Never spray water on the leaves of these flowers, or they will soon wither and die.
Don't spray water on wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens-cultorum), or watch out for leaf rot!
The leaves of wax begonia have many tiny fine hairs, and if you spray water on the leaves, the hairs block the moisture so it cannot evaporate in time, which causes water to collect on the leaves and rot them.
You can spray water into the surrounding air to raise the humidity, but do not spray water directly onto the leaves!
Don't spray water on gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa), or watch out for leaf rot!
The leaves of gloxinia also have dense fine hairs, and spraying water directly onto the leaves will likewise cause leaf rot.
When watering gloxinia, flower lovers should use a fine-spouted watering can and pour along the rim of the pot, and avoid getting water on the leaves.
Don't spray water on clivia (Clivia miniata), or watch out for core rot!
Spraying water on clivia leaves easily washes dust and dirty water down into the middle part of the plant, causing core rot. Especially during clivia's bud stage, spraying water on the middle leaves very easily causes the flower buds to rot.
Flower lovers can dip a soft cloth in clean water and wipe the leaves, which likewise moisturises and cleans the leaves.
Don't spray water on cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum), or watch out for rotting leaf buds!
Cyclamen's leaf buds are afraid of water. If you spray water directly onto cyclamen leaves, it will cause the leaf buds to rot. If the cyclamen is in bloom, do not spray water on the petals either, or once the flowers rot it will be too late to regret it.
Huahua suggests placing a basin of water beside the cyclamen, or spraying water directly on the ground near the cyclamen. This can also raise the air humidity without causing rotten flowers or buds!
Don't spray water on African daisy (Gerbera jamesonii), or watch out for rotting flower buds!
The flower buds of African daisy are also very afraid of water. To avoid the flower buds rotting from contact with water, flower lovers should try not to spray water on the leaves.
When watering African daisy, do not let water touch the centre of the leaves. If water does get on them, gently wipe it off with a soft cloth.
Don't spray water on cactus globes, or watch out for rot!
Some flower lovers feel that a cactus globe is covered in dust and that wiping it with a cloth is inconvenient, so they pick up a spray bottle and spray water on it. The cactus globe does get clean, but it may very well rot!
Cactus globes are very drought-tolerant, and too much spraying actually makes them prone to rot. If flower lovers accidentally spray too much water, they should promptly move the plant outdoors to a well-ventilated spot to speed up evaporation and prevent rot from excess water!
Flower lovers should be cautious when spraying water on their flowers.
