Never water the leaves of these 3 flowers, or the leaves will rot within a week
Don't water your flowers carelessly. For these 3 flowers, never water the leaves, or the leaves will rot within a week!
Watering flowers is an indispensable part of our gardening friends' daily lives, and it always feels like the simplest thing in the world. Just pick up the spray bottle and spray or sprinkle water directly into the pot. This kind of routine operation can be done by anyone.
However, not every kind of flower is suitable for this kind of spraying. Some plants and flowers cannot have their leaves watered, otherwise it will easily cause the leaves to rot, and may even directly cause the death of the flower. So, for such plants and flowers, everyone must remember not to mess with them carelessly.
The first is the Rieger begonia (Begonia x hiemalis). Because the Rieger begonia has a long flowering period and its blooms are bright and red, it is deeply loved by flower lovers. But this kind of flower has one fatal characteristic: when watering, water must never touch the leaves, otherwise the leaves and the heart of the plant will immediately rot before your eyes. So when caring for this plant, you must keep this firmly in mind! The specific watering method is to pour water from the edge of the flowerpot.
The second is the gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa). Likewise, this kind of plant and flower is very averse to having water on its leaves. Because the gloxinia is drought-tolerant, it is recommended to water only after the potting soil has dried out. When watering, for this kind of plant and flower, we usually use the soaking method.
The third is the clivia (Clivia miniata). As an elegant and pure plant, the clivia is deeply favored by friends. Usually, for large-leaved plants and flowers like the clivia, we generally use a damp towel to wipe the leaves. This is because spraying water on the clivia often makes water flow into the heart of the leaves, which will then cause the heart to rot!
At the same time, we also remind all flower-loving friends that for plants whose leaves have fine fuzz, when watering, try not to pour water on the leaves, otherwise the leaf surface will not evaporate and the leaves will rot.
