Which succulent varieties are the easiest to keep alive?
Succulents are now all the rage across the country, and many people cannot resist the temptation to keep a pot at home, but because work leaves them no time for care, they worry they will not be able to keep these plants alive, so they keep hesitating. In fact, some succulents are not as hard to grow as people imagine; not only is the difficulty low, they also do not need a great deal of effort to care for. Below, Qinnong Web introduces several succulents that are relatively easy to keep alive.
1. Graptopetalum paraguayense (Ghost Plant)
The appearance of Graptopetalum paraguayense is not the kind that is easy to tell apart, and its looks are not outstanding among plants of the same type, but the good thing is that this succulent variety is very hardy, with astonishingly tenacious vitality. Even someone who has never grown a plant before can easily get this succulent to fill its pot, and it will not die even if left unattended for a few days.
2. Sedum rubrotinctum (Jelly Beans)
Compared with Graptopetalum paraguayense, Sedum rubrotinctum has brighter colors, and its survival rate is likewise very high among succulent varieties. It can be kept alive no matter what season you start growing it, and Sedum rubrotinctum is not demanding about its environment. More importantly, the color of Sedum rubrotinctum changes with the seasons, making it a very unusual succulent.
3. Pachyveria 'Clavifolia' (Winter Beauty)
Hearing the name Winter Beauty, you can naturally think of its cold-resistance skill. Even in the cold winter, with no one looking after it, Winter Beauty can still grow very well, and with a little care it is very easy to make it fill its pot.
4. Sedum dasyphyllum (Corsican Stonecrop)
The leaves of Sedum dasyphyllum are not as large as those of the varieties above; it is a small and delicate flowering plant. But do not underestimate this little succulent: its reproductive capacity is astonishing, and in less than a year you can see it fill its pot completely. Sedum dasyphyllum is also very easy to propagate, and ordinary leaf cuttings are enough to grow new plants.
5. Sempervivum tectorum (Hens and Chicks)
Sempervivum tectorum is emerald green in color, looking rather fresh and clean, and its shape resembles blooming lotus flowers one after another. Generally, this plant is sold in flower markets in both the south and the north, and it is cheap and easy to grow.
6. Echeveria chihuahuaensis (Chihuahua)
The Chihuahua mentioned here is not a breed of dog, but a succulent, yet like the Chihuahua dog it is also small. Usually there is a very beautiful pink color at the very tip of the leaves, while most of the leaf is mainly dark green, giving it a rather dignified look. Spring is its flowering season, and this flower is not only good-looking but even easier to grow.
The above are several relatively easy-to-keep succulents introduced by Qinnong Web. Although they are easy to keep alive, do not forget to water and fertilize them once in a while, and try to provide them with a good growing environment. Only then can the succulents bring us surprises with a better appearance.
