4 drought-tolerant, easy-care flowers that can survive without watering for a month

Life always needs a little joy, and growing flowers is one such choice. Watering is very important in flower care, so if you want to avoid the hassle, you can choose easy-to-grow ones. Below are 4 flowers that are very drought-tolerant and can still thrive even if you forget to water them.

1. Agave

Agave is a common landscaping flower in gardens and has great ornamental value.

When watering agave, follow the principle of preferring dry over wet. It does not need frequent watering; generally water once about every 15 days, and water only after the soil surface has dried out completely. Water thoroughly, but do not let water accumulate.

2. Dracaena fragrans (corn plant)

Dracaena fragrans is a large indoor potted plant. Placed in the home, it looks elegant and reflects an exotic ambiance.

Dracaena fragrans has a low water requirement but needs air humidity, so spray the leaves frequently. The potting soil should not become waterlogged, to avoid root rot.

3. Jade plant (Crassula ovata)

The jade plant is elegant and distinctive, with thick, deep green leaves. It is upright and beautiful, making it an excellent plant for home containers.

The jade plant likes a dry environment and should be watered sparingly, watering when the soil is dry and stopping when it is moist. Summer is its dormant period, so watering should be strictly controlled, keeping the potting soil dry but not parched.

4. Crown of thorns (Euphorbia milii)

Crown of thorns has a long flowering period, with red flowers that are small and delicate, bright and eye-catching.

Crown of thorns has fleshy leaves and is relatively drought-tolerant, so it does not need excessive watering. Too much watering and overly wet potting soil can cause root rot. Normally, when watering, take care to keep the potting soil dry.

In summer, water evaporates relatively quickly, so appropriately increase the amount and frequency of watering.
