In the colorful world of plants, each kind of flower has its unique growth habit and adaption environment. Some flowers can still bloom splendidly in the hot summer, while some are extremely sensitive to the high temperature and heat, and may wither and die easily if not cared for properly.
Cyclamen
Cyclamen, also known as rabbit-ear flower, gets its name because its flowers resemble the ears of rabbits. It is native to the Mediterranean region and likes a cool, humid and sunny environment.
The flowering period of cyclamen is usually in winter and early spring. When summer comes and the temperature rises, it will enter a dormant state. In summer, cyclamen is extremely sensitive to high temperature. If the temperature exceeds 30℃, its leaves will turn yellow, wilt, and even the whole plant may die. Therefore, when taking care of cyclamen in summer, place it in a cool and ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight, and reduce watering, keeping the soil slightly moist.
Fuchsia
Fuchsia has a peculiar flower shape, just like small hanging lanterns, with bright colors and is very beautiful. However, it is a very heat-sensitive flower.
Fuchsia likes a cool and humid environment, and the most suitable growth temperature is 10 - 20℃. When the temperature exceeds 30℃, its growth will be inhibited and it is prone to flower and leaf drop. In summer, fuchsia needs to be placed in a well-ventilated place with sufficient scattered light, and water should be sprayed around the plants frequently to increase air humidity and lower the temperature.
Rieger Begonia
Rieger Begonia is a kind of hybrid begonia with large flowers and rich colors, which has extremely high ornamental value. But it has relatively high requirements for temperature and humidity and is a typical heat-sensitive flower.
In the hot and humid environment in summer, Rieger Begonia is prone to stem rot and root rot. Therefore, when taking care of Rieger Begonia in summer, pay attention to controlling watering to avoid water accumulation. At the same time, strengthen ventilation and lower the temperature. Rieger Begonia can be placed in an air-conditioned room for maintenance, but avoid direct blowing of the air conditioner.
Christmas Cactus
Christmas Cactus, a plant of the genus Schlumbergera of the Cactaceae family, gets its name because its jointed stems are connected like the claws of a crab. Christmas Cactus likes a warm and humid environment, but it is also prone to problems at high temperatures in summer.
At high temperatures in summer, Christmas Cactus will enter a dormant state. If over-watered or fertilized improperly, it is easy to cause root rot. Therefore, reduce watering and stop fertilizing in summer, and place Christmas Cactus in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance.
Geranium
Geranium has various flower colors and a long flowering period, and is a common courtyard flower. But geranium is also relatively heat-sensitive in summer and is prone to phenomena such as yellow leaves and dead branches.
Geranium likes a warm in winter and cool in summer environment. In summer at high temperatures, pay attention to shading and cooling, and maintain good ventilation. At the same time, reduce watering to avoid water accumulation in the soil.
Calla Lily
Calla Lily has a beautiful flower shape, just like a horse's hoof, and is a very beautiful flower. But Calla Lily has higher requirements for temperature and humidity and is prone to death in summer.
Calla Lily likes a warm, humid and sunny environment but is not heat-tolerant. In summer, place Calla Lily in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, increase air humidity and avoid direct sunlight.

Hyacinth has bright flower colors and a pleasant fragrance and is a common bulbous flower. But hyacinth will enter a dormant state at high temperatures in summer and is prone to rot if not cared for properly.
In summer, dig out the bulbs of hyacinth, dry them in a cool and ventilated place, then wrap them in newspaper and store them in the refrigerator's cold storage compartment, and replant them in autumn.
In conclusion, the above-mentioned kinds of flowers are the most heat-sensitive and most prone to death in summer. When taking care of these flowers, it is necessary to understand their growth habits and provide them with a suitable environment and maintenance methods.
