7 flowers that grow like crazy and easily fill their pots, 100 flower pots wouldn't be enough

Kalanchoe daigremontiana (mother of thousands)

Kalanchoe daigremontiana is also called "falling to the ground and taking root." A few years ago, Huahua grew one as a succulent, and the result was completely out of control. Somehow it fell to the ground, and it actually grew into a huge patch!

Besides the common broad-leaf Kalanchoe daigremontiana, Huahua has also seen many flower lovers growing the stick-leaf Kalanchoe daigremontiana shown below. It is quite pretty, but one look at those densely packed little buds and Huahua gets scared!

Propagation and care:

Kalanchoe daigremontiana reproduces by growing little buds along the edges of its leaves. The little buds grow aerial roots on their own, and after falling off they take root and survive. In the gaps between the floor tiles in the picture below, it's all baby Kalanchoe daigremontiana!

There's nothing particularly special about growing Kalanchoe daigremontiana. Just don't let it bake in the hot sun in summer. The more you ignore it, the crazier it grows. For flower lovers troubled by this, Huahua advises you not to throw it around carelessly, otherwise it will spread over a huge area, comparable to an invasive species!

Spider plant

Spider plants also count as flowers with explosive growth. Look at the curly spider plant at flower lover @Hua Kuang Sheng's home: 1 plant grew into a whole patch, and a corner of the house is piled full!

Propagation and care:

Spider plants are easy to keep alive, but hard to get to produce lots of pups. This flower lover's secret is homemade fertilizer. Look at all the bottles and jars at his home, all homemade fruit-peel fertilizer and rice-washing-water fertilizer. After they are fully fermented, mix with water and water the plants twice a month, and normally spray the spider plant leaves with water often.

When the spider plant produces pups and grows aerial roots, first cut them off and plant them in a box of sandy soil, spray water to keep them moist and help them set roots. After half a month, once the seedlings are stable, transplant them into flower pots.

Aloe

The pot-bound aloe that flower lover @Cao Ma Kuang Mo 1 picked up in the residential compound was clearly "rejected" by its owner because it had filled its pot so terrifyingly. Thrown out with no one to care for it, it had turned red and was close to dying.

After pulling off the broken pot, the inside turned out to be all roots, with very little soil, which shows that aloe has a very strong "will to survive"! By eye, Huahua judges that it may be Chinese aloe. Remove the dead leaves, keep the green parts, let them dry, and it can still survive!

Propagation and care:

The soil for planting aloe cannot be too hard; sandy soil is best, as it helps the shoots push through. Every year, spring, summer and autumn are the aloe's growing season. At this time, control watering and wait until the soil is completely dry before watering thoroughly, to stimulate shoot growth.

Aloe is recognized as a lazy person's plant. Normally give it plenty of sun, and never water too frequently, otherwise it will grow leggy and get thinner and thinner. You can water it with a bit of fully fermented rice-washing water and soybean water to keep it plump!

Offset cactus (Mammillaria)

The offset cactus is a cactus that grows by producing offsets. Unlike traditional single cacti that grow slowly, the offset cactus keeps sprouting small balls nonstop. People with trypophobia should keep them with caution!

Propagation and care:

For the offset cactus, you can cut off the small offsets, apply a little carbendazim to the cut surface, then let them dry in a cool place and plant them directly in soil. Give little water and keep them ventilated, and they will survive~

The offset cactus is a cactus, so when watering, do not splash water on the body, as it easily rots. Use a long-spout watering can to water into the pot. Normally give it plenty of sun to avoid leggy growth~

Heartleaf ice plant (Aptenia cordifolia)

Heartleaf ice plant survives from just a cut stem, and when it fills its pot it is absolutely unstoppable. You can't even see the flower pot anymore, and it can even be grown into a waterfall!

Propagation and care:

Cut a few stems of heartleaf ice plant, with or without flowers, insert them into moist, airy soil, and keep them in a cool place. If they still look lively after 3 days, that means there's hope. Spray water occasionally to keep them moist, and they will root in less than ten days.

Normally, don't water too frequently; spraying the leaves with water is better. With plenty of sunlight the leaves are greener. Pruning 2 months before the flowering period and pruning after the flowering period are both essential~

Garden balsam

In front of and behind the houses in my hometown, there are always dense patches of garden balsam. Its reproductive ability is astonishing. As soon as the seed pods burst open after flowering, the seeds immediately fall into the soil, and the next year there is an even bigger patch!

Propagation and care:

Once the garden balsam flowers fade, you can collect its seed pods, put them in a plastic bag and store them in a dry place at home. The next year in April-May, scatter the seeds into the soil, water a little, and they will sprout.

Garden balsam likes shady places. In summer, avoid exposing it to blazing sun, and just keep the potting soil slightly moist. When growing it at home, it's best to use leaf mold soil; with good nutrition you can grow plump garden balsam~

Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)

Pennywort has astonishing pot-filling power. Many flower lovers report that their flower pots at home are too small, so they can only grow it in large vats and large foam boxes. Even so, they still have to throw away over ten jin of it. It really grows far too much!

Propagation and care:

Pennywort is very easy to keep alive. Take one stem and grow it in water for a month and it becomes a clump. But there isn't much nutrition in the water. Huahua suggests growing it together with fish; the fish's bath water is its best fertilizer!

Pennywort easily grows in a sprawling, clawing way. You can regularly give it a flat buzz cut. This way it fills its pot faster, and its growth is more uniform, making it look more beautiful!
