Many people like to grow flowers and plants at home or in the yard, but not all plants are suitable for growing in the yard. Compared to flowers, some succulents are not only easy to care for, but they can also bring a unique aesthetic to the decoration.
Among the many flower lovers, I am very impressed by Mrs. Zhang's flower-raising skills, and she does "have a set" in raising succulents. Her yard is home to four types of succulents, and whenever these plants show their unique beauty, the whole yard resembles a charming little garden.
1. Peach eggs
Walking into Mrs. Zhang's yard, the first thing that catches your eye is the peach egg. Peach eggs are a succulent plant named for their thick leaves and pink color, which resemble delicate peaches. The leaves of peach eggs have a thin layer of hoarfrost on the surface, which increases their ornamental value. Peach eggs do not require much water and are very simple to maintain. As long as it is placed in a sunny place and watered regularly, it will maintain its beautiful appearance.
In order to make the peach eggs grow healthily, Mrs. Zhang will appropriately increase light and ventilation in spring and autumn, and reduce direct light in summer when the temperature is high. Peach eggs need the right amount of water during the growing season, but it is important to avoid stagnant water that can cause root rot. In terms of soil, Mrs. Zhang chose sandy soil with good air permeability to ensure smooth drainage. Every once in a while, she also applies some succulent special fertilizer to the peach eggs to make sure they are nutritious.
2. Kumadoko
Another highlight of Mrs. Zhang's yard is the bear boy, a succulent plant whose leaves are shaped like bear paws, hence the name. There is a small circle of fluff on the edge of the leaf of the bear boy, which is soft to the touch and very cute. The maintenance of the bear child is not complicated, as long as it is maintained with the right amount of light and moisture, it can be allowed to thrive. Mrs. Zhang likes to put the bear boy on the windowsill or in a sunny place to keep it well ventilated so that the bear boy can grow healthier.
When it comes to watering, Mrs. Zhang is very knowledgeable. She usually waters the bear boy only after the soil is completely dry to avoid overwatering and causing root rot. Each time she waters, she does it slowly to allow the water to penetrate the soil well but not to get stuck at the bottom of the pot. Bears need an appropriate amount of fertilizer during the growing season, and Mrs. Zhang will apply succulent fertilizer every other month to ensure that the nutrients are sufficient.
3. Guanyin lotus
Guanyin lotus is a very popular succulent plant, with its compact leaves arranged in the shape of a lotus flower, which looks very elegant. Mrs. Zhang's yard is planted with Guanyin lotus, full of greenery.
Guanyin lotus is adaptable, and maintenance is also very simple, as long as it is given enough sunlight and the right amount of water, it can grow very well. Mrs. Zhang often placed Guanyin lotus in a sunny place to allow them to fully photosynthesize, and the leaves would be more compact and beautiful.
4. Baby fingers
Finally, there is a very unique succulent plant in Mrs. Zhang's yard – baby fingers. Baby fingers are so cute because of their long, fleshy stems and rounded leaves, which resemble a baby's little fingers. Baby's fingers have high light requirements, and Mrs. Zhang will put them in a sunny place to ensure that there is enough light every day. In addition, the baby's fingers are drought tolerant and easy to maintain.
When it comes to watering, Mrs. Zhang also follows the principle of "seeing dry and wet". She will water the soil on the baby's fingers after it has dried to avoid root rot due to frequent watering. Babies need proper fertilizer during the growth period, and Mrs. Zhang will apply succulent fertilizer every other month to ensure that the nutrients needed for their growth are sufficient.
Mrs. Zhang does have a set of succulents in raising them, and the four kinds of succulents grown in her yard look beautiful and moving, and the whole yard is like a charming little garden, which is intoxicating.
