Succulents that look like tempting bowls of rice, making your mouth water

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
A couple of days ago, a gardening friend sent Huahua a photo. Their succulents were packed so tightly together in one pot that they looked just like a bowl of rice! Today Huahua is rounding up those succulents that grow into "bowls of rice" - a late-night temptation to make everyone drool just like Huahua!

Haworthia cooperi


Just look at someone else's Haworthia cooperi. The first time Huahua saw it, Huahua was absolutely stunned! Undeniably magnificent!

Now let's look at it from the side. Doesn't it look just like a cake? If you accidentally pressed it down with one hand, that feeling would be absolutely intense!

Graptopetalum mendozae


If there's one succulent that most easily grows into a bowl of rice, it has to be Graptopetalum mendozae! Look at these little grains packed tightly together, just like purple rice!

Graptopetalum mendozae easily fills out its pot. Especially in summer, the more sun it gets, the more vivid its color and the more vigorous its growth. So if you grow Graptopetalum mendozae, feel free to put it on a south-facing balcony!

Orostachys boehmeri blooming into a ball


Once summer arrives, many gardening friends find their Orostachys boehmeri has grown leggy and unrecognizable, and some even die after failing to make it through the summer! Just look at this expert's Orostachys boehmeri - little rosettes one after another, densely packed, like a little rubber ball!

If summer temperatures reach above 30°C and the leaves of Orostachys boehmeri all curl up, that means it's going dormant! At this point, move it indoors to a bright spot, absolutely do not expose it to direct sun, and increase ventilation, and it will make it through summer safely!

99 egg roses + mountain roses


People love giving roses on holidays, but store-bought roses wilt within a few days. Why not give her egg roses instead? Planted in a pot, they'll keep growing!

Isn't that creative enough? Hurry and look at the little bear below. This is a rose bear photographed by a gardening friend. Doesn't it look incredibly romantic? Huahua thinks that if you proposed with this, the success rate would definitely keep rising!

Elegant


Every time Huahua sees a fuzzy succulent, Huahua can't resist wanting to buy it. This pink, tender, and fuzzy look just hits Huahua's heart every single time!

For this kind of fuzzy succulent, everyone must be very careful when watering - don't get water on the leaf surface. Summer is so hot, otherwise it can easily rot at the drop of a hat!

Sedum dasyphyllum 'Major'


Just hearing the name "beauty," you know Sedum dasyphyllum 'Major' must have high looks. Dense little leaves piled together, pot after pot, even more than a bowl of rice!

To make Sedum dasyphyllum 'Major' color up quickly, you need to keep it in a spot with plenty of light. But at noon in summer, the sun is too harsh, so you still need to provide shade. As for watering, just water when you see the soil in the pot is dry!

Graptosedum 'Francesco Baldi'


Has anyone ever seen succulents grown in a basket? Look at this gardening friend's Graptosedum 'Francesco Baldi' - grown directly in a basket! When you want to give it as a gift, it's so convenient - just pick up the basket and go!

Just make sure it gets 6 hours of sunlight every day, but in summer it's best to shade it. Graptosedum 'Francesco Baldi' easily develops old stems and fills out its pot quickly. Water it about once every 3-5 days!

Sedum 'Little Missy'


Speaking of growing into a bowl of rice, how could we not mention Sedum 'Little Missy'? Although it's smaller in size than the money string, once it fills out its pot, it really can't be stopped - it turns into a bowl of rice in no time!

Sedum 'Little Missy' likes cool weather. When summer temperatures rise, it goes dormant. At this point, put it in a cool, ventilated place, and only water a tiny bit when you find the soil completely dry, so it can make it through summer safely and become more and more beautiful in autumn!

Sedum 'Little Ball Rose'


Besides Sedum 'Little Missy', what Huahua quite likes is Sedum 'Little Ball Rose'! After filling out its pot, it's a full, big pot - holding it in your hands is just a super happy thing!

Although only more sun can make Sedum 'Little Ball Rose' turn red, in summer when temperatures are high, it still goes dormant. So in summer, put it in a cool, ventilated place and let it get through summer safely! Be careful not to water too much, otherwise it can easily rot!

Lithops


For gardening friends who like Lithops, they find Lithops very cute. Those who don't like them think they're as ugly as stones. After all, everyone has different tastes!

Lithops squeezed into one pot really do look like a bowl of rice from a distance. Lithops need to be watched carefully in summer - try not to water them, and put them in a cool, ventilated place, otherwise they can easily die from the high temperatures!

That's all from Huahua today!

After seeing these succulent "bowls of rice,"

do any of you gardening friends feel hungry?

Anyway, Huahua is off to grab a late-night snack!
