Many friends like to grow some plants at home or in the office, but sometimes they neglect to care for them, causing the flowers to wither. Now let me introduce some plants suitable for lazy people to grow. They all share one common trait: they are easy to look after and do not need daily attention. Below are 3 kinds of flowers suitable for "lazy people" to grow; not watered for 40 days, the leaves turned even more glossy green and shiny, very beautiful!

Here, "lazy people" refers to those who have no time to grow flowers but still love plants and greenery. These 3 kinds of flowers are named pothos, snake plant and cactus, and they are also common plants that can be seen in many places.

Pothos

To be honest, Sister Wang next door grew several pots of plants, and now only the pothos is left; all the others have wilted. This shows that pothos is actually not hard to grow. She has always kept it in water, so she just changes the water, and every so often a new leaf appears. As for watering pothos, remember one saying: "Do not water if dry, and water thoroughly when you do" - this is the general rule for watering flowers. Never water it for no reason, and never give just a little splash.

The way to judge whether the potting soil needs to stay moist is to see whether the soil turns white. Once it turns white, water it thoroughly. Pothos grows in layers in shaded spots under large trees, so it is a plant that tolerates shade relatively well and likes diffused light. It must not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise newly sprouted leaves will lose water and become smaller, with dull color, and the leaf edges are easily scorched.

Snake plant

If you want to grow pothos, as long as your home has heating in winter, keep the snake plant indoors, and do not let it go below 18°C. Water less when the weather is cold; if it can get through winter, it is easy to grow. The snake plant grows fast and multiplies quickly. Give it a bit of water and it can survive; it is a fairly good and common plant. It likes warmth and humidity, tolerates drought, likes light and also tolerates shade. It is not strict about soil, and sandy loam with good drainage is better. Its optimum growing temperature is 20-30°C, and its overwintering temperature is 10°C. Snake plant can be propagated by division and cuttings.

The plant can reach about 1 m in height. The leaves grow in clumps and are upright, thick and leathery, with irregular dark green cloud-like horizontal stripes on both sides, hence the name "tiger tail." This plant has strong adaptability and can be managed quite extensively. For potting, use 3 parts fertile garden soil, 1 part coal cinder, and add a small amount of soybean cake crumbs or poultry manure as base fertilizer.

Cactus

The cactus is a tropical plant that grows in dry, high-temperature conditions, so it should not be watered too much, otherwise the cactus roots and stems will rot. In summer and autumn, water once a week; in spring, water once every ten days; in winter, watering once a month is enough. It does not matter if you usually forget to water it, as long as you do not overwater it. During the dormant period, it will be fine even without water for 40 days.
