Rainwater contains more trace elements than tap water, so many flower lovers choose to let their plants get rained on when it rains, but not all plants and flowers are suitable for being rained on. Here, we have put together several types of plants and flowers that are not suitable for being rained on. Take a quick look and see if you have made a mistake.

Plants and flowers that fear waterlogging

The first category is plants and flowers that fear waterlogging. Some plants and flowers are drought-tolerant and fear waterlogging. After rain in summer, water easily accumulates in the flowerpot. If the accumulated water is not drained in time, there will be more water in the soil, the potting soil will be severely short of oxygen, and the plant roots will die from lack of oxygen.

Cacti and succulents: these plants and flowers are drought-tolerant and fear waterlogging. If they are rained on, they are most prone to leaf rot and root rot. Such as

Golden barrel cactus

Aloe

Epiphyllum

Bryophyllum

Fleshy-rooted and bulbous types often die after being rained on because of excessive waterlogging. Such as

Phalaenopsis

Clivia

Dahlia

Reineckea

Cyclamen

Peony

Bird of paradise

Some woody flowers themselves also fear waterlogging damage. If they are soaked for a few days, it will be very dangerous. Such as

Azalea

Bougainvillea

Daphne odora 'Aureomarginata'

Plants and flowers in dormant or semi-dormant states

The second category is plants and flowers that enter dormancy or semi-dormancy in summer. For plants and flowers in a dormant or semi-dormant state, the potting soil must not be too wet; water them less, and even more so do not let them get rained on. Such as:

Geranium

Wax begonia

Narcissus

Plants and flowers that are very sensitive to water and moisture

The third category is plants and flowers whose leaf surfaces or flower buds are very sensitive to water and moisture. Some plants and flowers have fine hairs on their leaves, and after water falls on them it is not easy to evaporate, so they are not suitable for being watered. For those especially sensitive to water and moisture, do not spray water on the plants, such as:

Gloxinia

Pocketbook plant

African daisy

If you grow any of the above plants and flowers, then when it rains, hide them tightly indoors.
