Recently, there are always flower friends complaining :
After entering July, some flowers are like "little buffalo". If they are not watered for a day, the leaves will droop immediately, like a wilted eggplant, pitiful.
Doesn’t it say “all flowers will be watered to death”? If you water it like this, it won't be watered to death.
Some flowers and plants are not very drought-tolerant and have a good ability to consume water. Especially in special months like July and August, some flowers must be raised as "buffalo" and watered vigorously to grow happily, especially The following 9 types.
1. Coppergrass
As we all know, Coppergrass is a flower that loves water very much and cannot live without water for even a minute.
After entering the summer, the ability of copper money grass to drink water is stronger. It must be replenished in time. If there is a lack of water, it will lie down in a large area, which will affect its appearance.
For copper money grass grown in hydroponics or maintained in half water and half soil, the water level should not exceed 1/3 of the plant height, otherwise it will desperately grow upward and become leggy, making it easier to lodging.
Coppergrass not only drinks more water, but also increases its ability to consume nutrients. Taking this opportunity, adding a few drops of nutrient solution to the water every week can help the petioles become thicker, the leaves become thicker, larger, and more beautiful.
2. Gardenia
html After 17 and 8 months, the water demand of gardenia increases significantly, because the transpiration ability of the leaves becomes stronger. If you touch the water just poured in the morning and touch it again at night, the pot soil will be 7 or 8 points. Once dry, the leaves will become dull if not watered.
Some florists are afraid to water gardenias because the soil is relatively hard and they are worried that the water around the roots has not dried thoroughly, and if they are watered again, the roots will become stuffy and rotten.
It is very normal to have such concerns. Many gardenias on the market are grown in yellow soil, which indeed brings a lot of trouble to their maintenance.
If the gardenia is grown in nutrient soil, water it when the pot soil is 7 to 8 minutes dry; if the gardenia is grown in sticky yellow soil, spray water on the leaves more often and wait until the pot soil is dry. Once it is completely dry, water it again.
When fertilizing gardenias, try to use organic fertilizers or microbial inoculants , which can effectively improve the soil and avoid soil compaction, root stuffing, and root rot.
3. Hydrangea
html After 17 months, the hydrangea will be a proper "big buffalo". A one-gallon pot of hydrangea will drink as much water as two adults every day.
Some flower lovers also complained: They just watered the hydrangea in the morning, but in the evening the leaves and flowers of the hydrangea drooped, and they had to be watered quickly.
Hydrangeas have large leaves and flowers, and their transpiration capacity is really impressive. Watering them once a day means that the potting soil is sufficiently water-permeable and breathable.
Hydrangeas can not only drink water, but also eat a lot. Use Huaduoduo No. 2 with a concentration of 0.1% instead of water to water the potting soil once a week; topdress with compound fertilizer once a month to increase the energy for growth and flowering.
4. Jasmine
Jasmine is also the main flower in summer. Its leaves are green and shiny, the flowers are small and white, and the fragrance is refreshing. It is deeply loved by flower lovers.
It is said that "the jasmine cannot die in the sun". Many flower lovers' jasmine tends to curl and turn yellow leaves when exposed to the sun. The main reason is the lack of water.
After entering July, jasmine needs to be raised as a "buffalo". Water it thoroughly when the soil is 70% dry. Add water to the leaves twice a day on sunny days, then move it out to bask in the sun. At the same time, apply Huaduoduo once a week. On the 2nd, it will be full of bursting flower buds and the fragrance will be more intense.

After watering the periwinkle thoroughly, the leaves returned to normal in less than 2 hours. It is really a "little buffalo".
The periwinkle flower in summer has really good flowering ability. Place it in a location with sufficient light, and topdress it with Huaduoduo No. 2 or potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a week. It will be full of small flower buds, and the flowers will not stop blooming.

Blue Snowflakes are the main flowers in summer. The blooms are a unique light blue, giving people a cool summer feeling and making them unforgettable at a glance.

Failure to replenish water in time will affect the differentiation of flower buds and the growth of flower spikes.
In order to avoid excessive nutrient consumption, bury an appropriate amount of quick-acting compound fertilizer shallowly in the pot soil every month to comprehensively supplement nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements to promote the growth of roots, stems and leaves. When watering every week, use a flower fertilizer with a concentration of 0.1%. Replace it with Duoduo No. 2, which will give it long flower spikes and beautiful blooms.
7. roses
Have you noticed that you have raised roses? After entering July, the rose is like a little buffalo, drinking more water.
Because after July, the photosynthesis of roses becomes stronger, and the consumption of water increases; secondly, with high temperature and strong light, the evaporation of water increases. Therefore, flower lovers feel that the frequency of watering roses has suddenly increased. of.

When raising Ping Pong Chrysanthemum, you don’t need to top or pinch it. Just let one branch grow upward, so that nutrients will be supplied intensively and the flowers will bloom large and full.
