A post-80s boy who has been obsessed with succulents his whole life, worth cheering for

Today let's talk about Ermu. The owner of Ermu Succulents is an internet celebrity, a truly crazy person, and many people like him, especially women. Why?

Obsessed with succulents for a lifetime - in the horticulture world, I think there are 2 people who can be called fanatics. One is Brother Kun, and the other is Ermu. After the start of autumn comes the peak growing season for succulents, so today let's talk about Ermu.

Some gossip about Ermu

Ermu's real name is: Xiao Jie

A typical post-80s boy, birthday is October 25

He started getting into succulents in 2010 and went crazy for them. His crazy moves are:

Reason for making the list: because of his love for succulent plants, he sold his house in the city, took out a lease on 110 mu of hillside, and drastically converted shipping containers to build his own succulent kingdom, and he only had 25 years to do it.

These crazy moves actually brought considerable returns too - super high popularity, and Ermu's succulent quality is really solid. I bought a few sets before, and the sizes were all very large. Let me recommend a few to everyone too, I hope you'll like them.

Mountain Rose (Greenovia aurea)

Ermu has about 10 Mountain Roses. Mountain Rose is also called Green Rose, because the leaves are green and wrapped up, looking especially like a rose. Mountain Rose has a layer of dried leaves; this protects the succulent, so absolutely do not remove them just for looks.

Actually, it is not hard to grow Mountain Rose well - just start from a few points

(1) Control watering

Mountain Rose, like other succulents, does not like too much water. When watering, it is best not to let water get into the rosette. We can choose a squeeze spray bottle, or use the soaking method.

Control sunlight

Getting plenty of sun is no problem. With good control of watering and sunlight, Mountain Rose sprouts easily, turning one head into many heads.

Use good fertilizer

If you want Mountain Rose to grow well, you need to use good fertilizer more often. Among these, minerals can increase sprouting. Organic matter can improve the soil and promote root growth, and can also make the leaves greener. Components such as humic acid in it can promote sprouting, and only then will the Mountain Rose be beautiful.

This Mountain Rose tillers well, and can actually form a succulent that fills the pot. So when choosing a flower pot, choose a slightly larger one, and secondly, do not place the succulents too close together, otherwise they will not be able to fill the pot. After growing it for a few years, I think this Mountain Rose can also become a pretty good old clump!

2. Lithops succulent plant

This variety of succulent has almost the slowest growth, and it does not grow plump. Everyone else takes plumpness as beauty, but this variety seems to be "losing weight." I remember Brother Kun had a Lithops, grew it for 4 years and it was only as big as an egg.

Lithops root very easily. Do not be fooled by the few roots - as long as conditions are suitable, they will grow steadily. Ermu's succulents are indeed expensive, but the quality really is beyond words, just like how Rose Hongyue is NO1. So when it comes to succulents, Ermu's should also be NO1. For succulent plants, just choose ordinary nutrient soil, add a bit of top dressing stone on the surface, and if you like, you can also add a few decorative items.

Behind a crazy man there may be many stories. Some people say Ermu is a man with stories. Ermu keeps succulent plants as companions, and every succulent he produces is treated as a "treasure," so being expensive is only natural. Alright, this is a story about Ermu. If you like it, give it a like!

Obsessed with succulents for a lifetime, cheering for this post-80s boy, support Ermu!
