How do you grow clivia, cactus, and Pachyphytum 'Dong Meiren' so that flowers bloom all over the garden?
To grow beautiful flowers, we all get up early and stay up late to carefully tend them, working hard to take care of them. But at first, how come the more we grow, the fewer we have? These flowers were not killed by us; rather, these plants have extremely strong reproductive ability. In our eyes they are treasures, but in others' eyes they are weeds that have run rampant, and they get pulled out. It really makes one's heart ache.
We may find that the clivia we grow at home does not bloom for a long, long time, so absurdly long that not even leaves grow. Then we can try putting these plants outdoors to grow them, growing clivia directly in our own yard. It will definitely be better than growing them inside our home, and they will bloom however they please! In front of and behind the house, everywhere will be clivia bursting with blooms!
We painstakingly grow just a small pot at home, changing the pot and changing the soil, in winter afraid it will freeze to death, in summer afraid it will be scorched to death. That is not as good as putting clivia in the yard to grow, where we do not have to worry about so much. We can slightly work the soil in the yard and put in a little oil-bearing crop such as peanuts or sunflower seeds, and it will absolutely let our clivia grow well outdoors. In summer, we can use beer we cannot finish drinking mixed with water at the best ratio of 1:10, then use some cotton cloth to gently wipe the leaves of the clivia. This way the leaves of the clivia can become even more vividly green and even brighter.
Cactus: when we mention cactus, many flower lovers will frown. Why do the cacti we plant always rot at the roots and die? Then take a clean look at how cactus is grown; it can also grow more and more along the wall, taller and taller. It can be called a natural anti-theft window; nobody dares to climb this wall. In fact, as we all know, cactus is a kind of flowering plant that is relatively easy to grow. We do not have to grow it into an anti-theft net, so getting the cactus to bloom should not be much of a problem, right?
If we want the cactus at home to bloom and bear fruit, we should appropriately choose soil that is slightly alkaline in pH, place it outdoors in a place with fairly bright sunlight to grow it, water it as little as possible, and avoid root rot in the cactus. We can also occasionally add a little compound fertilizer, and in this way we can grow cactus very well.
Pachyphytum 'Dong Meiren': basically every time we hear about Pachyphytum 'Dong Meiren', people say their own plant died. Actually, among succulents, Pachyphytum 'Dong Meiren' can be considered one of the tougher ones. I have seen some people's rooftops covered with clusters of Pachyphytum 'Dong Meiren' blooming, super beautiful. If we grow it on a balcony, that is no problem either; letting it trail downward as a curtain is also very nice. Grow it above the main entrance, or on our courtyard wall, and when it has grown a lot and trails down, it will naturally be like a waterfall.
Pachyphytum 'Dong Meiren' is very easy to grow. Normally we only need to pay attention to giving it more sun; there is no need to water in such a hurry, water a little less. Generally, water only when the soil is found to be fairly dry, in order to avoid the phenomenon of root rot. Do these aspects well, and you can let Pachyphytum 'Dong Meiren' grow in large patches, and growing it into an old stem is not much of a problem either; as long as it can grow longer and longer and not die, that is fine.
As for me, I also hope everyone can, when planting flowers and plants in their own home, let them grow in large patches, a profusion of blooming flowers. I recommend everyone plant these succulents in front of and behind the house.
