BGM: Twins - Moscow Has No Tears
In mid-September, most cities have already entered autumn, right? Ah, not including some cities in the south.
Take Hangzhou, for example. Does Hangzhou even have autumn? It is still in the grip of the autumn tiger, and a temperature of 30°C still makes us praise it, saying, oh, it is cooler.
Comrades in the north, please do not come and rub salt in our wounds. After all, while you are happily buying succulents, trimming roots and planting them, succulent growers in the south are still crying while collecting empty pots!
Today, let us look back together at the spring and summer of a succulent grower~
- Happy, belongs to spring -
Basically all succulents are at their most beautiful in spring, with rich and gorgeous colors, beautiful beyond words.
In the morning there is still dew condensing, and one cannot help but think of that line: Like the morning dew, how much of life's bitterness has passed.
Yes, the next few months are the beginning of hardship.
The spring colors of Sempervivum make you want to grow them in an instant.
Graptopetalum mendozae, the little cutie everyone loves.
The Rainbow with so-so condition, a bit too much variegation, not very easy to grow.
The variegated Echeveria prolifica, a little thin and weak.
The perfect shape of Echeveria elegans, every glance is one glance fewer!
Senecio pendulus, slightly better looking than the puppet and the pencil cactus.
The must-die-in-summer Sedum moranense.
- Summer, I do not love you -
What is summer? It is air, iced soda, ice cream that you want to diet but cannot resist eating,
Or is it helplessly watching succulents slowly weaken? At the beginning, it is still okay, just a bit of fading, and then slowly, everyone knows how fierce the high temperatures are, right?
Shade, rain cover, move them to the side, as long as it can reduce the chance of being exposed to sunlight, everything has been tried.
- Summer survival recommendations -
Echeveria 'Meixing Jin', unexpectedly made it through summer successfully.
Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun'in summer, as long as there is enough water, everything is easy.
Echeveria 'Snow Elf'still has a bit of color, but its performance is quite good. With the genes of its mother plant Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy', it cannot be that bad.
Cheese and Peach Egg, which one survives summer better, place your bets. As expected, Cheese also lost its color, but as long as it is alive, everything is fine.
The tenacious Echeveria 'Purple Pearl', with a very strong will to survive. At this time, moving it indoors makes it easy to grow roots, but this thing's leaves are just limp in summer.
Sempervivum, a must-buy succulent after summer survival, too easy to grow, but prone to pests.
The ground-planted Aeonium begins to go dormant, and the most beautiful season for Aeonium has arrived. (Aeonium will be in the next issue, do not rush, do not rush)
Must praiseEcheveria 'Ice Jade', it can still develop dark patterns in summer, a hundred out of a hundred.
The second one that must be praised,Graptosedum 'Bronze'enters the stage! Although it is liver-colored, at least it looks a little bit better than green.
Lithops still love me more. In summer, Lithops should have their water cut appropriately.
Some succulents against the wall escaped disaster.
Must praise the third one,Sempervivum, still keeps producing pups in summer, and some parts do not fade easily. Even 1000 points can be given!
Extremely suitable for mixed planting and ground planting.
Agave 'Mexican Giant', not afraid even in the face of high temperatures.
Echeveria 'Ivory', quite good, no leggy growth, and in the second half of the year the price dropped whoosh whoosh whoosh, suitable for buying.
Echeveria 'Peach Blossom', it depends on the person. Maybe succulents in wreaths are just easier to get through summer?
Seed-sown and leaf-propagated small seedlings are easier to raise than large plants,
Ventilated on all four sides. The condition is pretty good.
Kalanchoe delagoensis f. variegata, also excellent, not afraid of the hot summer, with pink lace edges. Get to know the Kalanchoe anew.
The seasonal variegation of Echeveria prolifica, who knows whether it will fade in autumn.
The thin-leavedEcheveria 'Afterglow', beautiful, and also Echeveria 'Guanghan Gong', widely praised this year.
Echeveria 'Raindrops' is still quite mystical. Some do not grow bumps, while some are still growing bumps in summer.
All succulents are starting to look vegetable-green. Think optimistically: so what if they are vegetable-green, as long as they recover!
Unfortunately, I was still too naive. How could this guy summer be so easy to deal with?
Pachyphytum 'Mirror' is still okay now, and as for the future, we will see.
Echeveria 'Derlu' is still alive, while many next to it have died. Normal, normal.
- Car crash scene -
Many people have said that Echeveria 'Allen' easily gets pimples and blotchy faces in summer, and the same goes for Olivia, blotchy face in an instant.
Agave 'Princess Thor' gets sunburned if you are not careful. Variegated ones are just not easy to grow.
The corpse of Agave 'Kichijokan'. Agave also has a hard time getting through summer. Life is too miserable, but it seems everyone is about the same?
Echeveria 'Black Prince' and 'Green Prince' still do not forget to bloom in summer. Even if they bloom, I will not pollinate them.
The buns of the Echeveria elegans group instantly turn into old ladies in summer.
This one is called, green green green, a new variety Caramel Pansy. Want to buy it?
Tears streaming down, a whole patch died. Summer, so cruel and merciless.
For no apparent reason, leaves in the middle suddenly get used up. I do not understand.
- Waiting for autumn, eyes worn out with longing -
The weather has turned cool, so I took the time to tidy up the flower bed in the yard, and gathered up everything that was an eyesore.
The finished flower bed, does it not look completely renewed?
The red berries growing from the cracks always make people both surprised and delighted.
The succulents are slowly recovering at this time, looking forward to autumn.
Even temporary bitterness is also for harvesting the joy of autumn.
Getting ready to buy succulents, what about you?
