Don't water your flowers randomly in summer; some plants die one pot after another when watered

Roses

Evaporation is fairly strong in summer; outdoor roses can be watered once every 1-2 days, indoor ones once every 2-4 days. Although roses enter a semi-dormant period in summer, they still bloom as usual; add a little 0.1% borax aqueous solution when watering, and the flower color will be more vivid.

Gardenia

Gardenias have a strong need for water in summer and can be watered once a day in the early morning or evening; the water should be set out in advance in the sun to avoid being lower than the pot soil temperature and damaging the gardenia's roots.

Succulents

Summer is a difficult hurdle for succulents to survive, and watering is even more crucial. Succulents come in many varieties, and watering frequency also varies, but it is roughly once every 1-2 weeks; when watering, pour slowly along the edge of the pot, and do not soak the soil through.

Coin grass

Coin grass can be considered the "water bucket" of the flower world; toss it in water and place it in the light and it will live very well. So in summer, it is best to use hydroponics or a half-soil, half-water setup; just make sure the water level in the pot is maintained.

Clivia

The secret to watering Clivia in summer is to water less but often; water when you see the pot soil become dry, and do not soak it through every time, otherwise it easily accumulates water and rots the roots.

Jasmine

Summer is the vigorous growth period for jasmine; jasmine likes ample sunlight, so the pot soil evaporates fairly strongly and water must be replenished in time. Once you see the pot soil become dry, water it thoroughly, and it is best to choose early morning or evening for watering.

Petunia

Because evaporation is fairly strong in summer, the amount of water given to petunias should be appropriately increased, about once every 2-3 days. In summer, place petunias on a well-ventilated balcony to ensure air circulation.

Asparagus fern

The stems and leaves of asparagus fern are rather slender; once it lacks water, it easily develops dead branches and yellow leaves, so in summer, besides watering once every 2-5 days, also frequently spray water on the leaves and around the plant.

Azalea

Larger azalea plants can be watered once every 1-2 days, with water sprayed on the leaves and the ground around the pot every morning and evening. For smaller azaleas, water once you see the pot soil turn white and dry.

Bougainvillea

If bougainvillea is watered too much, it easily grows leggy and develops yellow leaves without blooming, so wait until the pot soil is completely dry before watering. You can insert a disposable chopstick into the flower pot and take it out before each watering to see whether the surface is dry; if it is dry, then water thoroughly.

Crab claw orchid

Crab claw orchid enters a dormant period in summer, so the amount of water should be controlled; it can be watered about once every 15 days, and when watering, just pour a circle along the edge of the pot, with no need to soak it through.

Monstera

Because summer temperatures are high and monstera's own leaves are very large, evaporation is especially strong. It is recommended to water once each in the early morning and evening, and at the same time sprinkle water on the ground to increase humidity.
