Four kinds of green plants that don't need watering for ten days to half a month, sprouting like crazy until the pot can't even hold them

Sometimes when you grow flowers, you can't even enjoy a trip away, always worrying about the plants at home and what to do if no one waters them. But these few kinds of green plants grow perfectly well without water for ten days to half a month, easily growing until they burst out of the pot:

Aloe

For planting aloe, a pot about 15 cm in diameter is enough, and any ordinary flower pot will do. The best soil for aloe is leaf mold : garden soil : sand at 4:4:2, which is nutritious and not prone to compacting.

Aloe is extremely drought-tolerant. Watering it too much is actually bad for its root growth and easily causes the leaves and roots to rot.

If you want aloe to grow until it bursts out of the pot, you only need to change the potting soil once a year. If there are too many small seedlings in one pot, you can divide the offsets and grow many pots from them.

Apart from shading it in summer, give it plenty of sun in the other seasons, and occasionally give it some fermented soybean fertilizer water, cake fertilizer water and so on, and watch it fill the pot.

Cactus (ball cactus)

A true lazy person's plant. It's fine without water for a month in autumn and winter. Its round body can store abundant moisture.

It is not picky about soil at all. Ordinary garden soil or sandy soil can be used to grow ball cacti. But it's best to add some coarse sand, or vermiculite, crushed coal cinders and other large particles to make drainage and aeration easier.

Ball cacti can be grown indoors, but they need frequent light. Without light for a long time, the color won't be dark green enough, and they will grow thin and elongated instead of plump and round.

Most ball cacti have a very strong ability to produce offsets. No matter how you usually care for them, they grow lots of little pups.

Snake plant (Sansevieria)

It is also a very drought-tolerant plant. Grown indoors, it can also purify indoor air and absorb formaldehyde. It can grow to over one meter tall.

The soil for growing snake plants should also have some large particles added. It fears damp, waterlogged environments the most.

Snake plants are very easy to propagate. Break off a leaf, cut it into several sections, and stick them into the potting soil, and they will root and sprout small leaves, growing into a new snake plant.

Give snake plants several applications of dilute fertilizer water each spring and autumn, and they grow especially fast.

Desert rose

Its root tubers are very plump, so it stores a lot of water and doesn't need much watering. It's fine without water for ten days to half a month. It blooms especially brightly and beautifully in spring. It fears waterlogging and dampness the most.

For the soil used to grow desert rose, orchid stone or crushed red brick, rock soil plus ordinary soil are suitable. Add a small amount of chicken manure.

It likes a warm, well-ventilated environment. As long as the temperature does not exceed 25°C, leaving it outdoors without shading still lets it grow very vigorously.

A newly transplanted or planted desert rose should not be watered right away. Put it in a semi-shaded place to rest for a while, and once the plant has recovered, water it thoroughly once. The flowers in spring are stunning beyond words.
