Although it is still May, friends in the south have long since entered summer. Summer temperatures are high and evaporation is strong, so watering flowers has become the most important task for flower lovers. Today, Huahua will introduce several flowers that especially love water. In summer, they must be given plenty of water. Come and see if you have any of them at home?

Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)

Monstera especially loves a humid environment. In the high-temperature environment of summer, it is best to water once in the morning and once in the evening. In addition, Monstera has large leaves and evaporation is strong, so you can often spray water on the leaves or sprinkle water around the plant.

Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides)

Summer is the peak growing season for gardenia, and its water demand is also relatively large. You can water thoroughly once in the early morning or in the evening, but be careful not to let water accumulate. About every 5 days, add a little citric acid and ferrous sulfate to the water when watering, which can make the gardenia leaves more vibrant.

Mint (Mentha)

Summer is the peak growing season for mint, and its water demand is especially large. It is best to water once a day to keep the soil moist. In a dry environment, mint leaves easily turn yellow.

Peperomia (Peperomia obtusifolia)

When the summer temperature approaches 30 degrees, water once in the early morning or in the evening. When Peperomia lacks water, its leaves easily lose their luster. When planting Peperomia, you can choose soil with good air and water permeability to avoid water accumulation.

Inch plant (Tradescantia zebrina)

Inch plant especially loves a humid environment. In the high-temperature season, it needs to be watered once a day. When it is especially hot, you can sprinkle water around the plant to maintain air humidity. A dry environment easily causes the leaf edges of inch plant to scorch and even causes the plant to wither.

Cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior)

During the growing season, give the cast iron plant plenty of water. When the potting soil is dry, water it thoroughly, and often spray water on the leaves and sprinkle water around it to maintain air humidity. In addition, you can apply a dilute liquid fertilizer once a month, which helps the leaves become more robust and glossy.

Iris (Iris)

In the wild, iris often grows beside ditches, which shows how much it loves water. In summer when temperatures are high, once you find the potting soil has become dry, water it thoroughly immediately and often spray water on the leaves. This can not only maintain air humidity, but also keep iris leaves green and glossy, increasing their ornamental value.

Maidenhair fern (Adiantum)

Maidenhair fern also loves water very much and can be watered once a day. In summer when temperatures are high, you can mist the leaves, which can not only increase air humidity, but also stimulate the growth of maidenhair fern and keep the leaves fresh and bright.
