People who often raise flowers know that there are two time periods in the year, which is the time period with the largest flower mortality rate, one is the summer high temperature season, one is the winter cold season, but compared to the cold season, most of the flower lovers, who have heating at home, will also selectively raise some hardy flowers. But in the summer high temperature season, how to resist the high temperature and let the flowers survive the summer is indeed a science. Today, Maplewood combines its own experience in raising flowers, to tell you about the summer high temperature season, the master "raising flowers" is inseparable from "4 kinds" of auxiliary "objects"
Balcony flowers
1. Shade net
Now most of the flower friends living in the countryside, the yard is cement, into the summer high temperature season, if the flowers are put on the cement floor, then the heat radiation from the cement floor will make the leaves of the flowers become unrecognizable. In the case of relatively little flowering, you can move the flowers to the bottom of the eaves when the light is strongest, if there are more flowers, Maplewood recommends that you put on a shade net with a shading rate of 40%-60% at a height of about 1.5 meters above the flowers. If the density is not enough, you can also add another layer upwards, which will create a half-yin and half-yang scattered light environment for the flowers placed in the yard. No matter how strong the sunlight at the top, the temperature of its exposure to the ground will be greatly reduced. Whether it is in the place where the flowers are produced, or in our own yard, a large area of flowers, most flowers in the summer, both like water and ventilation, but also afraid of the scorching sun on the leaves, with the shade net, we can sit back and relax.
