These 4 flowers cannot have their leaves sprayed with water - spray one and it dies

When many flower lovers water their plants, they just take a watering can and water everything in one go, only to find that some flowers start showing various diseases and rotten leaves. In fact, some flowers cannot have water poured on their leaves, and you may not have noticed this normally. Let's take a look!

Cactus

Cactus is very drought-tolerant, and too much water easily causes root rot. Generally, water along the edge of the pot, not on the ball itself. Leftover water may cause the plant to rot. For cactus, watering generally means water thoroughly only after the soil has dried out completely, and normally you do not water very often.

African daisy

African daisy has well-developed fleshy roots and a very strong ability to absorb water, so when watering, be careful not to let water accumulate. When watering, observe the condition of the African daisy. It is best to water when the leaves are slightly soft but not wilting. If the leaves are still fairly upright, there is no need to water. African daisy flower buds are also very afraid of water, and easily rot when they touch water. Do not pour water into the center of the leaves, and especially do not pour it on the flower buds, as this may cause the buds to rot and increase the possibility of stem rot.

Wax begonia

Wax begonia leaves have many fine hairs. If water on the leaves cannot evaporate for a while, the stomata become blocked by the water, which easily leads to rotten leaves and other diseases. Wax begonia grows relatively fast, so during the growing period you can water a little more moistly, but do not let water accumulate. When watering, be sure not to pour water on the flowers or leaves, as this easily causes them to rot. It is best to water along the edge of the pot.

Succulent plants

Many succulents have a powdery coating on their leaf surfaces, such as Pachyphytum 'Amethystinum', Saussurea involucrata, Echeveria 'Chuxian', Pachyphytum 'Xingmeiren', and Echeveria 'Pishilian', among other varieties. Some have fine hairs, such as Senecio haworthii, Echeveria pulvinata, Cotyledon tomentosa, and Kalanchoe tomentosa, among other varieties. Generally, when watering succulents, do not pour water on the leaves. For varieties with a powdery coating, watering on the leaves may damage this layer of white powder, and it is very difficult to restore later. For those succulents with fine hairs, if there is water on the leaves, it is relatively hard for it to evaporate quickly, and disease is likely to occur.

I wonder whether little black spots have ever appeared on the succulent leaves in flower lovers' homes? In fact, many of these little black spots are caused by leftover water droplets on the leaves being magnified by sunlight and sunburned. So from this point of view, do not water on the leaves either; generally just water along the edge of the pot.

There are also some plants that should be watered right in the center of the leaves, such as ornamental bromeliads, that is, the common Guzmania, whose cup center can be watered. If the cup center lacks water, the plant and flowers may instead wilt and dry up. But for the vast majority of flowers, no leftover water should remain in the center of the leaves when watering!
