Plants suffer in summer from heat and lack of attention during vacation. If they have dried out while you were away, you need to thoroughly hydrate them to restore their former glory. First remove the top layer of soil and carefully take the plant out of its pot without damaging the roots. Soak it in a container with warm water for 10 minutes. Return it to the pot and mist the leaves with a spray bottle.

TIME FOR REPOTTING

September is a good month for repotting some indoor plants if you haven't done it in spring, as it's not too cold or hot. It's convenient to remove dry leaves and perform preventive pruning by cutting old stems.

Autumn Plants

Sow annuals to bloom next spring. Choose varieties such as petunias, daisies, zinnias or begonias. Don't forget bulbs—such as dahlias, lilies or amaryllis—which are planted now and will bloom in spring.

Fertilize your plants. In September, it's important to provide more nutrients to strengthen them for autumn and winter. At this time, choose fertilizers rich in potassium.

PLANTS TO GROW IN SEPTEMBER

How to Care for Plants in September: Give Them a Break After VacationsPinterest INSIDE: FIG (FICUS LYRATA)

Ficus lyrata is a very decorative tropical plant with large light green leaves. It likes warm temperatures and does not tolerate cold.

  • Watering. Moderate. Always keep the substrate moist.
  • Fertilizing. Feeding nutrients is practical in spring and summer. Use compost for leafy green plants.
  • Repotting. When you see roots emerging from drainage holes, it's time to repot into a larger pot.
OUTSIDE: WINTER BEGONIA (HEMEROCALLIS spp.)

This small and low-maintenance plant adapts well to its environment. It blooms with beautiful tubular flowers that last only one day. They are orange, pink or purple.

  • Watering. Regular, especially during blooming. Do not wet the flowers and leaves.
  • Fertilizing. Use organic fertilizers to encourage better blooming.
  • Tip. Propagates in September. Dig up the plant from the ground, divide the bush into parts and repot them separately.
