The hot summer season is the most challenging time for most balcony flowers. If not properly cared for, many plants can rot or wither and eventually die. So, is there a way to keep them safe through the summer?
One effective method is to control fertilization and reduce watering. During the summer, some balcony plants enter a dormant or semi-dormant state, and their growth slows down significantly. Examples include bulbous plants like the bulbous jellyfish and Rieger begonias. Fertilizing during this period is like pouring oil on a fire — it can speed up the decay of the bulbs. Similarly, overwatering can lead to waterlogged soil, which causes root rot and ultimately kills the plant.
To protect your balcony garden, it's best to cut back on both fertilizer and water. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and avoid adding any nutrients during the hottest months. This will help your plants survive the heat and come back strong in cooler weather. With proper care, you can enjoy your balcony flowers all year round.
