Which potted plants need to be protected from rain in summer
Answering common knowledge about flower cultivation for netizens, which potted plants need to be protected from rain in summer. Next, the editor will introduce to everyone.
Many friends have a habit of moving the flower pots outside when it rains, allowing the flowers to get wet in the rain. On one hand, it lets the flowers take a bath, and on the other hand, it absorbs some nitrogen fertilizer - it's not that thunderstorms are good for crops! This method is not bad, but it is not suitable for all flowers.
The main types of potted plants that are not suitable for getting wet in the rain during summer are as follows:
First, there are flowers that fear waterlogging: These flowers can tolerate drought but fear waterlogging. After getting wet in the rain, the flower pot can easily accumulate water. If the accumulated water in the pot is not drained in time, the excessive moisture in the soil will cause the pot soil to be severely hypoxic, which will cause the roots of the flowers to lack oxygen and die.
(1) Cacti and succulents. These flowers can tolerate drought but fear waterlogging, such as cacti, aloe vera, Hymenocallis, and落地生根. If the pot soil remains wet for a long time after rain, it is most prone to leaf rot and root rot.
(2) Flesh-rooted and bulbous plants. Such as orchids, peonies, Chinese peonies, kaffir lilies, dahlias, tuberous begonias, lucky grass, cyclamen, and鹤望兰. They often die from waterlogging after getting wet in the rain.
(3) Some woody flowers also fear waterlogging, such as plum blossoms, peach blossoms, cassia, azaleas,蜡梅, bougainvillea, Norfolk pines, Brazilian wood, variegated fragrant osmanthus, and begonias, etc. They will be in danger if they are waterlogged for several days.
Second, there are flowers that enter a dormant or semi-dormant state in summer. The pot soil of flowers entering a dormant or semi-dormant state should not be too wet. In the hot summer, flowers that are dormant or semi-dormant, do not produce leaves or flowers, such as tulips, fuchsia, cyclamen, geraniums, begonias, and narcissus, should be watered less and should not be rained on.
Third, there are flowers whose leaves or flower buds are very sensitive to moisture. Some flowers are particularly sensitive to moisture and should not be sprayed with water on the plants. Flowers like tuberous begonias, calceolaria, and epiphyllum have dense villi on their leaves, which do not evaporate easily after getting wet and often cause leaf rot, so they should not be rained on. The leaf buds of cyclamen corms, the flower buds in the leaf clusters of African daisies, and the pseudobulbs in the leaf clusters of kaffir lilies all fear moisture. Excessive moisture can cause rot, so these flowers should also be protected from the rain.
The above [] provides a comprehensive introduction to which potted plants need to be protected from rain in summer, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
