There are many varieties of Crassulaceae succulents, which one is the most popular?
The hot summer has arrived again, and I feel rather irritable, spending every day in torment, unable to leave the air-conditioned room. I believe this is a portrait of many people's hearts, but some people are different, they completely ignore the hot summer, their hearts filled to the brim with succulents, because they are considering what kind of succulents are suitable for growing in summer, and which are the most popular in summer? In the hot summer, they are already prepared to show their skills and grow some popular plants! So, which Crassulaceae succulents are actually the most popular?
The number one most popular plant is the purple rice grain (Sedum rubrotinctum). Because its leaves are very small and round, very similar to grains of rice, people also affectionately call it rice-grain flower. Seeing this plant in summer is very refreshing to the spirit. Why is that? First of all, because its size is small and compact, it looks very cute.
Secondly, its color is very beautiful. Generally, the upper half of the leaf is red and the lower half is green. These two colors interwoven together are very beautiful. Summer happens to be the flowering season of the purple rice grain. Its flowers are pink, and the flowering period is very long, from the start of summer it can bloom until autumn. In such a hot season as summer, seeing the purple rice grain with buds ready to open, seeing its flowers in full bloom, doesn't it give people a refreshing feeling?
The number two most popular plant is the Aeonium decorum. This plant's growing environment is rather harsh, because it grows in a dry and hot environment, so in the hot environment of summer, it is very suitable for growth, because it likes this light and temperature, and cannot tolerate the cold of winter. This growing character of its determines its ranking as number two among the popular plants, suitable for growing in summer, a plant that can survive entirely without relying on looks.
The number three most popular plant is the thousand Buddha hands (Sedum morganianum). Why place it in third? There is a reason, because the thousand Buddha hands is a very noble plant, its appearance looks very delicate, as if it were deliberately carved out, rather than having grown on its own. Although we all know that its best growing season is spring, the heat of summer cannot conceal its noble temperament, so it rightly ranks third.
The number four most popular plant is the jade butterfly (Echeveria). When you hear this name, you might pause for a moment, not understanding what this thing actually is. If I say the alias, everyone will surely catch on, that is stone lotus. The stone lotus has a rather short stem; we generally say it has no stem, with leaves growing directly from the root part, growing layer stacked upon layer, and arranged very neatly. Seen from a distance it looks like a jade dish, not only is the shape similar, the leaves are also very similar. If this plant is grown in summer, it can make people feel very happy in body and mind. Most importantly, it is very easy to grow; when we grow it we do not need to spend any effort at all.
