These 6 succulents are worthy of being called "meatballs," yet many people have raised them into "dried meat," which really stings the heart

These 6 succulents are worthy of being called "meatballs," yet what many people raise is "dried meat," how heartbreaking!

The hot summer has passed, succulent friends, are all your succulents doing well? What state are they in now? I guess some friends' succulents have already become "dried succulents," haha, today let me show you my succulents!

Because when I first started caring for them, their morphological characteristics were all different, so I numbered them one by one!

Meatball No. 1: Sedum pachyphyllum 'Otome heart'

The leaves are thick and fleshy, and the leaf color ranges from emerald green to pink. New leaves are lighter in color while old leaves are darker. On the oblong leaves, if you look carefully near the stem, you will find that the leaf and the leaf tip form a prismatic shape with faint ridges. On new leaves, a shallow ridge can be seen at the leaf tip, while old leaves gradually become rounder. It is drought-tolerant, relatively fond of fertilizer, and loves light. See the picture below.

Meatball No. 2: Cheese-kun "Meat Meat"

The reason I call it this is because it was my first pot of succulents. Not only did it draw me into the succulent rabbit hole, it also witnessed my whole journey from being at a loss to where I am now, with all the bitter experiences along the way. It followed me through a lot of hardship and can be said to have survived several brushes with death, but fortunately it is now obediently getting plump.

Meatball No. 3: Alba white cluster

This guy acts like it has never seen water, desperately stuffing itself. Who could still tell that this is the ethereal Alba? Other people's Alba clusters are so fairy-like, while mine is simply one big meatball!

Meatball No. 4: Little Cheese

When I first bought it, it was tiny. In the past two years, cheese succulents were very hard to find. In South Korea, it was practically a grab-it-while-you-can situation. Double-headed milk ones were even harder, and even with money in hand you would not know where to buy one. After much difficulty I got one, and it actually only grew flesh without growing taller!

Meatball No. 5: Peach Egg

Peach Egg is my absolute favorite, only my favorite, no second one. But from when I bought it at the beginning of last winter, it did not grow at all. Later, after much difficulty, it finally grew, but the more it grew, the more it looked like a little kidney. Every time I watered it, I watered it heavily, once every three or four days. Now it finally knows to repay me and has started growing, chubby and plump.

Meatball No. 6: Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo sun'

As exquisite and small as jade, this Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo sun' is not the round-leaf type. I have raised it bit by bit from when it was young until now. Its color changes with light. In an environment with sufficient light and a large temperature difference, it takes on a pale pink creamy color, while in an environment with insufficient light or humidity, it appears grayish green. The leaves are plump and round, looking pink and tender, which puts me in a great mood!

Actually, it is not very difficult to raise succulents plump. This is a gradual process of accumulating experience. The first thing we need to do is to learn from other people's lessons while calmly waiting for them to show us their beauty. You must not be impatient. I hope all friends who grow succulents, may your succulents grow fatter and more beautiful the more you raise them!
