Many beginner gardening friends always worry that their plants are short of water, and just can't resist the urge to water them, and as a result, plenty of plants end up dead from overwatering. Below, Hao Yanghu introduces 6 plants and flowers that you just can't water to death, especially suitable for beginner friends who love to water.

1. Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)

Monstera leaves are very large and transpire strongly on their own, especially in summer, when Monstera's water needs are relatively high. In summer, Monstera should be watered according to the principle of "better wet than dry", watering once in the morning and once in the evening every day; in winter, water once every 3-4 days. When the weather is dry, you also need to spray water into the air around the Monstera to increase air humidity.

2. Copper Coin Grass (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)

Half soil, half water, in sunlight - all you need to prepare is enough water.

3. Calla Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica)

Calla Lily loves moist potting soil and surroundings very much, and you can water and spray it every day, but do be careful that water must not remain in the leaf centers of the Calla Lily, otherwise it will cause soft rot.

4. Strawberry Begonia (Saxifraga stolonifera)

Strawberry Begonia stays lush and green under this kind of year-round moist condition.

5. Umbrella Plant (Cyperus alternifolius)

Umbrella Plant is also called Water Bamboo, and you can tell from the name that it loves water. Umbrella Plant doesn't even need watering, because you can simply place a water basin filled with water outside the pot it grows in, so you don't need to worry about it being short of water at all - you just need to top up the outer basin when the water level drops. However, the root system of Umbrella Plant grows very fast, so if you feel its growth has stalled, it's most likely that the roots have already filled the pot, and at that point you need to trim the roots and repot it.

6. Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum)

The first requirement Maidenhair Fern has for its environment is moisture. So for home gardening, a humid bathroom is the favorite environment for Maidenhair Fern. Being close to water gives it the advantage - a Maidenhair Fern placed near water naturally gets far more chances to be watered.

The above are the 6 plants and flowers that aren't afraid of watering, compiled by the Hao Yanghu gardening experts, especially suitable for beginner friends who love to water at the drop of a hat.
