Three tips for keeping Flaming katy temperature under control
Three tips for keeping Flaming katy temperature under control
Tip #1: Don’t Over-Water When Temperatures Are High
It may seem counterintuitive, but Flaming katy actually need less water during summer. To see if your plants have enough moisture, check the soil by putting your pointer finger two inches (5 cm) below the surface and feeling to see if it's dry. If it's already wet and you continue to water it, you can cause the roots of your plant to rot.
Tip #2: Don’t Panic If Temperatures Occasionally Get Too High or Low
While you’ll want to keep your Flaming katy in the optimal temperature range as much as possible, they won’t die instantly if temperatures drop or rise. Flaming katy have even been known to survive at temperatures below 0 ℃ for small amounts of time. Temperature fluctuations will usually cause your plants to enter a state of dormancy, going into survival mode and utilizing less water. You’ll want to return them to the correct range as soon as possible, but don’t think all is lost if the temperature suddenly shifts.
Tip #3: Avoid Placing Your Flaming katy in Extreme Heat
When exposed to very high temperatures for extended periods of time, Flaming katy will begin to change and experience damage. The changes may seem aesthetically pleasing at first, with the leaves changing into muted shades of red, yellow, and orange. But eventually they will begin to wither as the plant succumbs to sun damage, eventually stopping it's growth entirely and causing your Flaming katy to die.
