Summer Cyclamen has yellow leaves, hurry up and do 4 things, and new leaves and flowers can grow
After July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and many flower lovers find that the cyclamen leaves they grow at home Gradually they began to turn yellow, and some even dried up. I thought it was dead and just threw it away. In fact, this is not that the cyclamen is dead, but that it enters a dormant state after the weather is hot. This is one of its growth habits. Once it enters the dormant period, you must do 4 things for it quickly, so that it can spend the summer safely, grow new leaves in autumn, and bloom again during the flowering period.
Use shade and sun protection
Cyclamen is a flower that is very afraid of strong light. Only in winter and spring, its peak growth season, can it receive more soft light, which can increase the photosynthesis of the plant. , make the leaves become dark green and lush, and breed the buds to bloom as soon as possible.
However, during summer maintenance, you cannot continue to let it bask in the sun. At this time, not only the light intensity is high, but the plant also slowly enters a dormant state. If you continue to expose it to the sun, it will easily wither the plant.
Keep it away from direct light throughout the summer. It is best to move it to a cool and ventilated environment. Wait until normal growth resumes in autumn and then gradually allow it to see sunlight.
Don't let the pot soil be too wet
The cyclamen raised by many flower lovers will rot before the summer is over, let alone wait until the autumn to grow new leaves. The cause of root ball rot is mostly caused by the pot soil being too wet, because after the root ball goes dormant in the pot soil, it stops growing at all and does not need much water at all. If you water too much at this time, the pot soil will become sluggish. In a moist state, rot will occur.
Maintaining cyclamen in summer does not actually need to be managed like during the growth period. You only need to move the potted plant to a cool and ventilated environment, and do not need to water it too much. When the pot soil is completely dry, go back to it. Just water it, don't let the pot soil stay wet for a long time to avoid causing the root ball to rot.
Do not fertilize during the dormant period.
Cyclamen, a type of bulbous flower, has the habit of dormancy in summer. Many flower lovers do not understand it at first. When they see yellow leaves in summer, they think it is lack of nutrients, so they give it to them. When I put fertilizer into the flower pot, it burned the bulb directly and rotted away in a short time.
It is normal for cyclamen to have yellow leaves in summer. The nutrients in some leaves will flow back into the root ball, causing yellow leaves to appear. Don't worry about this phenomenon, or just cut off the yellow leaves. Do not fertilize it throughout the summer, otherwise it will easily cause fertilizer damage and burn the root ball. Wait until it grows new leaves in the fall, then water it with some thin fertilizer and water to make the leaves grow more lush.
The environment should be well ventilated
Whether cyclamen can survive the hot summer safely also depends on the maintenance environment. If it is placed in a hot and humid environment, the root ball will easily rot. Especially in the south, where the temperature is too high, many flowers will rot if they spend the summer directly in flower pots.
If the ambient temperature is high and muggy and not suitable for spending the summer in a flower pot, you can dig out the root ball and store it, wrap it in newspapers and put it in the crisper box of the refrigerator. After September, use loose and breathable culture medium. If planted in soil, new shoots will appear quickly, and buds will bloom in winter.
It is normal for cyclamen leaves to turn yellow in summer. As long as you move it to a cool and ventilated place in advance, control water and fertilizer, and let it rest for a summer, new leaves will grow again in autumn.
