These 6 flowers die faster the more you water them in summer
Most people think that in summer, when temperatures are high and plants lose water quickly, you must never let your home's flowers and plants go short of water when caring for them, otherwise the leaves will wilt and dry up and die before you know it. But there are some flowers that need water control when cared for in summer, and you must never overwater them, otherwise they will easily die on you, especially the following:
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana (flaming Katy):
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is itself a drought-tolerant variety, and after entering summer, when the temperature exceeds 30°C it will enter a semi-dormant state. At this time you must place it in a spot with diffused light for care, not in blazing sun, and control watering; generally watering once every 1-2 weeks is enough.
Clivia miniata (kaffir lily)
Likewise, when the summer temperature exceeds 30°C, Clivia miniata also enters a semi-dormant period. Place it in a cool, ventilated spot for care; when the temperature is too high you can spray its leaves with water to increase air humidity. Watering in the pot is generally once a week, and during the dormant period you must stop fertilizing when caring for Clivia miniata.
Schlumbergera (Christmas cactus)
When the temperature exceeds 25°C, Schlumbergera enters a dormant state. It cannot take blazing sun; place it in a semi-shaded, well-ventilated spot for care, and watering once or twice a month is enough.
Pelargonium (geranium)
As a flowering machine that is not afraid of cold, Pelargonium is actually quite afraid of heat. When the temperature exceeds 30°C, Pelargonium also enters a semi-dormant state. For potted care, be sure to move it to a ventilated spot with diffused light and give it appropriate pruning. Water only after you see the potting soil turn pale, to avoid waterlogging causing root rot. When watering, be careful to avoid getting water on the leaves as much as possible.
Rieger begonia
In this season, Rieger begonia is still blooming quite beautifully, but when summer's high temperatures of over 30°C arrive, it will enter a dormant period. At this point we need to prune off the spent flowers, move it to a cool, ventilated spot for care, and water only after seeing the potting soil dry out; also, do not water onto the leaves, otherwise they will easily rot.
Fuchsia
Fuchsia is a very popular potted flower, but it is very easy to lose during the summer, mainly because when the temperature exceeds 30°C Fuchsia stops growing, and when the temperature is above 35°C it easily dies. It is afraid of heat and likes a ventilated, somewhat cool environment. When caring for it in summer, reduce watering so the potting soil stays on the dry side, but you need to spray the leaves with water every day to increase air humidity so it can get through summer safely.
The above 6 are all very common seasonal flowers at this time of year. After entering summer, when caring for them everyone must get the watering amount right and provide appropriate shade to avoid blazing sun.
