Many fans ask me what flowers to raise in the summer, and I think the most suitable flower to raise in the summer is hydrangeas. It is a typical summer flower, the blooming period is just in the hot summer, when other flowers are already dormant, hydrangea but the best growth, blooming stubble after stubble, can not stop at all, can add a bright color to summer.
Speaking of this, some people may want to ask "hydrangea is it good to raise", in fact, hydrangea is the best flower, it is very leather, excellent resistance, easy to not have problems. Usually the "serving it" of large water and fertilizer can make it grow strong and vigorous, and the flowers are many and beautiful.
Hydrangeas are a "big buffalo"
Hydrangeas have a very high demand for moisture, like a large buffalo. Regular watering is required to ensure that the soil is in a moist state so that its leaves can remain vigorous at all times. If you water too little, it will weaken the overall growth, and even make the leaves yellowing and wilting.
After entering the summer, the water evaporates faster, and it is necessary to water frequently to meet its water needs, and I usually water once in the morning and once in the evening. In addition to watering, I often spray the surroundings with a spray bottle to make sure the air is not too dry.
One thing to note is that when watering hydrangeas in summer, avoid the noon period, otherwise it is easy to cause the water temperature to rise, and then burn the root system. You can choose to water in the morning or evening, and ventilate more after watering to ensure that the air is in a state of smooth circulation and promote the breathing of branches and leaves.
In addition to watering more, pay attention to the following:
1. The ability of hydrangea to withstand sunlight is not very strong, and the light in summer is too strong, and proper shade is needed to avoid sunburn. If you are planting hydrangeas, you can choose to pull a shade net above the hydrangeas to block the bright light. If it is a potted hydrangea ball, it can be directly moved to a semi-shaded and ventilated place for maintenance.
2. The growth rate of hydrangea is relatively fast, and the number of flowers is also very large, so the demand for fertilizer will be relatively high, and it is usually necessary to fertilize in time to allow it to obtain enough energy for growth and flowering. You can apply some well-rotted fertilizer solution in an appropriate amount during the vigorous growth time, and the concentration should not be too high, so as to increase the nutrient content in the soil. When the flowering period is approaching, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are the mainstay, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate or flower duoduo No. 2 on the leaves, to promote the breeding of flower buds and buds.
3. After the hydrangea flowers, prune them properly. Cut off some residual buds and rotten leaves in time to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients. At the same time, apply some fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium again to quickly restore hydrangea and prepare for the next flowering.
4. The cold resistance of hydrangea is relatively poor, and when the temperature is reduced, it is necessary to do a good job of heat preservation measures in time. If you are potting hydrangeas, you can move it to a warm indoor position to ensure that the minimum temperature is above 5 degrees to avoid frostbite of the leaves.
Hydrangea is the most beautiful flowering plant, its flowering ability is very strong, a hydrangea can bloom hundreds of flowers, the color of the flower can change with the pH of the soil. Like my northern region, the soil is generally alkaline, and hydrangeas will bloom pink flowers in an alkaline environment, which is very beautiful.
If you like hydrangeas, you can buy a pot in time, it will not take long to make it bloom and appreciate its colorful charm. What flowers do you have in your home? Let me know in the comments section.
