1. Good ventilation.
Ventilation is the most important thing in summer, just like the water cycle in an ecosystem. Fish in stagnant water is certainly not as healthy as fish in living water. A good ventilation environment can inhibit the growth of bacteria, make water evaporate faster (avoid causing hot and humid environment) and reduce the surface temperature. It's comfortable to have a cool wind in hot summer, isn't it? That's what meat people think So keep a small fan at home ~ especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Southwest China.
2. the right shadow.
Many people think shading is simple, but the word "suitable" is difficult to do. That's true. Apart from the open areas (Yunnan, Shandong coastal areas, etc.). ), not only the climate and environment in each region of China are different, but also the ultraviolet intensity is different. It is not necessary for some cities with continuous rainfall in summer to choose ordinary black for the sunshade net. Most families recommend using 30% shading effect (generally, you will ask how many "needle" shading nets there are, no matter how many, use the one with the weakest shading effect). For some special cities and places with particularly strong sunshine, 50% is recommended. Don't exceed 50%, or you will collectively become big cakes and wear skirts to grow a neck.
3. How to water in summer?
Try to water at night, and don't water at noon (except cloudy days). Stop watering in case of continuous high temperature (no problem within one month normally, which can be adjusted according to actual weather conditions). Once the temperature drops on a cloudy day, we should seize the opportunity to water it. "Water-cut" is only suitable for a small number of succulent plants, and it is not necessary to cut off water in most summer, including raw stone flowers and long grass (here only refers to the family environment). In particular, some succulents in poor condition need to be supplemented with nutrition to recover. For example, in the case of wrinkles, it is still necessary to restore by watering.
4. Soil proportion.
The proportion of soil is also very helpful to spend the summer. For seedlings or unhealthy meat, you can use 50% peat soil and 50% coarse sand, and then add a small amount of ruby soil (helping roots) to keep the soil moist, so that the meat will grow and recover quickly. For some old piles or adult plants, 70% peat soil and 30% peat soil can be used, and the particles can be coarse sand, weathered rock and volcanic rock. This way, the water can penetrate faster, and it can also avoid a hot and humid environment. Therefore, if you find that the meat at home is in a bad state in summer, check the soil first!
