Echeveria 'Peach Pride'
What, there are schools of succulent growing too?
Come and see which school you belong to~
- The Zen Type -
Meaning: whatever goes, not too invested, taking everything lightly
Succulents, anything goes, staying alive is best, if it dies, buy another
The Haworthia pit, the cactus family pit, the Euphorbia pit
When they all die, switch pits - there is always a pit where a Zen succulent grower can sit comfortably
Putting up shade netting in summer is my last struggle, moving succulents in winter is my last tenderness
The golden Echeveria 'Peach Pride' is very Zen
-- The Confucian Type -
Meaning: proactive and enterprising, you must work hard enough to look effortless
Reads every experience post from every master, must check WeChat official accounts and Weibo every day
Gives succulents the best environment, always collects rainwater when it rains - the masters say rainwater makes succulents plump.
The first to shade in summer, in winter cold snaps they do not fear the cold themselves but fear the succulents being cold,
Moves succulents in and out when it rains, repots every year, keeps records of watering,
The most diligent succulent grower.
The white bear paw that even the Confucian type cannot handle
- The Daoist Type -
Meaning: even if they bash their head against the wall again and again, they still cling to their own free and easy way. No matter what it is, they do not fuss over the result - I am undergoing tribulation, I am cultivating immortality, I am busy. The biggest trait of the "Daoist type" - they always know what they are doing and what they should do.
Pachyphytum 'Light Beauty'
Has their own succulent-growing rules, soil mix, and insights, and follows their own way,
Quietly growing succulents for their own enjoyment,
I stuck to what I stick to, and whatever the result is, I am happy with it~
My succulents have their own beauty, and if they die,
Well, I will buy another one and try growing it, until I get it right.
Lithops
- The Legalist Type -
Meaning: everything must follow the rules, otherwise no discussion, no meeting
Strictly cares for plants according to sunlight, humidity and weather.
Watering is done in proportion, sunlight is precisely controlled, medicines and fertilizers are used strictly according to the instructions, and the soil mix must be strict! Which species uses which grit mixed together, in what ratio - Lithops cannot use peat, 12 cannot use hard grit, and in the south the grit proportion must be high. As strict as conducting an experiment, everything has its own rules and regulations, and not following the rules is simply not allowed
The etiolated Kalanchoe 'Damo Bunny Ears' is unbearable for the Legalist type
