I have been lurking in the Encyclopedia for quite a while, learning a lot of experience, hearing a lot of stories, and seeing far too many beautiful succulents. Looking back at my own treasures, sitting quietly in their little corner of the balcony, admiring themselves like small, delicate beauties, compared with those succulents that freely interact with the sunlight, they lack a bit of health and vitality. Fortunately, autumn is here, and anything is possible.

It has been less than a year since I truly fell into this hobby, and I am still in the internship period. I have no old stems, only young succulents. This year was my first year carrying them through the summer. Although I studied carefully, I still ended up with more than ten empty pots. So I do not have much successful experience, only some experiences and photos to share with everyone. The succulents were posed on the balcony in early summer, the light was not good, and the phone camera resolution was average, but I was serious about taking the photos.

Bao Li Anna; actually I forgot the name, and only matched it up after checking the purchase record. The succulent is very tough. It is the only one of the four succulents bought two years ago that survived. After that I did not buy succulents for a long time. It was planted in this cracked coffee cup, never repotted or given new soil, never sprayed with pesticide, and it has not changed much, just quietly staying there.

Still her

Berkeley Jin. It was a little expensive when I bought it, but it really has outstanding presence. Later it grew taller and was not as pretty as when it was small. I do not know whether this autumn it can become beautiful again.

Yang Jin, bought because of the name.

Lao Er and Luo Qi are so hard to tell apart. The seller said Lao Er is fragrant, and this one is Luo Qi. All right, it looks exquisite and pretty in the photo, so Luo Qi it is. When it arrived I smelled it, and the seller had not lied, it was not fragrant. Then, on a sunny spring afternoon, I smelled the wind blowing in from the window, and it was sweet and fragrant. Yes, it was her, and the plot reversed. Surprising or not, a pleasant surprise or not! Later I found that when there is no sunlight, she still is not fragrant.

Ri Bing cluster, it developed black rot in summer. I cut off two heads and they are rooting now. I do not know whether they can survive.

Bing Mei cluster, without any warning, it also developed black rot! And the black rot was so thorough that not a single piece was left!

Blue Apple, this one has always been very healthy. Later the color became slightly yellow, and it looks better than in the photo. I am waiting for autumn for it to grow into an apple tree.

This is my favorite one, round and lustrous, charmingly naive.

Pink Blue Bird, Ice Jade, and a Comic Tom mixed together. This tin pot really has quite a feel to it.

Cream Yellow Peach cluster. Ah, people say flower pots are ironclad while succulents flow like water, yet this favorite pot of mine was accidentally broken.

A small Onsno cluster, it looks more like some kind of claw or some kind of Ji Lian.

The one on the right is Crayon, and I forgot the name of the one on the left. May each be well.

Pi Shi Jin? I think that is what it is called, a cool, detached style.

Blue Surprise, a must-have for beginners! Almost all of my surprises were gifts from sellers.

One double-headed Surprise, yet it grew into two different forms. The other two are unnamed, and I am trying hard to recall... I still really like this combination.

A pot of stones guarded by a little lion.

Golden Branch and Jade Leaf, very pleasing to look at.

Another close-up.

Japanese Jingyue, in this summer, it died.

White Moon Shadow, it has already grown so much that the pot soil cannot be seen. It seems that whether it gets sunlight or not, its condition does not change much.

A fresh and delicate Flower Cart Jin, unfortunately beauty is short-lived.

It is not fragrant, so why is it called Perfume? Its appearance is still quite elegant.

The chubby Allen, could it rival Peach Egg? In spring it was attacked. Fortunately I discovered it in time and, imitating Rong Momo, used a silver needle on it, and the enemy insects were utterly defeated.

A full-body shot.

Hera, the face of my succulents.

Vanilla - it originally had three heads. By the time I took the photo, only one head was left. Later, Little White Bear occupied this pot.

Lingbo Fairy, so beautiful. I often held it in my palm and examined it closely. Unfortunately, it also passed away.

Large-leaf Xiuyan, this is one that is not picky, does not put on airs, and blooms brightly with just a bit of sunlight.

Raindrop, my obsessive-compulsive disorder, ah. Several times I wanted to see what was inside the little bumps, but I held back.

The domineering Violet Queen.

Unnamed, it made it through summer, yet collapsed in autumn.

Orange Monroe, such a big one, it has never been orange. Green Monroe? All right, as long as it is alive!

Strawberry Ice? A little girl that makes people feel tender affection.

Some Ji Lian? She and the babies are all still here, and I look forward to them growing up healthily.

A small group photo.

At the time there were not enough pots, so several were planted together. Maybe in this way a competitive relationship formed, and after summer they were the healthiest-growing ones.

Unnamed, adorably cute.

Cute Rose.

From this pot, only one small seedling was saved.

This pot, although thin and weak, all of them survived.

This one, when it arrived it was fuzzy like the stone at the edge of the pot. Now, covered all over with spines, it is mixing in among the succulents.

Finally, let us end with hand-painted stones. Thank you everyone for watching me display my succulents as if counting my treasures. When I have nothing to do, I flip through the orders. Oh my, buy flowers, buy soil, buy pots, buy medicine, buy flowers... I am endlessly delighted, and I have spent no small amount of silver. But who told me to like them? My small, delicate beauties will lead me further and further along this path.
