The first plant lover said, my parents specially bought a duplex with a 30 sq m terrace for me to grow succulents, adding up to over 300 sq m, I won't even mention the housing price, I have to go to school now and hardly have time to manage it, my mom said the whole balcony is mine, letting me do whatever I want, I was over the moon. Because I heard others say they had seen succulents on the mountain, I organized a spring outing with my friends, brought them along, my parents went to dig up succulents, then dug back a pile of Orostachys, which got sooty mold and were all thrown away.

The second plant lover: I don't grow succulents, but my wife loves growing them, she's not interested in green plants, she just likes growing succulents, as she slowly bought more and more succulents the soil wasn't enough. She actually stole the soil from the pot of my money tree, why do I say stole? Because she knew I definitely wouldn't let her dig soil from the pot, and digging in the neighborhood would go against her morals, she was afraid people would see her and it wouldn't look good. So she dug a little each time, and after digging she would cover it back with the net that holds the soil, and you wouldn't know unless you lifted it to look. At the time I was a bit puzzled, why was this money tree getting more and more wilted? Until this summer when the fan was turned on for the first time, it actually blew the money tree over.

The third plant lover: I'm female, last year the office building at my workplace was going to have its rooftop renovated because it was in disrepair, the long-neglected rooftop was a paradise for many small birds, with thick layers of bird droppings accumulated. Because I had been brainwashed by a big shot's post before, saying bird droppings are great fertilizer. During the renovation, workers were throwing all kinds of garbage down from the rooftop, I stood outside the construction safety net at the bottom of the building covered in dust, watching, and when large chunks of bird droppings were thrown outside the safety net, I quickly picked them up, and only when the black plastic bag was almost full did I return to the office satisfied, as soon as I entered the office I ran into our leader, he saw I was holding a black bag, and asked me what tasty food I had, I was so embarrassed at the time.

The fourth plant lover: Half a month ago I cried over succulents. I just felt wronged and sad. I was at the hospital taking care of my mom, and I put the succulents (300 leaves of different varieties) outside, some covered to block the sun, I called my younger brother to help water them and bring them inside. He didn't do it at all, and by the time I got home, all the succulents were dead, and the shade cover was nowhere to be found, then I had an emotional breakdown, I had worked so hard looking at them and observing them every day, they had already grown little buds, how could they all die.

In order to have enough space to grow succulents, I spent everything to swap for a big house, in order to have a better display spot, I built an extra rooftop myself, in order to have more ample sunlight, I extended the second-floor rooftop up to the fourth floor, in order to block the deadly summer rainstorms, I also built a 30 sq m glass roof, growing succulents is a very fun thing, what have you all done for succulents?
