Today, I'm going to share a little secret that will give you a new understanding of flower watering. Have you ever thought that when we water our leafy friends, some plants are absolutely not allowed to spray water on the leaves? This is not only an interesting plant talk, but also a prelude to the magical growth story.
First of all, let's talk about those plants that are "afraid of water", as if they are wearing waterproof armor. Let's talk about the Four Seasons Begonia, a little green fairy with tiny fluffy leaves. Once water is sprayed on the leaf surface, these fine hairs are like a plug in the faucet, and the water cannot evaporate in time, eventually causing the leaf to rot. Remember, when adding humidity to the begonias, you should skillfully cast the magic of water, do not "splash cold water", and give the plants a warm air humidity.
Next, Da Yantong is also a "afraid of water" guy, and its leaves are also densely covered with small fluff. Spraying water directly on the leaves is adding blockage to the plant, which may cause the leaves to rot. Therefore, when watering the big rock tree, you have to use a thin mouth kettle to gently pour it along the edge of the pot like an operation game, so as to avoid water dripping onto the leaves, and give the big rock tong a "high-tech spa".
Let's talk about Junzilan, this "eldest lady" is also quite picky. It has wide leaves, and once it gets mixed in with the dust by your splash, it can easily lead to core rot. The big leaves also need to be cleaned, and the best way for the orchid is to take a soft cloth dipped in some water and gently wipe the leaves, which not only keeps them clean, but also gives the orchid a "SPA".
Speaking of cyclamen, its leaf buds are terrified, and a spray of water is like a life-threatening attack on it. In addition, spraying water during the flowering period is a funny taboo, which can easily cause the flowers to not be fragrant. So, if you love your cyclamen, stay away from its leaves and let it enjoy a dry life.
Some people may feel that their cactus is too dirty and want to clean it. However, if you choose to spray water upwards, this can be a dangerous maneuver. Cactus balls are very sensitive to water and are prone to decay at once. If you really want to clean up, move the cactus to a well-ventilated area so that the moisture on it will disappear quickly.
