In the summer, cyclamen come to yellow leaves, hurry up and do 4 things, and you can grow new leaves to bloom
After entering July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and many flower lovers find that the cyclamen leaves raised at home gradually begin to yellow, and some even dry out. I thought it was dead, so I simply threw it away. In fact, this is not a cyclamen to die, but it enters a dormant state after the heat, which is a growth habit of it. Once you enter the dormant period, you must hurry to do 4 things for it, so that you can spend the summer safely, and then grow new leaves in the autumn, and the flowering period will bloom again.
Do a good job of shading and sun protection
Cyclamen is very afraid of strong light flowers, only in the winter and spring, its growth season, to let it receive more soft light, so as to increase the photosynthesis of the plant, so that the leaves become thick green and luxuriant, and as soon as possible to gestate the flower buds to flower.
But in the summer maintenance, you can no longer continue to let it bask in the sun, this time not only the light intensity is large, but also the plant slowly into a dormant state, and then to the sun, it is easy to dry the plant withered.
Don't let it see direct light throughout the summer, preferably in a cool and ventilated environment. Wait until normal growth returns in the fall, and then gradually let it see the sun.
Do not let the potting soil be too wet
Many cyclamen who have been raised by flower friends have not yet rotted away after the summer, let alone waited until the autumn to grow new leaves. The cause of root bulb rot is mostly caused by the potting soil is too wet, because the root bulb is dormant in the potting soil, it is not growing at all, and it does not need too much water at all.
Summer maintenance cyclamen, in fact, do not need to manage like the growth period, just move the potted plants to a cool and ventilated environment, do not need too much watering, when the potting soil is completely dry, then go to water on the line, do not let the potting soil be wet for a long time, so as not to cause the root bulb to rot.
Do not fertilize again during the dormant period
Cyclamen to this kind of bulb flowers, is to have the habit of summer dormancy, many flower friends just began to raise do not understand, summer to see the yellow leaves also think that it is missing nutrients, so they give it to the pot fertilization, the result is directly burned bulbs, not long to rot away.
It is normal for cyclamen to appear yellow leaves in the summer, and some leaves will return nutrients to the root bulbs, and yellow leaves will appear. This phenomenon does not need to be ignored, or the yellow leaves can be cut off. Don't fertilize it again throughout the summer, otherwise it will easily cause fertilizer damage and burn the root ball. When it grows new leaves in the autumn, it is watered with some thin fertilizer to make the leaves grow more luxuriant.
The environment should be well ventilated
Whether cyclamen can survive the hot summer safely depends on the maintenance environment, if you put it in a hot and humid environment, the root ball is easy to rot. Especially in the southern region, the temperature is too high, and many of the summers spent directly in the pots rot.
If the ambient temperature is high, it is not suitable for summer in the pot, you can dig out the root ball for storage, wrap it in newspaper and put it in the refrigerator crisper box, wait until after September, and then plant it with loose and breathable culture soil, and soon new shoots can grow out, and flower buds can grow in winter.
In the summer, the yellowing of the leaves of cyclamen is a normal phenomenon, as long as it is transferred to a cool and ventilated place in advance, and the water is controlled and the fertilizer is stopped, and the summer is rested, and the new leaves can grow again in the autumn.
