The weather has been getting hotter and hotter lately, and many gardening friends have come to complain, "I've killed my flowers yet again" ... sigh~ I can't keep up with rescuing them one by one, it breaks my heart. So today I'll just introduce 10 kinds of flowers that will survive even if you forget to water them, and thrive even if you just leave them alone. Let's see who can still manage to kill these!

Epiphyllum (Orchid Cactus)


Epiphyllum blooms profusely, and its cactus-like habits make it incredibly easy to care for

Habits: Likes partial shade, fears strong light; drought-tolerant, water once every 10-15 days

Note: Provide shade in summer, keep warm above minus 2°C in winter

Snake Plant


There are many varieties of snake plant, highly decorative at home, and it can also absorb formaldehyde - truly a home essential

Habits: Likes diffused light, place in a bright indoor spot; water once a week

Note: Reduce watering during winter dormancy; avoid waterlogging when watering normally

Gymnocalycium baldianum (Ruby Ball Cactus)


Don't assume cacti don't bloom - Gymnocalycium baldianum is a blooming machine, flowering year-round, with each bloom period lasting up to a month

Habits: Likes light, suitable for outdoor or balcony growing; drought-tolerant, water only after the soil dries out

Note: Don't pour water on the body of the cactus when watering, to avoid it collapsing

Calathea (Prayer Plant)


Calathea can be divided into many varieties, each with different leaf patterns. It's the top choice for Scandinavian-style and minimalist-style greenery

Habits: Likes diffused light, shade-tolerant; likes moisture, water once every 2-3 days

Note: Avoid direct sunlight in summer; moderate water control helps form an old trunk (bonsai-style)

Kalanchoe daigremontiana (Mother of Thousands)


The "phoenix" among succulents - its vitality is so strong it becomes a "nuisance." Summer survival, overflowing pots - none of that is a problem. You'll only worry about how to find more pots for its babies
