6 houseplants to be careful when watering; water them wrong and they are easy to kill

In the day-to-day care of some plants, watering is one of the key steps. If any part of it is not done properly, it can easily lead to the plant's death! So which plants need special attention when it comes to watering?

1. Wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens-cultorum)

The surface of the wax begonia is not smooth; its surface is covered with many tiny hairs. If we water its leaves, the water droplets cling to the plant's hairs, making it hard for them to evaporate completely, so the leaves stay wet for a long time. This leads to rot.

2. Clivia (Clivia miniata)

If you spray its leaves, the water tends to be channeled into the leaf core, causing water to collect. Because of this, the water in the clivia's leaf core is very hard to evaporate completely, so it is also a plant prone to rot. To spray the clivia's leaves, we can gently wipe them with a cloth.

3. Gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa)

The gloxinia, similar to the wax begonia, also has many tiny hairs on its leaves. If sprayed, water easily collects on the gloxinia's leaves and causes rot. When watering it we need to be especially careful to prevent water from falling on the stems and leaves.

4. Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum)

The leaves of the cyclamen are also very afraid of water; if any moisture lingers on them, it easily causes rot. The cyclamen itself is a plant that likes warmth and cannot tolerate high temperatures. When watering it, we need to be careful not to splash water on the leaves.

5. Golden barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii)

The golden barrel cactus is a succulent plant, and its own water-storing ability is among the most outstanding of all plants. If you spray water on the golden barrel cactus, it can easily die from being too damp. When watering, we can water from the roots; never water from the top down. For golden barrel cactus care, let me tell you a bit more: when growing a golden barrel cactus in winter, we need to keep the ambient temperature above 5°C for it to survive the winter safely.

6. Succulents

Succulent care is extremely important. In winter, you do not need to spray succulents; if their moisture cannot evaporate, it easily causes black rot. You can also water them as little as possible, because succulents themselves have a very strong water-storing ability. For their care, they should be moved indoors in winter and placed on a balcony surface. When the room temperature is below 2°C, watering should be stopped.

The above 6 plants are all things that need special attention when we care for them. Once a mistake occurs, we can easily cause the plant's death. Flower growers, be sure to save this!
