4 kinds of flowers that fear scorching sun the most, they only thrive when kept in a shady spot
It has been getting hotter and hotter lately, and the sun is getting more and more vicious. Many flower-growing friends are complaining:"Why does my flower wilt after being in the sun?" Actually, not all flowers are "sunflowers" - some flowers are naturally afraid of sun, and once exposed they get yellow leaves and scorched tips, which really breaks your heart!
Clivia:This flower looks majestic, but it is actually very delicate. Many people think its leaves are thick and should be sun-tolerant, but after placing it on the balcony, within a few days the leaves get sunburn spots, as if they have grown"freckles", yellow and dry, and its appearance directly drops by half. Clivia is best placed in a spot with plenty of scattered light, such as by a living room window or in a hallway corner, where it can get a bit of soft morning sunlight before9o'clock each day; the strong sun at noon and in the afternoon must absolutely be avoided. If it accidentally gets too much sun, quickly move it to a shady place, water it a little with warm water to let it recover, and it might still be saved; if it stays in the scorching sun all the time, it will even struggle to bloom!
Goldfish hanging bellflower:This flower has a cute name, and its blooms hang from the branches like little goldfish, very charming. But it is a"little expert at fearing sun"; once exposed, the leaves wilt and curl, and in serious cases it even drops leaves and buds. It could originally bloom batch after batch, but after sun exposure it directly "goes on strike". Goldfish hanging bellflower likes a semi-shady environment best, such as by the bathroom door, by the kitchen window (not too close to cooking fumes), or draw a thin curtain to block the light. Normally do not water too much, but keep the air humid; when grown in shade, the leaves are glossy green and the little "goldfish" can hang all over the branches, super pretty!
Money tree:Many people keep it at home for the good meaning of"bringing wealth", but many also kill it, and many are killed by sun! The leaves of the money tree are large and thin, and it especially fears direct strong light; once exposed, the leaf edges scorch and dry, gradually the whole leaf turns yellow, and the trunk may also dehydrate and wrinkle. It is suitable for a place with bright light but no direct sunlight, such as beside the TV cabinet in the living room or in a study corner; even weaker light is fine, as long as it is not in scorching sun. Also, a reminder to everyone: the money tree is drought-tolerant, so do not keep watering it. Growing it in shade+watering less is what allows it to grow vigorously; otherwise, with both sun and waterlogging, the roots rot easily!
Anthurium:Its flowers are bright red, especially suitable as an indoor potted plant. But anthurium is also a"shade-tolerant type"; once in strong light, the petals fade and wilt, and the leaves also develop sunburn spots, looking listless. Normally place it in a spot with plenty of scattered light, such as by a bedroom window or at the entryway, ensuring3-4hours of soft light each day is enough. Anthurium likes moisture; usually you can spray a little water around the leaves, but do not let water accumulate in the flower center. When grown in shade, the flowering period can last several months, with red blooms paired with green leaves, the more you look the more you like it!
Not all flowers like to bask in the sun. These4kinds of flowers are typical "shade-tolerant contestants". If you have these kinds of flowers at home, quickly move them away from the scorching sun and place them in a cool, ventilated spot with scattered light, then water and fertilize according to their needs. They are sure to grow lush and green and bloom vigorously, and you will no longer have to worry about "sun-damaged flowers"!
