These five green plants cannot be exposed to strong sun; they easily get scorched to death

Once summer arrives, can the green plants at home be placed on the balcony or not? Actually, some plants are naturally afraid of the sun; a little too much sun and they droop, and in serious cases they die outright. Today let's talk about the five green plants most afraid of the sun. If you have any at home, you'd better move them right away!

Pothos:Pothos is practicallythe number one victim of the "sun killer." The neighbor's pothos originally grew glossy and lush, but after being placed on the south balcony for two days, the leaves went straight from dark green to scorched yellow, and felt dry and papery to the touch. Pothos is a plant that likes semi-shade environments, such as a corner of the living room or a bathroom windowsill; a bit of scattered light each day is enough. If you must put it on the balcony, remember to draw a gauze curtain.

Hydrangea:Hydrangea flowers look lively, but they are actuallypart of the "afraid of sun" group. When they first bloom in spring, putting them in the sun for a bit is fine, but by summer, three hours under the noonday sun can cause problems - the petal edges scorch and the leaves curl into little tubes. It is best placed on an east-facing balcony, where it can get some gentle morning sun, then hide in the shade after noon; this way the flowers bloom longer and the colors are brighter.

Phalaenopsis:Phalaenopsis orchids have particularly tender leaves; once exposed to the sun, sunburn spots appear, as ugly as if scalded. When growing phalaenopsis, remember one principle: let it see the sun, but do not let the sun"see" it. A bright place without direct light is most suitable, such as beside a bookshelf or next to the TV; as long as the light is bright enough it is fine. Strong light must absolutely be avoided.

Clivia:Clivia is considered fairly easy to grow, but it still cannot withstand scorching sun. Its leaves are thick; once sunburned, they start turning yellow from the leaf tips and slowly spread across the whole leaf, which not only affects appearance but may also affect blooming. Actually it likes soft light; placing it on a north windowsill or in the middle of the living room, and occasionally turning the pot so the leaves receive even light, keeps it growing especially vigorous.

Asparagus fern:Asparagus fern has a natural"ethereal air," but it is also the least able to withstand sun. If the sun is even slightly harsh, the whole plant turns yellow, and in serious cases it drops leaves and becomes a bare commander. When growing asparagus fern, remember "light but no direct sun" place it somewhere indoors with scattered light, such as a corner of the desk or the inner side of a windowsill, and keep it ventilated, so it can stay green.

Actually, these plants are not unable to get sun; they just cannot stand the strong direct light of summer. Find them a cool little corner and avoid the blazing noonday sun, and they can spend the summer comfortably.
