These 6 potted plants are so easy to grow, it is hard to kill them even if you try
For friends who love potted plants, the worst fear is that carefully tended greenery withers and dies from disease. Today I want to introduce 6 potted plants with especially strong vitality, with green leaves and fragrant flowers, that you can basically ignore and still not kill. I have grown them for 10 years, and whether in scorching summer heat or freezing harsh winter, they still stand tall and upright.
1. Oxalis
Oxalis is absolutely a model of low input and high return. With big enough bulbs, enough water and fertilizer, and full sun, it easily bursts into bloom. You do not need to put in any real effort at all. Because oxalis is low-growing, grows fast, and blooms for a long time, it is truly spectacular when in flower.
2. Kalanchoe
I have grown this kalanchoe for 10 years, and it still looks like a 3-year-old child. I water it just once a week and put it in a bright, airy spot on the balcony, and it blooms beautifully. It is no problem for it to live another 20 years.
3. Aloe
The aloe that neighbor Sister Zhang grows has now been around for 26 years, and it has never been watered even once. Sister Zhang has now become Grandma Zhang, yet the aloe in the yard is still young and strong. If you grow it at home, watering about once every 2 months is enough.
4. Spider plant
Quite a few plant lovers say spider plants are hard to grow, but that is because you are too diligent. Watering once every two weeks is enough. Even if it dries out, the worst that happens is a few yellow leaves, and as soon as water arrives it turns green again. If you water too much, the roots easily rot.
5. Moss rose
Moss rose, as the name suggests, loves the sun. As long as there is sunlight it is fine, and watering once every 2 months is acceptable. Even if it wilts, it is not too late to water then. Do not ask me why the moss rose I grow blooms so large; that is because of my camera angle.
6. Desert rose
Desert rose is famously easy to keep alive. Look at its root and stem, which are like a big water barrel. One watering is enough for it to drink for half a year, and it feels like it stores even more water than a camel's hump. If these 6 beautiful and easy-to-grow potted plants can still be killed, then let me squat in the toilet and laugh for 2 days first before we talk.
