A HK summer is a triple hit: heat speeds water loss, window sun scorches, AC dries the air. Treat light, water, humidity and airflow as one system.
In this article
Watering: to need, not by calendar
Heat dries soil fast — check more often (two inches deep, pot weight), but don’t overwater. Water early morning.
Shade against scorch
Move plants from intense window sun, diffuse with sheer curtains, rotate pots.
Humidity and airflow
AC dries air and browns tips. Moist soil but dry air → raise humidity; keep gentle airflow, no direct drafts.
Feeding (carefully)
Water first, feed in morning, reduce strength ~25%, pause in heatwaves, flush monthly, don’t feed stressed plants.
HK note: Keep plants from scorching windows and AC vents, check soil for morning watering.
