Succulents that accidentally fall to the ground can still grow into a full pot, and they are very easy to care for in summer

The first are Crassulaceae succulents. This group of succulents includes many varieties, and the common ones are Sedum spurium (small rose), Rhodiola rosea, Hylotelephium spectabile (showy stonecrop), and Sedum aizoon, etc. They are all succulents that easily grow into a large patch, and their reproductive capacity is very strong. Sedum spurium and Sedum lineare grow together and are very suitable as plants to replace a lawn. They grow creeping, and when there is plenty of sunlight their color is especially brilliant. Hylotelephium spectabile has very good ornamental value when it blooms, and it is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, and heat-resistant, with strong adaptability to the environment. It is very suitable as a landscaping plant, and it also has medicinal effects. They are all very easy-care succulents. Lazy people can leave them on the balcony for one or two months without care, and they will not die of drought. Only one leaf is needed to propagate a succulent, and potted care is also quite good.

Temperature: Crassulaceae are relatively cold-resistant. Generally, varieties will not suffer relatively major damage above zero degrees, and plants are more comfortable at 5-30 degrees; the greater the temperature difference, the better. Water: do not water on a fixed schedule or in fixed amounts. If the soil layer is six or seven cm, then once the top two cm are thoroughly dry you can water, which means the lower soil has four or five tenths of moisture. Too dry harms the roots, too wet causes root rot. If you are not sure, insert a toothpick into it normally to keep track of the soil's dryness and moisture at any time. In winter, watering can be done at noon on clear days; in spring and autumn, water in the evening or early morning (evening is more recommended), so that by the time the sun comes out the soil is already relatively dry, avoiding too much moisture and steaminess. In summer, control water; water can be given in the evening on cool, clear days.

Sempervivum succulents are also very easy to care for. The common Sempervivum tectorum, Sempervivum 'Purple Beauty', Sempervivum arachnoideum, and Sempervivum 'Ruby Heart', etc., are all Sempervivum succulents. They are very ornamental, and each succulent looks like a colorful lotus. When several varieties are planted together, they look especially beautiful. They are also very easy-care plants. People leave them on tiled roofs without any care, and they can still grow and reproduce on their own. Sempervivum succulents are especially prone to growing side shoots, and their reproductive capacity is very strong. However, they also have one characteristic: after blooming, the mother plant will die.

Sempervivum plants are very cold-resistant (they can also overwinter outdoors in the Xinjiang region), and are sensitive to high temperatures. Spring, autumn, and winter are the growing season, while high summer temperatures stop growth and enter the dormant period. The colors in the growing season and dormant period are different, and planting and care are also different. During the growing season (September to May of the following year), water by alternating dry and wet, apply liquid fertilizer 1-2 times, add an appropriate amount of solid base fertilizer when repotting, and keep plenty of sunlight, which helps control the plant shape and fully bring out the color; during the dormant period (June to August), watering should be strictly controlled, and a well-ventilated environment should be maintained.

Because it grows relatively slowly, it does not need too many nutrients. During cultivation, there is also no need to apply too much fertilizer, and the growing medium should not be too fertile either. Propagation: from early summer each year, a group of side shoots begins to form around the mother plant. Once away from the mother plant, they can form their own roots, and in autumn they can be separated and planted individually. After 2 to 3 years of growth, the mother plant in the middle begins to bloom, growing a large flower stalk, and the flower stalk releases flowers section by section upward. The flower colors are pink, purple, yellow, and white. After blooming, the mother plant withers and dies, and at this time there are countless tiny seeds.

Sedum sarmentosum and Sedum lineare are both creeping-type succulents. Their care difficulty is relatively low, and they are suitable for rough cultivation. They like a warm and slightly moist environment. Maintaining ventilation and a bright, indirect light environment allows them to keep growing. With plenty of sunlight, they can also bloom, and the small yellow flowers look quite nice too. They are suitable for placing at the edges of flower pots or as landscaping plants, arranged in courtyard corners or beside paths, and are suitable for replacing a lawn.
