But if you want to grow flowers well, watering is truly key. Water is the source of all things, so only by watering correctly can plants grow well. Especially in summer, you must water correctly, because if the method is wrong, your beloved plants really will die. With that in mind, today's topic is:

When growing flowers in hot weather, you must water them "correctly." If the method is wrong, 5 kinds of plants will all "die"!

I hope this is helpful to you!

1. Clivia (Clivia miniata)

Clivia has slender leaves and gorgeous blooms. Many flower lovers have commented that even if their clivia does not bloom, its paired slender leaves alone are enough to admire, so there really are many fans of clivia.

When watering clivia in summer, you must be careful. Some flower lovers may think that summer is too hot and that more watering is needed, but that is actually wrong, because clivia enters a dormant state in summer. So when watering clivia in summer, once every 10 days or so is enough. Also, when watering, do not let water run down the leaves into the leaf center, because when the temperature is too high, this can cause the clivia's core to rot, leading to irreparable loss, and some clivia may even die as a result.

2. Geranium (Pelargonium)

Anyone who has grown geraniums knows that geraniums are an especially easy-to-grow little flower. In general, they are very simple to care for and easily fill out a pot, and many beginners can grow them well too. But geraniums fear the heat of summer most of all, so if you want geraniums to make it through summer safely, summer watering is truly important. Many flower lovers' geraniums simply cannot get past the summer watering hurdle.

When watering geraniums in summer, you must be careful not to get water on the leaves, or the geranium's leaves will rot, because geraniums like dryness and fear dampness. It is best to use the soaking method; watering this way will definitely soak through. If you do not water thoroughly and only give them a half watering, the geranium will quickly wither.

As for watering frequency, flower lovers should decide according to actual conditions. In general, once every 5-10 days. In summer, they must never be exposed to blazing sun; keep geraniums in a cool, ventilated spot.

3. Crab Claw Orchid (Schlumbergera truncata)

Crab claw orchid is also a potted plant that flower lovers all like very much. So how should crab claw orchid be watered in summer?

Because summer is the dormant season for crab claw orchid, you definitely must not water too much in summer, or it will cause root rot and death. Watering once or twice a month is enough, and do not water too much; just water a circle around the edge of the pot. Of course, in summer, crab claw orchid definitely must not be fertilized.

4. Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana)

Kalanchoe has emerald-green leaves, thick and juicy, with many varieties and rich flower colors, and it symbolizes good fortune. Many people like to keep a pot at home. So how should kalanchoe be watered in summer?

Kalanchoe is a potted plant that likes coolness and fears heat, so it goes dormant during the high temperatures of summer. At this time, we must shade it and cool it down, and we definitely must not water it too much, or it will die outright.

When watering kalanchoe in summer, wait until the pot has dried out completely and its leaves have wilted before watering, and then water thoroughly in one go. You can insert a small wooden stick into the pot to test it; you need to wait until the soil inside the pot is dry before watering. Be sure to follow the principle of watering thoroughly only after complete drying.

5. Money Tree (Pachira aquatica)

The money tree is a potted plant with evergreen leaves year-round that can purify the air and symbolizes bringing in wealth. Many people keep one at home, but the money tree's root system is not well developed, so if you want to grow it well, watering is truly key, and you must pay even more attention in summer. Otherwise, you may not even know how your money tree died.

In summer, when watering the money tree, be sure to check the color of the potting soil. Only water when the potting soil turns pale and shows signs of drying and cracking, because the money tree's root system is not well developed, while its huge trunk has a fairly good water-storage capacity. So do not worry that the money tree will die of drought. In summer, watering once every 20 days or so is enough.

As for how to water potted plants in summer, that is all we will share today. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy it!

I believe that as long as you put in care, you will surely grow the plants at home well. What do you think?
