These 5 flowers die as soon as they get rained on, and it will be too late if you don't move them back indoors

In spring, flower lovers like to keep their plants outdoors, since plants grow better after being exposed to wind and sun. But summer means the rainy season, and if these 5 flowers are still left outdoors, be careful, they may all die!

Dahlia


Root rot from rain:

Dahlias have relatively high water requirements. If they lack water, the leaves wilt, but too much water easily causes root rot. After rain in summer, the potting soil easily becomes too sticky, the rainwater cannot drain away easily, and root rot is the final result.

Summer care key points:

In summer, dahlias should be placed in a spot with good light so the roots can be sturdy, but when the temperature reaches above 30°C, midday sun protection should be done well.

Clivia


Heart rot from rain:

Clivia can occasionally be rained on, but during the plum rain season in the south and under continuous overcast and rainy weather, it is best not to let it get rained on, otherwise Clivia is very prone to heart rot.

Key points for growing flowers in summer:

In summer, Clivia can be placed on a north-facing balcony with bright light and good ventilation, which can both avoid exposure to blazing sun and prevent overly rapid evaporation of water from the leaves and potting soil.

Asparagus fern


Drying out and root rot from rain:

Unless it is an asparagus fern that is extremely dry, asparagus fern generally cannot be rained on. Asparagus fern fears waterlogging most. Once rainwater cannot drain away after rain, drying of the stems and root rot are unavoidable.

Summer care key points:

In summer, it is best to place asparagus fern by a cool, ventilated window, or under tree shade with good ventilation, and properly prune away dead branches and yellow leaves.

Cactus


Root rot and heart rot from rain:

During the plum rain season in the south, rainfall is heavy and there is almost no sunlight. Under such conditions, the cactus ball will begin to rot from the roots because of waterlogging, all the way until the entire core of the ball has completely rotted.

Summer care key points:

In summer, the cactus ball can be placed on a south-facing balcony with ample light to fully receive sunlight, but at midday it should still be properly shaded, and in addition, ventilation must be good.

Fuchsia


Root rot and withered leaves from rain:

Once summer arrives, fuchsia enters its dormant period. In high-temperature weather, frequent watering of fuchsia will cause root rot, let alone getting rained on!

Summer care key points:

In summer, fuchsia fears high temperatures most, so it is best to keep it in an air-conditioned room and frequently spray water on the surrounding ground to increase air humidity.

The rainy season has already arrived,

don't let your flowers take a "rainwater bath" anymore!
