I'm afraid that during summer, many flowers thrive with more water, but it's not always true that the more you water, the better. In fact, excessive watering can be harmful. Summer brings more rain, and potted plants are prone to waterlogging. If the water in the saucers isn't removed promptly, the soil becomes oversaturated, leading to a lack of oxygen in the root zone. This can cause serious damage or even kill the plants, especially those with sensitive roots like cacti, evergreens, clivia, dahlias, monstera, gloxinia, begonias, chrysanthemums, and other summer-flowering plants. It’s important to prevent water from pooling in the pots after rain. If overwatering occurs, move the pot to a cooler, shaded area, remove excess water, avoid direct sunlight, reduce watering, and gradually return to normal care.
In addition, summer weather is often hot and humid, which creates ideal conditions for pests and diseases. Poor air circulation can lead to problems like spider mites, nematodes, whiteflies, powdery mildew, and black spot disease. To prevent these issues, make sure to improve ventilation, especially during rainy or humid periods. If you notice any signs of pests or disease, take immediate action using appropriate control methods—whether it's natural remedies, insecticidal soap, or fungicides. Early detection and treatment are key to keeping your plants healthy throughout the season.
