Other people’s succulents are fresh and clean, but yours are an eyesore?

Green Halo (Bunny)

The little rabbit can be said to be the first generation of succulent "Internet celebrity". Many people fell in love with succulents because of it. Looking at its cute rabbit head, who can resist being tempted?

However, many flower lovers have grown their rabbits into something that looks like a monster. Don’t doubt it, this is still your little rabbit, it just grew up. It has other growth states.

1. Summer hibernation

In summer, the rabbits hibernate and become completely dry and look like they are dead. Don't worry, in autumn when the temperature drops, water them and the rabbit ears will pop out again.

2. Lack of water

As rabbit ears grow longer, they are not as cute anymore. Flower lovers also find that sometimes the ears droop, which is a sign of lack of water. Water them quickly.

3. Ear cutting

Some flower lovers think that long ears are too ugly, so they should cut them off (don’t forget to apply some carbendazim on the cut), and small ears will grow again after cutting.

Bear Paw

The chubby bear paw has leaves like bear paws and is painted with red nail polish.

Let’s take a look at the bear’s paws grown by some flower lovers: the leaves are not full, and the little claws are not obvious. They can only be considered ordinary. How can they be called bear’s paws?

1. Raise small claws

The red claws indicate that the bear's paw is in good condition. During the growing season in spring and autumn, it should be exposed to the sun more often. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and the condition will be revealed.

2. Fatten the bear paw

Use loose, nutrient-rich soil: gravel mixed with coconut coir, leaf mold, etc. for planting. Water the plants in spring and autumn depending on the soil, and water only when the soil is dry. Water less during the summer dormancy period.

Black Mage

Black Magic is very cool, and it is easier to grow and sun-resistant than other succulent plants. It is the first choice for novice flower lovers.

However, some flower lovers still come to ask for help: Why is the black magic master getting thinner and thinner? At this glance, it has lost all its domineering charm

1. Water control

Normally, you can water the Black Magic Master once every 10-15 days. You don’t have to worry about it in the summer. Just put it in a cool and ventilated place and you don’t have to worry about it. I guess watering it once a month is too much.

2. Single position becomes long position

A single-headed black magic master is not very beautiful. You can cut off its head in spring and autumn (disinfect the incision with carbendazim solution), and it will immediately grow a circle of small flower heads.

Peach Egg

The pink peach egg is also a new favorite of succulents in the past two years. The most attractive thing is its color.

But the problem is its color. Many flower lovers grow peach eggs that are pale white, and some of the leaves are not round and do not look like eggs at all.

1. Coloring

If you want to maintain your pink color, you need to get some sun. In winter, spring and autumn when the temperature is not high, you can dry it in the sun without worry and put it indoors to keep warm at night. In summer, peach eggs have a short dormant period, and they only need to be exposed to the sun for 2-3 hours a day (shaded when the temperature is high).

2. Get fat

The leaves of the peach egg are not compact and shriveled, which may be due to lack of water. First, choose loose sandy soil to plant it. Water it once every 3-5 days in spring and autumn. Water it less during the dormant period in summer and less in winter when the circulation is slow.

Mountain Rose

Because of its rose-like appearance, mountain roses are also very popular. Growing them is both romantic and special.

Some flower lovers are puzzled. They are clearly raising "roses", but why do they not look like roses at all?

1. Growth period and dormancy period

Mountain roses hibernate in the summer (June-July), and their leaves begin to gather into roses. This also happens when the winter is too cold. In the spring and autumn growing seasons, their leaves open and become more unrestrained.

2. Rose blooming effect

If you want to maintain the effect of roses during the growing period, you should quickly grow them to a full size: when they are dormant in summer, place them in a ventilated and cool place, control the water (water them once every 10-15 days), and accumulate nutrients to increase the number of small heads.

Te Yulian

Those who grow succulents must have a "lotus". The Jade Lotus is a special one. Its leaves curl upward and inward like a tribute chrysanthemum.

However, most of the special jade lotuses grown by flower lovers have four-legged branches, and the leaves are not only hooked inward, but also few in number, thin and long.

1. Avoid excessive growth

The thin and long leaves of the Jade Lotus are also a sign of leggy growth. At this time, you should control the watering (water once every 5-7 days). In spring and autumn, you can expose the leaves to the sun to make them compact.

2. Suffication

The tetsu lotus is a variety that is easy to stunt. If some flower lovers are not used to it, they can directly cut off the top and leaves and re-graft.

Golden Dieffenbachia

As the fastest growing plant among succulent plants, golden evergreen is also a must-have for succulent flower lovers. It really adds a lot of color to the combination pot.

Even though it is such an easy-to-grow grass, some flower lovers still make it droopy and lifeless.

1. Heavy water and heavy sun exposure

If you want a golden color, expose your skin to the sun more often. You can expose your skin to the sun as much as you want in the summer (below 32 degrees Celsius). It will turn golden if you expose your skin to the sun. The wilting is due to lack of water. Water it every 2-3 days. Be careful not to water it too much, or the roots will rot.

2. Pruning

As a potting grass, the fast-growing golden grass can easily become messy, so just pinch it off when you find it~
