Inverted Admiralty is one of the most difficult summer plants I've ever had. Every year in late spring and summer, it gets worse and worse, and eventually, the whole plant will wilt. And some seedlings from cuttings will also be in poor condition. If you have an upside-down Admiralty, make sure to take more seedlings in the spring, they will be more likely to survive the summer.

Inverted Admiralty itself is like a warm and cool environment, like summer cool, like winter warm. In the winter and spring they can be directly in the outdoor sun, occasionally drenching rain does not matter much, but as long as the temperature rises above 28 degrees, its state will become worse and worse, the temperature exceeds 33 degrees, is very difficult to live, the temperature is high its branches and flowers are prone to wilt, will gradually yellow withered.

If you want to raise upside down Admiralty, it is recommended to wait until the temperature drops below 28 degrees in autumn before buying. When caring for it, pay attention not to expose it to the sun, give soft light, do not keep it in excessive shade, have more than 6 hours of diffused light every day, it will be easier to flower, growing season, pay attention to keep thin fertilizer diligently, to ensure that the environmental problems above the degree.

2、Dry gold lily

It is generally planted as an annual herb, and its seeds are relatively large and germination rates are still possible.

It is also worthwhile to have a plant. Every year, after the weather becomes cooler in autumn, you can buy some potted seedlings or sow seeds to cultivate it, which is inexpensive, has a long flowering period and good ornamental properties, as well as proper low-temperature tolerance, and can survive in an environment of -4 or 5 degrees.

Marguerite is an extremely difficult summer herb that is extremely rich in flowers and is suitable for purchase in the fall and winter. They have an extremely long flowering period and can continue to bloom as long as the environment is temperate and there is plenty of sunlight. There are now also many horticultural ornamental varieties of margaritas, and in addition to the common white-flowered varieties, there are also particularly pink flower colors.

The white margarita variety is a little more heat-resistant, and its optimal growth temperature is between 18 and 25 degrees, too high a temperature is certainly not conducive to its growth, especially if the temperature is above 30 degrees, plus the hot and humid environment, it is extremely difficult to summer.

Southern friends who want to make margaritas safe summer, you can move it to the air conditioning room, but pay attention not to blow against the wind, but also pay attention to pruning most of the branches and leaves, advance spray fungicide, enhance ventilation and cooling, shade from the rain, these points should be done
