We became obsessed with succulents because of how cute they are, jumped into the hobby without a second thought, thinking we too could grow them into beautiful condition, but the reality is a real slap in the face. Never mind the color, sometimes they do not even have any condition to speak of, just looking all wilted and droopy, and at the slightest thing they want to die on you.

So many succulent lovers say succulents are hard to grow, but not every kind of succulent is that difficult to pamper. Some succulents can grow into a whole big patch even with hardly any care. For example, the 4 succulents introduced below!

Those of you living in the countryside are in for a treat, because you may have already seen them countless times on rooftops and on the mountains, those succulents that cover a whole area at a glance, and the thrill of it is something else!

Orostachys 

Orostachys is a wild succulent plant that is relatively common in China and has a fairly wide distribution range

If your home is one of those old countryside tile-roofed houses, you can see Orostachys everywhere on the roof tiles. It has strong vitality and always grows in large patches, and when they bloom all at once, it is an extremely spectacular sight.

In those days when people could not even fill their stomachs, Orostachys counted as a fairly tasty food. People would put Orostachys straight into their mouths without even washing it, and it tasted sour.

Kalanchoe delagoensis

On the rooftops of old houses, Kalanchoe delagoensis often grows all over, and the rooftops are of course tile roofs, some tile-roofed houses where nobody lives.

In less than a year, the rooftops can be covered with Kalanchoe delagoensis seedlings, and after that they keep spreading endlessly, with tiny seedlings growing all over the tile roof.

These seedlings drop off as soon as the wind blows, so they can keep multiplying. It is an extremely drought-tolerant and poor-soil-tolerant plant, and it can grow as long as there is a crack to grow in.

Stringy Stonecrop

Stringy Stonecrop is also a succulent plant. It has strong adaptability and is tolerant of drought and cold, and it can often be found on countryside rooftops, beside wall corners or on hillsides, and it multiplies fairly quickly. As soon as it appears, it is a dense, packed patch!

Moreover, Stringy Stonecrop is a commonly used medicinal herb that is extremely widely circulated among the people. Its whole plant can be used as medicine. Stringy Stonecrop has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying and promoting urination, and it can also be used to treat liver cancer.

Graptopetalum paraguayense

It is a succulent plant of the Crassulaceae family, Graptopetalum genus, an evergreen trailing subshrub. When the sunshine duration is long and the temperature difference is large, it turns pinkish purple, and it blooms from April to May. It is native to Mexico  .

Graptopetalum paraguayense likes plenty of sunlight, dislikes waterlogging, and is tolerant of poor soil. It is best grown in well-drained sandy loam. Watering once every 7-10 days is enough, and it is especially easy to care for.

It is the top choice succulent plant for park cultivation and landscaping~ You can often see "other people's" Graptopetalum paraguayense covering whole rooftops. Although it is a common variety, it is no less spectacular and stunning

Graptopetalum paraguayense is mostly propagated by cuttings. During the growing season, stem cuttings can be taken along with pruning, and leaf cuttings can also be used. Place the leaves flat on moist plain sandy soil, and after two weeks you can see multiple adventitious buds and adventitious roots differentiating near the leaf veins at the base of the leaf. When doing leaf cuttings, do not make the cutting bed too wet, otherwise the leaves rot easily.

That is all for today's content. Do you know any other succulents with such vigorous vitality? Feel free to leave a comment and tell the editor!
