When it comes to growing succulents, quite a few flower lovers shake their heads again and again. They have grown them several times, and each time the plant died for no apparent reason, so they do not want to grow them anymore! Actually, Huahua thinks that growing succulents is not that scary at all, it is just that you have not found the varieties that suit you! Today, Huahua will introduce a few succulents that fill their pots especially easily, so you can become a master effortlessly!
Sedum dasyphyllum (Hime Shinbijin)
Tending Flowers Complete Guide
Care points:
1. Summer weather is hot, so be sure to shade it, but do not keep it completely out of the sun, otherwise the stems will easily fall over.
2. It roots very easily from cuttings. Cut 5-7cm and insert it directly into loose, breathable soil, and it will root in about 15-20 days.
Sempervivum arachnoideum (Zichlianhua)
Tending Flowers Complete Guide
Care points:
1. It loves light, and only with enough sun will it grow vigorously, but in summer be sure to remember to shade it. Normally it does not need fertiliser and still fills its pot easily.
2. If you want it to fill its pot as quickly as possible, you can usually propagate it by beheading.
Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' (Golden Million-year Grass)
Tending Flowers Complete Guide
Care points:
1. Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' loves the sun, and the better the light, the more obvious its colour, so be sure to put it in a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill, or another spot with good light, and water only when you find the potting soil has completely dried out.
2. During the growing period, leaves will drop. At this time, trim it a little with scissors, then insert the cut stems directly as cuttings, and it will soon fill its pot!
Sedum rubrotinctum (Rainbow Jade)
Tending Flowers Complete Guide
Care points:
1. Sedum rubrotinctum must be given enough light, otherwise it is especially prone to growing leggy, so quite a few flower lovers call it the "king of legginess". Usually put it on a well-ventilated south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill, and if conditions allow, placing it outdoors is best.
2. Sedum rubrotinctum is especially easy to grow. If a leaf falls into the flower pot, it can root by itself, so whether you propagate by stem cuttings or leaf cuttings, it easily fills its pot!
Crassula perforata (String of Buttons, Qianchuan)
Tending Flowers Complete Guide
Care points:
1. Although Crassula perforata loves the sun, when summer temperatures are too high it still goes dormant. At this time be sure to control water, otherwise the roots will rot in no time!
2. Crassula perforata needs constant pruning. Cut off the messy branches to keep the plant shape looking good; the cut branches can be used directly as cuttings, and they will root in about 10 days and quickly fill the pot!
Crassula 'Tom Thumb' (Xiaomixing)
Tending Flowers Complete Guide
Care points:
1. Crassula 'Tom Thumb' loves the sun, but when summer is too hot it goes dormant, so be sure to put it in a cool, ventilated place and reduce watering, so it can get through summer safely.
2. Crassula 'Tom Thumb' is usually propagated by beheading. Choose a healthy section of stem, cut it off, let the wound dry, then insert it into soil, and it will soon root and fill its pot!
Graptopetalum paraguayense (Ghost Plant, Ji Longyue)
Tending Flowers Complete Guide
Care points:
1. The more light it gets, the better its colour looks, so putting it on a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill is best. But in summer weather with high temperatures of 35°C, it must be shaded to prevent the leaves from being scorched.
2. Graptopetalum paraguayense is drought-tolerant. Each time, wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering, and do not let water accumulate in the pot; apply organic fertiliser or compound fertiliser about once every 20 days, which will let it fill its pot even faster!
Sempervivum tectorum (Hens and Chicks, Guanyin Lotus)
Tending Flowers Complete Guide
Care points:
1. Sempervivum tectorum grows in spring and autumn and goes dormant in summer. At this time you can put it in a well-ventilated indoor corridor, or on the inner side of a balcony without direct light.
2. Sempervivum tectorum often produces many offsets. Cut these offsets off, let the wounds dry, then pot them directly, and they quickly become new young Sempervivum tectorum plants!
That is all Huahua is introducing today.
Flower lovers, hurry to the flower market and buy a pot,
and let the succulents at home quickly fill their pots!
