6 water-loving flowers that thrive the more you water them in summer, and wilt at the slightest drought

Summer is here. Aside from the strong sun, there is actually quite a lot of rain. Some flowers need controlled watering, while others need frequent watering. A few days ago I introduced several flowers that need controlled watering in summer, and today I will share with you the flowers that need frequent watering in summer, for your reference.

Plumbago auriculata (blue plumbago)

The blue plumbago, which is not afraid of sun and loves to spill over its pot, can be called the favorite variety of summer. Once it blooms, the blue plumbago can climb out into a whole wall of flowers, and in summer it can absolutely bring a touch of coolness to the home. Whether grown in the ground as a flower wall or cared for on a balcony, it can absolutely light up your small garden.

Blue plumbago care tips: In summer, watering the blue plumbago once a day is no problem. It likes a moist environment with good light, so when caring for it, be sure to place it on a south-facing balcony with good light at home. Spraying it once every half month with a monopotassium phosphate solution can make the blue plumbago bloom more.

Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)

In summer, the home absolutely needs a patch of fresh, guest-welcoming color. For a refreshing color and a good meaning, nothing beats pennywort. Just give it a little water, and it can grow into a big pot full.

Pennywort care tips: It loves water, it very much loves water. Although it can also be grown well indoors, if you want the leaves to be emerald green and big and round, then you must give it plenty of water and plenty of sun. About every half month, you can add 2-3 compound fertilizer granules to the water, which can make the pennywort leaves grow bigger than coins.

Monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant)

When growing flowers, besides choosing ones that are beautiful and have good meanings, you should also choose ones with certain beneficial effects, such as Monstera deliciosa. Keeping one pot at home can very well purify indoor air, and it is likewise a water-loving plant.

Monstera deliciosa care tips: It likes a moist environment. In summer, it can be watered almost every day. Spray the leaves in the morning and evening to increase air humidity, and just place it in a spot with scattered light indoors for care.

Mint

Mint, which can repel mosquitoes and can be brewed in water to clear heat and relieve summer heat, can be called one of the must-grow plants of summer. As long as the potting soil is kept moist and the light is suitable, mint easily grows to overflow its pot.

Mint care tips: Be sure to place it in a well-ventilated spot for care, otherwise it easily develops yellow leaves. Keep the potting soil moist, and frequently pinch off the tops and prune, otherwise it easily grows leggy.

Gardenia

This season is exactly the flowering period of gardenia. Many flower lovers say gardenia is not easy to grow, and the ones they buy home always tend to develop yellow leaves and not bloom. As long as you use the right method, gardenia is actually very easy to grow.

Gardenia care tips: It loves water. Keep the potting soil moist and place it in a spot with ample scattered light for care. When buying gardenia, try as much as possible to choose ones grown in their original pot with nutrient soil, and do not buy bare-root seedlings without pots. After the flowers fade, promptly prune off the spent flowers.

Maidenhair fern (Adiantum)

For flower lovers who often kill their plants, Bai Xiaomei'er recommends growing plants like maidenhair fern. Once considered wild grass, they have very vigorous vitality, and even if you grow them in the bathroom, they still grow very well.

Maidenhair fern care tips: It likes a high-humidity environment. Besides keeping the potting soil moist, you also need to frequently spray the leaves with water to increase air humidity. If grown in the bathroom, it is best to place it by a window that can be ventilated.

Of course, besides the 6 kinds listed above, there are many other plants that also very much love water. But no matter which kind, what you need to pay attention to when caring for them is that they must be placed in a ventilated spot for care. If ventilation is poor, the plants are very prone to developing yellow leaves. In addition, the watering frequency also needs to differ slightly depending on the type of planting soil. If grown in nutrient soil, its water retention is somewhat poorer, moisture evaporates quickly, and you need to water a bit more frequently. If grown in garden soil, relatively speaking, moisture evaporates more slowly. For summer watering, the soak-pot method is recommended, as it makes it easier to water thoroughly.

Alright, that is all for today's sharing. Flower lovers, what other flowers and plants suitable for summer care have you grown? You are welcome to leave comments to share and discuss your experience together, so that more flower lovers can grow their flowers well.
