1. Are you afraid of rain?

2. Will you die after being exposed to the rain?

Although chrysanthemums require watering during maintenance, they cannot tolerate moisture, so they are afraid of rain, especially when they are in bloom, which will cause the flower buds to fall and affect the ornamental value. During the normal growth stage, if it rains heavily for several days in a row, the accumulated water will cause the roots to become wet and rotten, and in severe cases will lead to death. If it is a short-term light rain, as long as the soil is loose, breathable and drainage-friendly, and there are normal drainage holes at the bottom of the flower pot, it will have less impact on the plants.

1. Are you afraid of rain?

Although chrysanthemums need watering during maintenance, they cannot tolerate the wet growth environment, so they are more afraid of rain, especially when they are growing. When blooming, the flower buds will fall off and the flowers will not open normally, seriously affecting the ornamental value. As for whether the growth of plants will be affected after being exposed to rain, it depends on the length of the rain. If it rains heavily for several days in a row, the plants will be hit by the rain. If the flower pot is filled with water, the accumulated water will cause the roots to grow. Water damage causes root rot, which has a greater impact on the plant. If it rains for a short period of time, as long as the soil inside is loose, breathable, and conducive to drainage, and there are normal drainage holes at the bottom of the flower pot, it will flow out in a while and have less impact on the plants.

2. Will you die after being exposed to the rain

Long-term rains or heavy rains may be difficult for plants to withstand and may lead to death. For the rest of the light rain, as long as the pot soil is good and treated in time, the plants will not die. After discovering that it is raining, move it to a place that is protected from the rain in time, pour out the accumulated water inside, and pay attention to ventilation. Loosen the soil appropriately to encourage the water in the flower pot to evaporate as quickly as possible, and be careful not to see strong light for a short period of time after being exposed to rain, otherwise the chrysanthemum will wither.
