Drought-tolerant plants roundup: these few don't need frequent watering, and are there any even more drought-tolerant ones?

Green plants, bonsai and flowers all need watering. What should you do if you don't have time to water them often? Then grow the following few kinds. Even lazy people can grow them well, while being too diligent might actually waterlog them to death.

1. Nandina domestica (heavenly bamboo). Nandina domestica is one of the favorite courtyard green plants of the farmers in Haoshe Nongfu's hometown. Its leaves stay evergreen all year round, and its berries are bright red. Chinese people all like red, right? It also has the trait of being drought-tolerant. Planted in an open-air courtyard environment, it does not need watering 365 days a year, and its drought tolerance is 5 stars.

2. Cypress. This is a very high-end bonsai tree. Growing cypress is also very simple. As long as it can get air and sunlight, it can survive. With little fertilizer it will not be thin, and with much fertilizer it will not rot, and its adaptability is especially strong. Its drought resistance is also first-rate. It basically does not need watering, and its drought tolerance is 5 stars.

3. Tiger thorn as a bonsai has become popular in recent years. Its leaves are also evergreen all year round. Its fruiting period is from November each year to the Spring Festival (mid-February), and the fruit stays on the plant for a long time. The fruit is a festive bright red, and its drought tolerance is 5 stars.

4. Desert oasis cactus. Its drought resistance needs no detailed explanation. A plant from the desert, once in an ordinary place, can only be afraid of being waterlogged to death, and its drought resistance is 5 stars.

5. Orchids. As the saying goes: dry orchids, wet chrysanthemums, meaning orchids like dry, airy soil, because orchids have fleshy aerial roots, and too much water will cause root rot.

Haoshe Nongfu grows orchids outdoors and only watered once at the Start of Autumn in 2016, because there had been no rain for more than 40 consecutive days in midsummer. Drought resistance is 4 stars.
