After entering summer, many regions across the country have entered the "oven mode", and everyone is willing to stay in the air-conditioned room and not come out. However, for outdoor plants and flowers, they are actually also experiencing "baking". At this time, the most likely problem is dehydration. Especially for the three types of plants and flowers mentioned below, they are all big water consumers. As long as they are not watered in the hot summer, they may turn into a pot of "pickles" in minutes.
Hydrocotyle vulgaris
Hydrocotyle vulgaris is often placed in rooms. It can be grown in soil or water. Although it is not a rare plant, its round leaves always give people a sense of harmony and familiarity. Summer is the peak growth season for Hydrocotyle vulgaris, so it has a high demand for water. Whether grown in soil or water, it needs to be kept moist for a long time. It is recommended that for soil cultivation in summer, water should be applied every day, and for water cultivation, the water should be changed every three days to prevent the water from deteriorating and smelling due to high temperatures.
Thunbergia alata
Thunbergia alata is also called Black-eyed Susan by some florists. It is a climbing flower that has emerged in recent years. It mainly blooms in June of the year, and the flowering period can last until around September. The flower colors are mainly yellow and orange. After blooming, there is a small "black eye", which is very unique. Summer is the flowering period of Thunbergia alata, so it consumes more water than the first few months of the year. It is required to water the potted plants twice a day, otherwise the branches and leaves may wilt, dry up, or even die the next day. In addition, it is recommended to choose early morning or evening for watering.
Anisodontea capensis
Anisodontea capensis, also known as Miniature Hibiscus, is one of the top flowering plants in summer. If you can have a pot at home, it can ensure that you have flowers to enjoy every day. How to take care of it in summer? The key is watering. This plant has small leaves and dense branches, so the plant itself is prone to losing water and is very likely to dehydrate at noon in summer. If it is dehydrated accidentally, its flower buds will fall off in large numbers, accompanied by a large number of yellow leaves. Therefore, it is recommended to frequently check the flower pot in summer. When the soil is found to be dry, water it immediately. Water it once every other day, and twice a day during the dog days.
