Introduction to the variety characteristics of the succulent plant 'Ruo Lu'

Ruo Lu is a succulent plant of the Crassulaceae family and the genus Crassula, also known as a succulent. It is native to Namibia in Africa, grows fast, has strong adaptability, and also tolerates partial shade, but it does not like water, so pay attention to watering less when planting. It is widely cultivated around the world. It is a very miniature succulent of the genus Crassula, with the characteristics of fast growth, strong adaptability, and easy propagation. When there is sufficient sunlight, the top leaves will turn slightly red; at other times they are green. It is very easy to propagate and can quickly grow from a small patch into a large clump. It is very suitable for planting in combinations, because its fast growth quickly covers bare areas! Planting it alone is slightly less impressive than in a combination, because the color tone is very monotonous; if you choose a good pot, it will look beautiful when matched together!

Ruo Lu has very small leaves, and most of the time they appear green; only when there is sufficient sunlight do the top leaves turn red. It is quite similar to Crassula, but the leaves are not as tightly packed. Ruo Lu is a variety of Crassula. Compared with Crassula, Ruo Lu has branches that, in addition to growing vertically upward, also grow horizontally and creeping, with the leaves arranged in a scattered way, sometimes in 4 ranks and sometimes not in 4 ranks.

According to foreign literature, it will not hang down like a spider plant. It is a succulent plant, 15-30 cm tall. The leaf color is green or blue-green. The flowering period is from late summer to early winter, with yellow or white flowers. The pH of the growing medium is 5.1-6.0 (strongly acidic to acidic).

Ruo Lu

Each year from September to June of the following year is the growing period of Ruo Lu (the growing period also varies with the grower's environment). Insufficient light will cause the plant to become leggy, increasing the vertical distance between leaves, making the plant shape loose and the leaf stems tender, while plants grown in a place with sufficient sunlight have a short and sturdy shape, with the stem nodes arranged relatively compactly.

Ornamental value:

The leaf shape and leaf color of Ruo Lu are relatively beautiful. The leaves are green most of the time, and turn red when the temperature difference increases and sunlight is sufficient; in some areas the whole plant may even turn red, so it has a certain ornamental value.
