Succulents in the Name of Love Are the Best Gift for Qixi

Qixi is almost here, and fresh flowers are sure to be the first choice as a gift. We the moment we receive the flowers are all very happy, but before long the blooms wither, and we cannot bear to throw them away yet do not want to keep them either. I believe many people have this dilemma !

But, if someone gives you some new choices for gifting flowers ，that stay cute and never wither in the days after , perhaps this tangled feeling will never come again! Maybe they can even help you express your feelings better ！

Succulents in the Name of Love

String of Hearts

Love spreads like this vine, unbroken and unending

Also known as Heart Vine, Rosary Vine and Wax Flower, it is regarded as a symbol of love because of its strings of heart-shaped leaves. No need for excessive attention or coddling; hang it in a bright spot indoors, let it trail down naturally, and admire its strings of hearts as you recall, savour, enjoy and long for the beautiful state of mind that is love.

Echeveria 'First Love'

This is your first love

It is a thin-leaved Echeveria that can be pink, blue-green or pale yellow depending on the sunlight, at once youthful and subtly sweet. Summer is its favourite season, and its plump little face always blushes pink on every sunlit day. Surely this is the colour of first love .

Mountain Rose

The rose that never fades is my heart

Its overall form, like a rosebud, goes dormant in summer, and this season is exactly when it reaches its peak beauty. Roses represent love and beauty; the Mountain Rose is not as eye-catching as other roses. It is simple, understated and never fades, enough for us to express our feelings 。

Hoya kerrii

I give you my heart

It has a more common name, "Valentine Hoya", and precisely because its leaves are shaped like hearts, it is a fine choice for couples to give each other as gifts. If you want a colourful and long-lasting flowering period, it is best to place the hoya in the brightest spot indoors, but avoid direct sunlight so the leaves do not get scorched.

String of Pearls

With String of Pearls there is enough; it will not make you shed tears

It is made up of strings of plump, full and fresh green oval leaves , and the leaves and stems form many trailing tendrils, elegant and beautiful; dancing in midair, they are pure and nimble, hence names such as "Buddha's Beads" and "String of Pearls". This succulent is like a plain, pure young girl, hoping for a steady happiness 。

Echeveria 'Rose Lotus'

You have thorns, and I love you all the same

It is a hybrid of Echeveria derenbergii and Echeveria shaviana, with obvious fuzz along the leaf edges, which for now we can call little thorns. The plant form is beautiful and easily grows into a ball shape; under good natural conditions it can develop a jelly colour, and as temperatures drop and the day-night temperature difference widens, the red blush deepens and becomes more vivid.

Echeveria 'Trier Gem'

You are the brightest gem in my heart

It is an Echeveria like a gem, also called "Xiaoyu". Its leaves grow in a ring with no leaf stalks, joined at the base to form a lotus-shaped rosette, like a miniature gem flower, dainty and lovely. Xiaoyu usually blooms in late winter and early spring, with clusters of star-shaped yellow flowers; too much sunlight turns the whole plant red.

Pamir Rose

Holding your hand, growing old together

It is a succulent of the Crassulaceae genus Echeveria, also called White Lotus; like Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy', it grows many side shoots from below the mother plant. The early side shoots have long stems and small heads, with leaves tightly wrapped, just like little white claws clenched together ; the small heads gradually grow larger and form clusters, like many little white lotuses gathered together, pink and charming.
