Benefits of watering the flowers with a watering can

One: it can increase air humidity and reduce indoor temperature. When the weather is hot and dry, spraying water on flowers and plants can increase water absorption and reduce transpiration of the page. Most foliage plants have large leaves, which are suitable for humid and warm environments. The weather in the north is dry. Frequent water spraying and spraying can alleviate the dryness in the small environment and avoid the phenomenon of dead leaves and scorched edges of flowers and plants caused by dry environment.

Two: keep the leaves clean and make the flowers look more pleasing to the eye. At the same time, it can wash away the dust and pests on the plants, and prevent the young leaves from being burned and the flowers from dying prematurely.

Three: Some wet flowers, such as camellia, rhododendron, orchid, tortoise shell bamboo and so on. Spraying water on leaves often is very beneficial to their growth and development. In summer, if it suddenly clears up after rain or it is sultry at night, you should pay attention to spraying water to cool down and prevent diseases. The amount of water sprayed depends on the needs of flowers. Generally, water can evaporate quickly after spraying water, so the amount of water sprayed is the most appropriate. Seedlings and delicate flowers need to be sprayed with more water, as do new pots and cuttings that have not yet taken root. Tropical orchids, Araceae and bromeliads need to spray more water frequently.

Note: Some flowers are sensitive to water, such as Erythrina macrophylla, calceolaria and Begonia. Moreover, their leaves have thick fluff, so it is not easy to evaporate after water falls on them, so it is not advisable to spray water on the leaves. For blooming flowers, it is not advisable to spray more water, otherwise it will easily cause petal mildew or affect fertilization and reduce the fruiting rate. In addition, the leaf buds at the top of Cyclamen tuber, the flower buds in Gerbera jamesonii leaves and pseudobulb in the center of Clivia leaves are all afraid of water wet. These parts are fragile after spraying water.
