Today, Hua'er will introduce 5 kinds of potted plants to everyone. Even if you forget to water, fertilize, and care for them, they can still live just fine. Hurry up and give them a try too!

1. Epiphyllum hybrid 'Ackermannii' (orchid cactus)

Epiphyllum hybrid 'Ackermannii' is a perennial evergreen epiphytic plant. Its stems are flat and lanceolate, shaped like an arrow token, and its flowers bloom like water lilies, hence the name orchid cactus.

Epiphyllum hybrid 'Ackermannii' likes a warm, humid, sunny, and well-ventilated environment. It can be placed directly on a south balcony or an east windowsill. It is very tolerant of dryness and can grow normally even without watering for ten days to half a month. It fears strong light, so give it appropriate shade in summer.

2. Gymnocalycium baldianum (chin cactus)

Gymnocalycium baldianum belongs to the cactus family. In a sunny environment, it can bloom continuously, and its flowering period is especially long. This is also one reason flower lovers like it.

Gymnocalycium baldianum is especially easy to care for. It likes a warm, dry, and sunny environment and is a "summer-growing type" of succulent. For watering, just remember the principle: "do not water if not dry; when watering, water thoroughly." Note that when watering, do not pour water on the ball, as this will cause the body to collapse and rot.

3. Portulacaria afra (elephant bush)

Portulacaria afra has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, with thick leaves and succulent stems. It grows very quickly and is a flower that is grown both for foliage and flowers.

Portulacaria afra likes light. Because its leaves contain a large amount of water, it has strong drought tolerance, so you can water it after the soil dries. It can be kept in a bright environment at home. In summer, avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves will soften and be scorched. Apply diluted decomposed organic fertilizer once every half month to help it grow better.

4. Kalanchoe daigremontiana (mother of thousands)

Kalanchoe daigremontiana is called the phoenix of immortality. Its vitality is terrifyingly strong, and its reproductive ability is also super strong. It is mainly grown for its foliage.

Kalanchoe daigremontiana likes light and tolerates shade, but it should not be kept in a shady environment for too long, as this will cause leggy growth. It is drought tolerant, so you can water it when the potting soil shows signs of drying and cracking. In summer, it can be exposed to the sun appropriately.

5. Adenium obesum (desert rose)

Adenium obesum is also called Tianbao flower. It belongs to the succulent plants, usually with thick branches, few leaves, and especially many flowers. Its flowering period is from May to December, and it has high ornamental value.

Adenium obesum likes a high-temperature, arid, and sunny environment. It can be watered once a week. It likes calcium-rich sandy soil. About every three months, you can bury some bone meal into the potting soil to help it grow and bloom.

In summer, it can be placed directly outdoors without shading, watered thoroughly, and the soil kept moist. Spray some water on the leaves and around them in the morning and evening, which can promote its growth and flowering.
