Many flower lovers like to give their plants a little water now and then, never realizing that some flowers dislike water, and the more you water them, the faster they die! What to do then? Don't worry, today I'm here to recommend X kinds of flowers that especially love water, growing more vigorously the more you water them, filling out the pot in no time!

Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)

As soon as spring arrives, pennywort that has been holding back all winter begins to grow new leaves, and at this point there is no need to cut off water; the more you water it, the more vigorously pennywort grows!

How to care for pennywort?

1. In spring, pennywort must be given plenty of water and plenty of sun; the more light and the more water, the larger the leaves of pennywort will grow.

2. If you want pennywort to grow even more vigorously, you can dissolve 2-3 granules of compound fertilizer in water and apply it directly to the pennywort to supplement nitrogen fertilizer, so the leaves will grow bigger and bigger too!

Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)

I especially love monstera, because its leaves are distinctive; place a pot at home and it instantly boosts the look of the space, and your mood improves along with it!

How to care for monstera?

1. Monstera cannot take direct sunlight; normally keep it indoors in a spot with good scattered light, otherwise the leaves will get scorched.

2. In spring, water about once every 1-2 days; if your home is especially dry, watering 1-2 times a day is also fine, and remember to mist the leaves regularly to maintain humidity.

Calla lily (Zantedeschia)

In the gardening world, a saying has been passed down since ancient times: "You can't drown a calla lily," which shows just how waterlogging-tolerant calla lilies are. Not only that, calla lilies bloom in a riot of colors, and planting them together in one pot looks especially beautiful!

How to care for calla lilies?

1. Not fertilizing or over-fertilizing during the calla lily's growing period can cause yellow leaves, so before planting, add enough base fertilizer, and afterward give compound fertilizer about once a month to keep replenishing nutrients.

2. Calla lilies love water and prefer a humid environment; once they dry out they wilt and turn yellow, so water about once every 1-2 days; if the room is especially dry, promptly spray water on the ground around the pot to ensure sufficient humidity.

Azalea (Rhododendron)

The transpiration of azalea flowers and leaves is very strong, so their demand for water is very high, which is why they are also called "the azalea that can't be drowned."

How to care for azaleas?

1. Azaleas prefer acidic soil; if the soil stays alkaline for a long time, it will cause yellowing and leaf drop. Normally you can water with a little rice-washing water or a 0.2% ferrous sulfate solution to prevent the soil from becoming too alkaline.

2. Azaleas love a humid environment; in spring, water once every 3-5 days to keep the soil moist but not soggy, and be sure to mist the leaves and surrounding air often to increase humidity.

Evergreen (Aglaonema / Rohdea japonica)

I once kept a pot of evergreen and just tossed it in the bathroom, and unexpectedly it grew super vigorously, with leaves both green and glossy, incredibly beautiful!

How to care for evergreen?

1. Evergreen is extremely shade-tolerant and can grow well with just a bit of light. During the spring growing period, apply bean cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer once every 15-20 days to make the leaves grow bigger and bigger.

2. Evergreen loves moisture; as long as water doesn't accumulate in the pot, the roots won't rot. Watering about once every 2-3 days is enough, or you can simply use the bottom-watering method.

That's all for today's introduction,

Have all you flower lovers learned it?

Hurry and take advantage of spring to grow a pot of a flower that can't be drowned,

and shake off the title of plant killer!
