What should I use as the opening feature? Let's use my biggest succulent as the opening feature. Actually, I wanted to submit an article a long time ago, but I am a newbie, I don't have any impressive succulents to show, and my writing talent is also limited, so it was only today that I finally mustered the courage to submit. I also don't know if it will be selected. Hehe~

Location, Huangpi, Wuhan, Hubei, the hometown of Hua Mulan. First let me talk about how I fell into the pit. More than a year ago, the neighbor upstairs gave me two leaf cuttings of Pachyphytum oviferum. At that time I only knew it was called gemstone flower, and I heard her say it was very easy to grow. So I casually planted them in a flowerpot. Soon it was winter, and there was a very heavy snow. I thought such small flowers would surely freeze to death, but not only did it not die, it survived very tenaciously. After it finally grew a little, someone accidentally broke off its head. I thought this time it was surely doomed. Who knew it would surprise me again, sprouting two heads, and slowly growing into one of my favorite succulents among all of mine.

I officially fell into the pit in early April last year, when I went to my aunt's house to play and saw she was growing lots of succulents on her windowsill. From then on I became hopelessly obsessed. After that, my daily life was buying succulents, buying pots, buying soil, buying medicine... After one year in the pit, I already have around two hundred pots of succulents. Although most of them are not expensive varieties, they are still the darlings of my heart.

Fellow succulent lovers, please don't mind my rambling~ Next, take a look at my succulents. I can only say I have kept them alive, and compared with those of the great masters, the gap is still very big!

These are some succulents planted in a red wine box. I think they look quite nice.

This is the reddest Firecracker I have grown, and the purplest what? I suddenly forgot the name (awkward~) After having a child, my memory is too poor ^O^ So I simply stopped forcing myself to remember names. There are really too many succulent names, this humble servant cannot remember so many~

I also think this pot looks quite nice. Does anyone like it?

This one is also not bad. In winter it was pecked a few times by birds, and it still has not recovered well, which breaks my heart~

The Tia in this pot has already sacrificed itself gloriously. When I went back to my husband's home for the New Year, I did not move it inside, and it froze to death. My heart is bleeding. When I bought it, it was a full pot of clustered Tia, but later the stems rotted, so I beheaded them to save these few, and they still froze to death.

This is the only crested succulent I have. I do not really like crested succulents, but Aeonium crested forms are quite nice-looking, though the price is also nice-looking.

This is when the Firecracker above was at its reddest. In real life it is even redder than this, I just cannot capture it in photos.

How strange, they are all Tia, so why did this Tia not freeze to death?

This is Ruby. It is not especially red, but I think it looks quite nice. Last year it got sunburned, but luckily it did not die from the sun. After summer passed, I took down the shade net, and who knew it would get sunburned by the autumn tiger, and it looked really ugly. Now it has recovered again, and if you look carefully you can still see the wounds from that time.

Still that Ruby

Xiaomixing, why can't I get it red? But I like it this way too.

Peach Beauty grown for one year. I really like Peach Beauty, I have quite a few, and this one is my favorite.

I forgot what this one is called, I only remember that such a small plant cost me 30 yuan. Did I buy it too expensively?

Still Xiaomixing, this is its reddest time. It cannot compare with those of the great masters.

This one is the disaster-prone Pachyphytum oviferum mentioned above. It is also the most beautiful and most sentimental one among all my Pachyphytum oviferum. I just wonder why the other few Pachyphytum oviferum are all glossy green.

I also think glossy green Firecracker looks quite nice, haha

Cute Rose, I remember this name. It is really too cute, big love

Another pot of Cute Rose

This should be Allen. If grown well, its appearance is also quite good.

I also quite like Aeoniums. Currently I only have these few. Conditions are limited, and if I buy too many there is really nowhere to put them.

Black Aeonium, last year it actually made it through summer successfully. This summer I will keep working hard.

It is slowly closing up

Yanrihui also looks quite nice. When it arrived, it had been battered by the courier until it did not look like a succulent, with wounds all over its leaves, yet it still tenaciously became beautiful. I bought several more.

This is Purple Moon purchased at a greenhouse. It has not turned purple yet.

A pot of String of Pearls that I shamelessly asked my aunt for. I hope it can grow long and trailing.

Markus. When I bought it, it was a very small plant, and now it is full of descendants.

Golden Jade, also a variety I really like. I really like its red edges.

This is my mom's liquor bottle. It is quite good for me to plant succulents in, haha! I will post these for now. If it can be selected, I will post more later. Today is my birthday. If I can be selected by Encyclopedia Jun, that would be the best birthday gift! Thank you all, fellow succulent lovers, for reading to the end. Mwah, good night~
