Flowers and plants in the rain"

- The benefits of rainwater -

Rainwater is formed when tiny particles of water vapor in the sky condense, and it also contains trace mineral elements. Compared with groundwater, it is very soft, will not cause sudden compaction, and because it is weakly acidic, it is suitable for most flowers, plants and succulents.

Many flower lovers and succulent lovers usually put a bucket in an open area and, in spring and summer when rain is plentiful, collect rainwater to water their flowers. For flowers such as jasmine, rhododendron and camellia, frequently watering with rainwater not only makes them grow faster, but also makes the branches and leaves more likely to flourish. For succulents, frequently watering with rainwater also makes them grow a little better, and they sprout very easily.

The dissolved oxygen content in rainwater is much higher than in water sources such as tap water, which can promote plant growth. At the same time, during the process of formation, rainwater combines with a certain amount of nitrogen compounds, and these nitrogen elements can be absorbed and used by plants, with a higher absorption efficiency than ordinary organic fertilizer. This kind of nitrogen compound is even more abundant in rainwater during thunderstorms!

At the same time, rainwater can also wash away the dust that usually clings to plant leaves, which can improve the efficiency of plant photosynthesis. Especially in places with a lot of dust, such as next to coal mines and factories, where heavy dust affects plant growth, the plants look much more refreshed after being rinsed with rainwater!

- Points to note -

Rainwater has quite a few benefits. If you collect it and then water with it, there is no problem, but many people think, isn't it more convenient to just let the plants get rained on directly? In fact, not all plants can be rained on, and there are a few situations everyone should pay attention to!

Plants that have just been repotted or are still settling in should not be rained on too much. Since the root system has not yet fully adapted, once rainwater accumulates, it will bring more risks.

Pay attention to how long it rains. In many places in the south, when it rains it lasts for several days, or even drizzles continuously for 2 or 3 weeks. For some plants with fleshy roots, such as clivia, orchids and dahlias, and some plants that fear waterlogging, such as the money tree, hydrangea, Zamioculcas zamiifolia and kalanchoe, as well as most succulents including cacti, be careful not to let water accumulate in the pot soil. If the rain lasts a long time, after one or two days of rain it is better to move them to a ventilated place for care.

Plants with fuzzy leaves should also not be rained on for a long time, such as calceolaria, gloxinia, begonia, and Gerbera. Among succulents there are also many varieties with fuzzy leaves, such as Kalanchoe tomentosa and Cotyledon tomentosa. When water remains on the leaf surface, especially at the base, it is very easy for the stem to rot.

As long as you grasp the right degree, a proper amount of rain will make succulents and flowers grow more vigorously! Just looking at them makes you happy!
