Entering summer, temperatures are high and water evaporates quickly. Most flowers need to be watered more frequently to avoid drying out, but there are just some flowers that must be watered less in summer, otherwise they easily die, especially the following 5 kinds. Pay attention when caring for them.

1. Cyclamen

Cyclamen enters dormancy in summer, and its leaves have basically all fallen off. At this time, we only need to place it in a cool and ventilated place and water it about once every half a month, keeping the potting soil in a moist-dry state. Never spray water on the tuber, otherwise it easily accumulates water and causes the tuber to rot.

2. Wax begonia

Among flowering plants, begonia is very tolerant of drought. This season it happens to be blooming well. If you want to grow it well, control the amount of watering and keep the potting soil slightly dry, otherwise the roots below easily rot. In addition, when watering, be careful never to spray water toward its leaves. The leaves of wax begonia have many fine hairs. If water is sprayed on them, the moisture is difficult to evaporate from the hairs and easily causes the leaves to rot.

3. Cactus

As everyone knows, cactus is very drought-tolerant. It itself has a strong water-storage capacity. If you spray water on a cactus, it easily becomes damp and dies. When watering, be careful to water from the roots, and water again when you see the potting soil turn pale.

4. Clivia

Clivia has fleshy roots. When there is too much water and the potting soil is not breathable, it is very easy for water to accumulate and the roots to rot. When watering, be very careful not to spray it onto the leaves. Water will flow along the leaves into the leaf core and cause water accumulation. Water in the leaf core is also not easy to evaporate and easily causes rot. To keep Clivia's leaves glossy green, you can wipe them with a damp cloth.

5. Gloxinia

This season is exactly the flowering period of gloxinia. Like wax begonia, its leaves have many small hairs. Spraying water on the leaves will likewise cause the hairs to accumulate water and rot.

6. Succulents

Anyone who loves growing succulents knows that entering summer, when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, they basically all need to be kept with watering stopped, and water should not be sprayed on the leaves either, as it easily causes the leaf core to rot.
