The hot summer season is the most challenging time for balcony flowers. If not properly managed, many plants can rot or wither and eventually die. So, how can we keep them safe during this harsh period?
One effective approach 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. For example, bulbous plants like bulbous jellyfish and Rieger begonias may stop growing or become very weak. Fertilizing during this time is like pouring oil on a fire—it speeds up the decay of the bulbs. Similarly, overwatering can lead to waterlogged soil, which causes root rot and ultimately kills the plant.
To help these plants survive the summer, it's important to cut back on both fertilizer and water. Only water when necessary, and make sure the soil has time to dry out between waterings. This method helps the plants conserve energy and avoid stress, allowing them to recover once the weather cools down. With proper care, your balcony garden can thrive even through the hottest months.
