3 green plants not watered for over a month, yet they grow more and more beautiful

Here are 3 green plants that need very little watering. When you are away from home, they still grow well without any care. Many people love flowers and plants, but few can really grow them well. Part of that is the person's problem, and the other part is the plant's problem. Below are a few easy-care flowers and plants recommended for lazy people and those with a black thumb; they grow well even without care.

The first: snake plant (Sansevieria). The snake plant is a desert plant that can withstand harsh environments and long droughts. When watering, follow the principle of watering thoroughly once you water, but do not let water accumulate. If watered too frequently, its leaves will turn white and the color of its stripes will fade. During the peak growing season, the snake plant should be watered regularly. During the winter dormant period, watering should be controlled and the soil kept dry. When growing it in decorative flower pots with poor drainage, never let water accumulate, so as to avoid root rot that causes the leaves to fold over below.

The snake plant is not strict about soil and can grow normally even in a very small volume of soil. For growing snake plants, use loose, fertile, well-aerated sandy soil, so that it grows more robustly; even when the pot is full, growth will not be suppressed. Generally, snake plants are repotted once every two years, and repotting is best done in spring; standard compost can be used when repotting.

The second: aloe. It is best not to let water accumulate in the aloe pot for long periods; excessively high soil moisture will cause the roots to lack oxygen and rot and die. Usually, watering once a week is enough, and in winter the amount of watering must be controlled even more, otherwise aloe is prone to root rot. For household potted aloe, it is best to use clay pots, which have good air permeability. If plastic pots are used, it will cause aloe root rot.

For growing aloe, it is best to use sandy soil. This is because sandy soil has good air permeability and drainage, and aloe grows best in sandy soil. It is best if some humus soil can be added as fertilizer, but it is also fine if there is none. Usually, watering with some rice-washing water is enough to ensure the aloe's nutrition; there is no need to fertilize deliberately. On the contrary, fertilizing during the dog days makes root rot easy.

The third: succulents. Summer is a season that succulents have a relatively hard time getting through. During this period, humidity is higher and there is more moisture in the air, and succulents can survive just on the moisture in the air. Watering can be controlled. However, if the plant is too small, it will also dry up if not given water for 3 months, so you can judge by the condition of the leaves and choose a cool night to replenish water.
