Never spray water on delicate, gorgeous flowers. One spray and a whole pot dies.
When flowers are at their most vigorous blooming stage, flower lovers look at their beautiful blooms and want to spray them with water to make them bloom even more vigorously. In fact, not all flowers are suited to being sprayed with water. Once you spray water carelessly, it will cause the flowers a certain amount of harm, and the flowers may even all drop off. So today let us take a look at exactly which flowers are not suited to being watered. We will teach you to completely say goodbye to the everyday confusion zone!
Wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens-cultorum): spraying water is the easiest way to rot its leaves!
The wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens-cultorum) is a small flower that grows in dense clusters, and it is very beautiful when in bloom. But many flower lovers do not know that its leaves must not be sprayed with water. The reason is that the fine hairs on its surface, upon meeting water, will prevent the leaves from breathing normally, which is bad for its own growth.
The correct way to water:
In spring the wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens-cultorum) is at its most vigorous growth stage, and at this time the water it needs for growth is indispensable. Watering about once every 3 days is enough. The best watering method is to use a spray bottle and slowly water along the edge of the pot; watering from the top downward is forbidden. However, lightly spraying around the flowers is fine; the purpose of doing this is mainly to properly maintain air humidity.
Gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa): spraying water rots the leaves!
The gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa), which looks very beautiful, also must not have its leaves sprayed with water! Its surface also has fine hairs, and after contact with water the leaves will not breathe smoothly, which in turn affects the growth of the plant.
How to water correctly?
When watering the plant, also try to choose the most suitable time. The morning of each day is the most suitable period. It is worth noting that you must wait until the soil in the flowerpot is on the dry side before watering moderately. Each watering must be thorough.
Do not spray water on cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum); one spray and the buds rot!
Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum) is super beautiful when in bloom! But some flower lovers, when caring for cyclamen, will find that it is also very afraid of water. Especially during the blooming period, it must not be sprayed with water! Otherwise the result is that the flowers rot! This point is absolutely worth noting.
How to water correctly?
The best watering method for cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum) is the bottom-soaking method we usually use! Since it is actually a plant that does not much like water, just water it again when you see that the flower stems are not so upright. At the same time, in order to prevent the pot from rotting, adding a moderate amount of monopotassium phosphate solution when watering is a good choice. For its soil, it is also recommended to choose something breathable and loose!
Do not spray water on African daisy (Gerbera jamesonii); one spray and the buds rot!
The situation that most easily occurs with the African daisy (Gerbera jamesonii) is the rotting of the flower buds. So when the African daisy is about to bloom, touching it with water is forbidden, let alone spraying the flowers with water.
How to water correctly?
Watering the African daisy (Gerbera jamesonii) also has its tricks. The most direct method is to gently touch the plant's leaves with your hand, and if you find they are somewhat wilted, it is time to water it. The best state after watering is when water leaks out from the bottom of the flowerpot. Wait patiently for a while, and the plant's leaves will become lively again! If you do not see any obvious change, then at this point you need to consider whether root rot has appeared.
Do not spray water on clivia (Clivia miniata); one spray and the core rots!
Clivia (Clivia miniata) should be a relatively easy plant to care for. But some flower lovers, when caring for clivia, will find that it must not be sprayed with water. Once sprayed, water droplets will form on the leaves, and the droplets will naturally flow and gather in the leaf core, and the final result is a rotted core.
How to water correctly?
In spring clivia (Clivia miniata) is at its most vigorous growth stage. At this time the water supply must be sufficient and timely. Watering once a week is the most suitable. When caring for clivia, you must never wait until the soil is completely dry before watering!
I believe flower lovers will gain a lot from this! The most important thing is that flowers with fine hairs absolutely must not be sprayed with water! If the flowers you care for are often kept in a ventilated spot, then you can maintain the water supply as much as possible!
