6 flowers that suit a low-cost approach: they grow vigorously without spending money or fussing over them

When it comes to growing flowers, many people feel you must be "rich and free". That thinking is not wrong: buying flowers, soil, pots, fertilizer... all cost money, and tending them every day takes time. Still, it depends on what you grow. For example, the 6 kinds below cost no money and need no fuss, yet each grows vigorously and beautifully!

Aloe

Huahua has been growing flowers at home for many years, and there is always a pot of aloe. It just will not die, and every year it produces a pile of small aloe pups. Neighbors and friends have been given them all around, and I believe many flower lovers who grow aloe are the same~

1. How to propagate

Aloe cannot be grown from cuttings; it mainly reproduces by division. Now that the weather has cooled, it is just the right time to divide and repot. Dig it out and carefully pull it apart, and one pot becomes many. The survival rate of the small aloe pups is 100%.

2. How to "grow it cheaply"

Aloe grows slowly. In the ground it is faster; indoors in pots, because of insufficient ventilation, it grows slowly and easily becomes leggy. What to do? Better to be lazy with it. Mix some sand into the soil, do not water too often, and usually give it rainwater or water from washing vegetables, and it will grow fast!

Stringy stonecrop

Stringy stonecrop is common by the roadside, and many people grew it as children. Pick one sprig and take it home, and half a plastic bottle is enough to grow it. Hang it by the door, and it does not fear wind or sun~

1. How to propagate

Stringy stonecrop can be grown from cuttings, a bit like moss rose. Pinch off a stem and stick it in soil and it lives. Huahua has an old washbasin at home, picked up a dozen or so stringy stonecrop sprigs and stuck them in, and in 3 months it grew into a "green mushroom", filling the pot so fast.

2. How to "grow it cheaply"

Stringy stonecrop really needs no care, though indoors you need to consider humidity, so occasionally mist it to add moisture. With no fertilizer it still grows wildly, so much that you get annoyed. Huahua heard it can be served cold dressed, so snip some and there is a plate of food. Now you do not need to worry about it growing too much.

Kalanchoe

Do not say cheaply grown flowers are not beautiful. Look at the colorful kalanchoe, which can bloom all year round and is a year-round bestseller in flower markets. Are you still spending money to buy it? You are really out of date~

1. How to propagate

Kalanchoe cuttings are very easy. How easy? Even a leaf can root. The leaves and flowering branches trimmed off in normal care can all be stuck into soil, and before you know it you have propagated a pile. Why pay to buy them?

2. How to "grow it cheaply"

When growing kalanchoe, the biggest fear is that you are too diligent. Water it too much and it blackens and turns to mush, and always moving it around also affects growth. In autumn and winter, put it in a bright, ventilated place, water again after the soil dries, and give it rainwater or rice-washing water, and it blooms from autumn into winter!

Aptenia cordifolia

Ordinary spider plant is too plain, so grow Aptenia cordifolia instead. Almost every one of Huahua's neighbors has a pot. The leaves are so green they glisten, and it opens little red flowers that are extremely festive!

1. How to propagate

Just pinch off a piece of Aptenia cordifolia and stick it in soil and it lives. Many flower lovers fail with cuttings, either because they water too much and it rots without ventilation, or because it is too dry and withers. Remember to put it in soil on a shady windowsill, water thoroughly, then water again after 2-3 days, and the survival rate will be higher.

2. How to "grow it cheaply"

Flower lovers in southern regions can absolutely grow it outdoors, where it grows even more vigorously. Flower lovers in the north should move it indoors in winter. As long as you do not water too often, it definitely will not die. The only issue is that with insufficient light it blooms less; watering a little rice-washing water can also encourage flowering~

Cactus

Do not underestimate the cactus. It also has a formaldehyde-absorbing effect. Many green plants die quickly after absorbing formaldehyde, but it is different. As long as you do not mess with it, you can definitely grow it well!

1. How to propagate

Cacti also produce small offsets. If you think it is too slow, you can perform a little surgery on it: cut a slit on its head! Then put it in a ventilated place and keep caring for it for about 1 month, and it will sprout little heads on its own.

2. How to "grow it cheaply"

When growing cacti, the biggest fear is rain, because rainwater falling on the body makes it prone to disease and rot. Usually, do not water by pouring over the body either. Also, do not water too often; too much water makes it grow leggy into a "cactus column", not round at all!

Succulents

Every summer, more than half of succulents die, but Huahua has already taken it lightly. By all means do not choose expensive ones to grow. Just casually pick up some cheap ones and take them home for leaf propagation, and in no time you will become a big grower!

1. How to propagate

From succulents that died in summer, leave the good leaves and place them on moist soil; no need to insert them. Put them in a cool, ventilated spot and mist with water every two days. They quickly root and sprout on their own, and in about 4 months they can fill a pot!

2. How to "grow it cheaply"

When growing succulents, the fear is too much water. Almost all cases of turning to mush and black rot are from too much water and root rot, so lazy growing is best; being too diligent is actually worse. In autumn, if you want the succulents to grow fast, give them more sun and add a few granules of slow-release fertilizer, and that is enough.

Growing flowers does not have to cost money

Grow them cheaply and you can still become a big grower
