Which flowers sleep in summer

There are three types of plant dormancy in summer: bulb dormancy, seed dormancy and total dormancy

Corm dormancy

Bulb flowers such as daffodils, tulips, hyacinth, cyclamen, lotus and Lycoris need to sleep in summer

Seed dormancy

Most annual or biennial plants use seeds as dormant organs, such as camellia, violet, lily, Daisy, Yu Meimei and other flowers

All dormancy

Some flowers are not resistant to high temperature and will enter complete dormancy in summer. Flowers such as Clivia, carnation, geranium, upside down golden bell, Calla and so on belong to complete dormancy

Dormancy of succulent plants

In summer, many winter type species and some spring and autumn type species will enter the dormancy period, such as black mage, Yulu, mountain rose, Guanyin lotus, QianChuan, black claw, coral beads, twelve rolls, etc

How to determine whether to sleep

During the dormancy period, there will be phenomena such as leaf wilting, loss of luster and leaf loss. These manifestations are a little similar to the symptoms of illness. So how to judge whether your flowers are dormant or have maintenance problems

Dormancy performance

1. Look at the leaf luster

Observe the luster of the leaves. If the leaves are dim, the plants are withered and wilted, and the luster still cannot be restored after normal maintenance for a period of time, it indicates that they are dormant

2. Look at the rhizome state

Observe the growth state of the root for several days to see if there are new buds just emerging. If not, it indicates that the plant grows slowly or even stops, which is the performance of entering dormancy

3. Look at dehydration

Before entering dormancy, the plant leaves will gradually fall off, dehydrate and shrink. Normal maintenance still cannot be improved, indicating dormancy

4. Look at the temperature response

If the temperature drops due to cloudy and rainy weather for several days in succession, the plant suddenly changes its usual depressed state and grows gradually, it shows that it has entered the hibernation period because of the temperature, which can eliminate the possibility of illness

Sick performance

Common diseases of plants in summer include yellow leaves, dead leaves, falling leaves, long disease spots, rotten roots, attracting insects, etc. to eliminate the possibility of dormancy, just observe one point

Observation basin soil

No matter what symptoms appear in the leaves, it must be the first problem in the soil, either large water, hypertrophy or too dry and lack of nutrition

1. If there are problems with the dry and wet state and fertility of the basin soil, adjust it according to the preferences of the plants. After normal maintenance for a period of time, see whether it can recover to health. If possible, sleep can be ruled out

2. If there is no problem with the basin soil, observe whether the leaves attract insects, grow disease spots, black rot, etc. if so, it indicates that they are infected with diseases and pests and can rule out dormancy

Summary: to judge whether a plant is dormant, simply put, the elimination method is to determine that there is no problem with light, water, fertilizer and soil. The leaves are still a little lost, which is basically dormant
