Some perennial herbaceous plants native to Mediterranean climate types, such as cyclamen, tulips, calla lilies, daffodils, and gold bells, will enter dormancy in the summer. The main reason for causing dormancy or semi-dormancy is high temperature and drought. When the temperature rises above 30°C, yellowish leaves of such flowers will appear. Therefore, different management measures should be taken to make it safe. The management of the Xia Mian flower must firstly grasp the eight-character principle of “shading and ventilation†and “control water stopping fertilizerâ€. After entering the summer, place the dormant flowers in a cool, ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. When the temperature is high, sprinkle the water on the ground to cool the flowers. In the dormancy period, the flowers have low metabolic levels and consume very little nutrients. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the fertilization. Root or rotten ball; to the summer sleep flower should be strictly controlled watering, in order to maintain the basin earth slightly wet. Since the hibernation of the flowers is in the rainy season, the flowerpots should be placed in a sheltered place to prevent the plants from getting dripping and the water in the basins. For bulbous flowers such as cyclamen, tulips, daffodils, etc., the bulb can be excavated at the beginning of the summer sleep, and the stems, leaves, and soil of the plants are removed and stored in a cool, ventilated, dry, and sheltered place. The preservation of bulbs is a key issue, especially for tulips. When the ball is dug at the end of May or early June, the bulb should be dried at a high temperature of 30°C and then placed in a cool, ventilated environment at a room temperature of 17°C to 20°C. At this time, it is during its internal flower bud differentiation period, after the completion of the differentiation, it will be planted again in autumn. If the storage conditions are poor, the bulb will rot and die.
