceed 30 degrees, that is, they will not be fertilized in summer.

Then the growing season is spring and fall. The revival of all things in spring belongs to the physiological growth stage of plants, that is, taking root and sprouting, and growing vigorously. Fertilization should follow the principle of "two water and one fertilizer".

That is, after two waterings, nitrogen fertilizer is applied once with water. Twice a month, half a month apart. Dormant in summer, no high temperatures.

During the bud storage period (October-November), the fertilizer is changed twice, and the potassium dihydrogen phosphate is filled with carbon, which can be applied with water and foliar spray.

Summer doesn't go dormant. Because although the longevity flower is a plant of the sedum family and belongs to a type of succulent, it grows normally in summer.

It will be dormant, at this time you must prune properly, remove the flowers that bloom and fail, and pay attention to timely ventilation.

Yes, if the temperature is too high, it is necessary to dormant to ensure the growth of longevity flowers.

When I shade and water properly, I do not sleep.

Many flower friends are recognized as difficult households in summer potato digging. Why? Because, in the hot season, the flowers are dormant.

If you don't take care of it properly, it's easy to hang up in the summer. How can you tell if a flower is dormant? Friends, look at my longevity flowers.

It is now dormant. The edges of its leaves are red. And the leaves are getting thinner.

If the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, the longevity flower will go into a dormant state. At this time, the longevity flower is already asleep like a human. In terms of maintenance management, it is necessary to pay attention to the following maintenance methods.

All we have to do is stop and water less. Some flower lovers think that the leaves of the longevity flower are getting thinner and thinner, and they feel that it lacks water, so they try their best to water it. It is very drought tolerant.

If it is watered frequently on a hot day, its potting soil will be wet for a long time, and root rot will occur, which is one of the biggest reasons why it hangs. In addition, reduce the light exposure for it when it is dormant, and it is best to keep it in a cool and ventilated environment to let it survive the summer safely. If the light is too strong, the leaves will become thinner and thinner, and it will be difficult to recover in autumn.

In addition, a little red is dormant in the ascending state. How can we water it? Flower lovers can water it less along the edge of its pot so that its capillary roots don't dry out too much.

In this way, a little red can safely survive the summer and grow well in the fall.

Longevity flower is a flower plant of the Sedum family for viewing leaves and flowers, the leaves are dark green, the edges are red, and the flowers are yellow, crimson, pink, purple, white, etc. The corolla is long and tubular, the base is slightly expanded, the flowering period is from December to the end of April of the following year, the longevity flowers have a long flowering period, drought tolerance, easy cultivation, and good decorative effect, but the longevity flowers will bloom for a long time near the end of the summer when they enter the summer, and they will slowly enter the dormant period. I specially went to consult the following rural aunts who have many years of experience in raising green plants in the following villages, just cut a few knives, cover the cover, and still be able to bloom and burst!

If we want the longevity flower to bloom and burst into pots, the first thing we have to do is to top. The longevity flowers maintained in the south have passed the spring flowering period, so don't feel distressed when you top it. But we are now going to let Shoushou bloom again before midsummer, so we can't be too ruthless in topping, just cut off the top two pairs of leaves on each branch.

Note that each branch, side branches, main branches must be topped, so as to ensure that all branches are re-entered the growth state, in order to bloom and burst.

Now in some places, with the different temperatures of the season, there may be longevity flowers that are still blooming, and we can't bear to start, which must not be soft-hearted! Cut off a leaf under the kalancho flower, there is no place to bloom, and the lower end of the branch also needs to cut off a leaf. This creates the illusion that the whole plant is in the child's growth stage.

In addition, because kalancho is a short-day plant, we also need to prepare a cover, and we can find it for about a month!

It is recommended that when you prepare the cover, it is best to use that kind of cardboard box cover, which is more breathable, and it is okay to make a few holes on all sides, and it is best not to use a black plastic bag, because the plastic bag is not breathable enough. In addition, I need to tell you that there are many plants that cannot be repotted in summer, especially in high temperature weather, while longevity flowers can be repotted, and you only need to pay attention to some small details.

Kalancho flowers do not grow much in the summer, and if they do, they grow very slowly.
