These 5 flowers drink their fill on rainy days and easily burst into full bloom
Recently, many places have had abundant rainfall. If you have these flowers at home, why not move them outside to get rained on? It not only makes the plants' flowers and leaves cleaner, but also makes them grow more vigorously, bursting into bloom in no time and looking their best! Come and see which flowers love the rain this much!
Hydrangea:
Hydrangea is famously fond of water. After being rained on, it looks its absolute best, with delicate, gorgeous blooms and leaves standing upright and spreading out, so enticing!
Notes:
1. Hydrangea leaves are huge and evaporate strongly, so they can tolerate a fairly large amount of water. However, potted hydrangeas had best not be left in continuous rain for many days, and you must make sure to drain promptly, otherwise there is a risk of root rot.
2. If hydrangea is to be rained on for a long time, choose potting soil with good drainage. You can mix it from 2 parts garden soil, 2 parts coconut coir and 1 part coarse sand.
Canna lily:
The canna lily originates from South America. It tolerates heat and moisture and greatly loves the nourishment of rainwater. When it rains, move it outdoors to get rained on, and its flowers will bloom even more delicately and charmingly.
Notes:
1. Potted canna lilies that are rained on often need potting soil with good water permeability and air permeability. After the rain, be sure to drain away the standing water promptly to avoid root rot.
2. In summer when there is no rain, keep the canna lily's potting soil moist at all times. Water thoroughly, and spray the leaves 1-2 times a day.
Pennywort:
The fresh and dainty pennywort becomes even more beautiful after being rained on, like mini lotus leaves hung with glistening dew. What's more, a proper rain shower makes pennywort grow even more vigorously, instantly filling the pot, with its size doubled!
Notes:
1. Pennywort can be placed outdoors to get rained on without worry; there is no need to fear the water will drown it. On the contrary, during periods lacking rainwater, replenish water promptly, watering 2 times a day, for it to grow well.
2. After being rained on, pennywort not only grows more lush but also produces dense little flowers. As for these little flowers, it is recommended to cut them off promptly after taking a look, because they are very good at "sucking up nutrients" and will use up a large amount of nutrients, affecting leaf growth.
Rain lily
The rain lily lives up to its name. After every heavy rain, it instantly bursts into full bloom. It truly loves water very much and can freely receive the baptism of wind and rain!
Notes:
1. After the rain lily is rained on, if a sunny day with rather intense light follows, be sure to shade it appropriately to avoid strong light scorching the leaves.
2. When there is no opportunity for it to be rained on, also be sure to keep it moist. In summer, water 1 time in both the morning and the evening, but do not overwater so that the rain lily sits in standing water for a long time.
Purple shamrock
The purple shamrock has a unique leaf shape, like little purple pinwheels, very endearing. Its small flowers are also very cute, and after every rain shower, they come popping right out!
Notes:
1. Although the purple shamrock loves the nourishment of rainwater, it is, after all, a bulbous flower, and long periods of rain easily rot the bulbs. So after being rained on for a period of time, promptly move it to a dry place and drain off the rainwater.
2. In summer when it is dry and rainless, water promptly to replenish moisture for the shamrock, and also spray water more often on the plant and the surrounding ground to increase the air humidity in its little microclimate.
