Growing flowers and watering them regularly, who would have known that the leaves of some flowers cannot be sprayed with water - one spray and the leaves rot easily or the plant even dies, which is a bit baffling. Below are 7 flowers when watering, do not spray water on the leaves.

1. Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum)

Cyclamen likes moisture, but do not splash water on the leaves - the leaves are fuzzy, so the water cannot evaporate easily and the leaves rot very easily. When watering, keep the soil alternately dry and moist, and ventilate for about one hour every day.

2. Wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens-cultorum)

The leaves of wax begonia are also fuzzy, and when sprayed with water the stomata get blocked by the moisture, so the leaves rot very easily and become infected with pathogens.

During the growing season, water once a day, and use a spray bottle to mist the surroundings to maintain environmental humidity.

3. Ball cactus (cactus)

For ball cacti, generally water along the edge of the pot, and never spray directly onto the ball, because the moisture will make the body rot. Generally water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, and there is no need to water frequently.

4. Clivia (Clivia miniata)

The reason clivia leaves cannot be sprayed with water is not because they are fuzzy, but because the moisture flows into the leaf core, which easily causes the core to rot, making it very hard for the plant to bloom.

5. Gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa)

Gloxinia, like cyclamen and wax begonia, also has fuzzy leaves, and when the leaves are sprayed with water the moisture does not evaporate easily; over time this easily causes the leaves to rot and pathogens to develop.

6. Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii)

The flower buds of gerbera must not come into contact with water, otherwise they rot; even more, do not water into the leaf core or flower buds, otherwise the buds will rot.

7. Pocketbook plant (Calceolaria)

The leaves of the pocketbook plant are also fuzzy; generally, for leaves that are fuzzy, be careful not to spray them with water, otherwise the leaves rot very easily.
