Are chrysanthemums afraid of rain? Will they die after being exposed to rain?

1. Are you afraid of rain?

Although chrysanthemums need to be watered during maintenance, they cannot tolerate a humid growing environment, so they are afraid of rain, especially when they are blooming, which will cause the buds to fall and the flowers to fail to open normally, seriously affecting their ornamental value. As for whether the rain will have a big impact on the growth of plants, it depends on how long the rain lasts. If it rains heavily for several consecutive days, the plants will be hit by the rain and the flowerpots will be filled with water. The accumulated water will cause the roots to rot, which will have a greater impact on the plants. If it is a short period of light rain, as long as the soil inside is loose, breathable and easy to drain, and there are normal drainage holes at the bottom of the flowerpot, the water will flow out after a while and will have little impact on the plants.

2. Will you die after being caught in the rain?

Prolonged rain or heavy rain may cause the plants to die. For other light rains, as long as the soil in the pot is good and timely treatment is taken, the plant will not die. If you find that it has been exposed to rain, move it to a place that is sheltered from the rain in time, pour out the accumulated water, and pay attention to ventilation, loosen the soil appropriately, and promote the evaporation of water in the pot as soon as possible. Also, be careful not to expose the plant to strong light for a short period of time after being exposed to rain, otherwise the chrysanthemum will wilt.
