Most flower lovers prefer to care for their flowers outdoors. Plenty of sunlight and good ventilation are both very beneficial to the growth of flowers. But especially in this rainy summer, the care of these 5 kinds of flowers requires extra attention. If they get rained on by accident, they will really be dead for good!

Dahlia

Root rot from rain:

Dahlia is a plant that loves water, so giving it plenty of water is a must. At the same time, it is worth noting that it cannot be rained on; after being rained on, it is very easy for the plant's root system to rot, along with yellowing leaves and rotten leaves.

Key care points in summer:

Dahlia is a plant that likes to grow in a relatively shady environment; too strong light will affect flowering. The light duration is generally 10-12 hours, and direct sunlight should be avoided when cultivating seedlings.

Clivia (Kaffir lily)

Heart rot from rain:

Clivia can be rained on, but if it encounters the plum rain season in the south as well as continuous rainy weather, the flower stamens of Clivia are very prone to rotting.

Key care points in summer:

In summer, it is best to place Clivia on a relatively bright, well-ventilated north balcony, so as to avoid water evaporation from the leaves and potting soil caused by exposure to the sun, and let it pass through a semi-dormant state.

Asparagus fern

Drying out and root rot from rain:

Asparagus fern generally cannot be rained on, unless it is extremely dry. If water accumulates after rain, dead branches and root rot are certain.

Key care points in summer:

In summer, asparagus fern likes ventilated and shady places, and some dead branches and yellowing leaves should be appropriately pruned off.

Cactus

Root rot and heart rot from rain:

The growth of the cactus does not require much abundant light. Do remember that it is a plant that cannot be rained on. Once it is rained on, it will slowly begin to rot from the roots because of water accumulation, until the entire center of the ball has rotted away.

Key care points in summer:

In summer, the cactus should be placed on a south balcony with better sunlight so that it can be fully exposed to sunlight, but the cactus cannot be exposed to the sun all day long. Remember to provide appropriate shade at noon, and also pay attention to ventilation.

Fuchsia

Root rot and withered leaves from rain:

Fuchsia is relatively sensitive to rainy weather in summer. If the drainage of the potting soil is poor, root rot is very likely to occur after being rained on.

Key care points in summer:

In summer, fuchsia cannot grow in a high-temperature environment. It should be appropriately shaded for it, and it is best to place it in a place with air conditioning, and increase air humidity, for example by sprinkling water around it, which is all fine.
