If you grow these 6 kinds of flowers at home, never water them carelessly again
Water your Money Tree less!
The Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) has an underdeveloped root system and a weak ability to absorb water. If you water it too much, the roots cannot breathe and will rot.
How often is it best to water?
The watering frequency for a Money Tree depends on room temperature. Taking 10°C as the dividing line, when the room temperature is below 10°C, water the Money Tree once every 1 or 2 months. When the room temperature is above 10°C, water the Money Tree once every 20~30 days. Below 5°C, stop watering entirely.
What should you pay attention to when watering?
1. Water thoroughly, do not give half-hearted watering. Before watering, you can use chopsticks to loosen the soil around the Money Tree, to avoid the soil being too compacted to water through.
2. The best time to water a Money Tree is when the weather is clear. On rainy or overcast days water may accumulate, so it is best to first draw tap water, let the water sit indoors for 1 or 2 days, and then water the Money Tree, so the roots are not damaged.
Water your Kalanchoe less!
Kalanchoe belongs to the succulent group of plants. Its leaves are fleshy and have a strong water-storing ability, making it fairly drought-tolerant, but once there is too much water and it becomes waterlogged, the roots rot easily.
How often is it best to water?
1. If the Kalanchoe has not yet grown flower buds, generally water once a week. After flower buds appear, watering should be controlled, watering about once every 10 days is enough. When the room temperature is below 5°C, you can stop watering.
What should you pay attention to when watering?
1. It is best to water when the weather is good, so the water can fully evaporate and waterlogging is avoided.
2. When watering, do not splash water onto the flower buds, otherwise the Kalanchoe is very likely to drop its buds.
Water your Christmas Cactus less!
The Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera) has lush green branches and leaves and looks beautiful with its bright red blooms, but it belongs to the cactus family, is rather afraid of waterlogging, and should be watered less.
How often is it best to water?
If the Christmas Cactus has not yet grown flower buds, water once every 7 or 8 days. If the Christmas Cactus has already grown flower buds, then watering should be reduced, watering about once every 10 days is enough.
What should you pay attention to when watering?
1. Water the Christmas Cactus on clear days, and when watering do not wet the flower buds, otherwise the buds will drop.
2. If the room temperature is below 5°C, you can stop watering the Christmas Cactus.
Water your Clivia less!
Clivia (Clivia miniata) has glossy green, upright leaves and bright, beautiful blooms. Its roots are fleshy and cannot tolerate waterlogging, so it must not be watered too much.
How often is it best to water?
The watering frequency for Clivia depends on room temperature. When the room temperature is below 10°C, you can stop watering the Clivia. Above 10°C, generally water the Clivia about once every 10 days.
What should you pay attention to when watering?
1. When watering Clivia, never use cold water. You can first draw tap water, then let it sit indoors for 1 or 2 days, and water the Clivia once the water temperature is close to room temperature.
2. When watering Clivia, be sure not to splash water into the leaf core. If it accidentally gets in, you should immediately wipe it dry with a tissue.
Water your succulents less!
Succulents like a dry, well-ventilated growing environment. Once the potting soil is too wet, or too much water collects on the leaves, the leaves and roots will rot.
How often is it best to water?
The watering frequency for succulents depends on room temperature. When the room temperature is below 5°C, stop watering. When the room temperature is 5~10°C, water once a month. When the room temperature is above 15°C, water once every 2 or 3 weeks.
What should you pay attention to when watering?
1. When watering succulents, it is best if the water temperature is close to room temperature, so as not to damage the succulents' roots.
2. When watering, try to pour the water into the potting soil, and do not splash water onto the succulents' leaves, otherwise the core rots easily.
Water your Camellia less!
Camellia is a particularly beautiful flower, and there are also especially many varieties, with red, yellow and white ones all available, but they have one thing in common, and that is that they must not be watered too much!
How often is it best to water?
If the Camellia has not yet produced flower buds, water once a month. If flower buds have already appeared, then follow the principle of watering when dry and stopping when wet, watering only when the potting soil is nearly dry, and watering until moist.
What should you pay attention to when watering?
1. Choose noon on a clear day to water the Camellia, and let the water sit for 1 or 2 days beforehand, so the Camellia's roots are not frost-damaged.
2. When the room temperature is below 5°C, or for Camellias planted in the ground in the yard, you can stop watering.
