As autumn quietly arrives, flower enthusiasts are faced with new challenges and opportunities. In this season, correct maintenance methods are crucial for the healthy growth of flowers. The following are the key points to be noted when growing flowers in autumn.
Light adjustment
The intensity of sunlight in autumn gradually weakens, but it is still necessary to reasonably arrange the light exposure time for flowers. For sun-loving flowers, the light exposure time can be appropriately increased, but direct sunlight at noon should be avoided to prevent sunburn on the leaves. For shade-loving flowers, they should be placed in a bright location without direct sunlight to ensure their normal growth.
Temperature control
The temperature in autumn is changeable, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large. Some flowers that are not cold-resistant need to be moved indoors in time or take warming measures. At the same time, pay close attention to the weather forecast and take protective measures before a sudden drop in temperature to avoid damage to flowers due to low temperature.
Water management
As the air gradually becomes dry in autumn, the water demand of flowers also changes. Generally speaking, the watering amount should be reasonably adjusted according to the variety and growth state of flowers. Avoid excessive watering that leads to root rot, and also don't let flowers be in a state of water shortage for a long time. You can judge whether watering is needed by observing the soil moisture and leaf state.
Fertilization points
Autumn is an important period for the growth of flowers. Appropriate fertilization can provide sufficient nutrients for flowers. But pay attention to the concentration and frequency of fertilization to avoid fertilizer damage caused by excessive fertilization. You can choose fertilizers suitable for autumn, such as phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, to promote flower bud differentiation and root growth.
Pest control
Autumn is also a season with a high incidence of pests and diseases. Regularly check the leaves, branches and roots of flowers to find and deal with pest and disease problems in time.
