Even lazy people can keep them alive! Beautiful and easy-care green plants
Legend has it that in the plant kingdom there exists a group of adorable little things
：
Short and stubby, plump and chubby, fleshy and round, looking as if stems, leaves and flowers are indistinguishable, yet without exception they all have thick, juicy shapes and the easygoing nature of "give them a bit of sunlight and they'll flourish."
They come from different places of origin and different families, their presence spanning Africa, Central Asia and the Americas; from spiky cacti to fresh little aloes, they are all members. These are the succulents.
Their native environment is very arid. To resist the harsh conditions and reduce water evaporation, their leaves gradually degenerated into spines, or they developed a waxy skin or a covering of fine hairs to reduce water loss. If necessary, they can even go dormant for a period until the environment becomes suitable again and then wake up.
Lazy-person plants
Soil, water and sunlight: with these three basic elements, succulents grow easily. Succulents do not need a lot of effort invested in them; they take very good care of themselves.
Water less
It is precisely because succulents grow in arid regions that their need for water is not very great, so for indoor cultivation, watering once every 7-10 days is generally enough. In summer, during their dormant period, you can water once every half month. Plants like Lithops can even be watered once a month in summer.
Easy to care for
Succulent growing medium is often a somewhat hard granular soil mixed with peat, which will not easily dirty the indoor environment and is very easy to care for!
Succulents need well-draining soil, because most succulent containers have no drainage holes: such as glass jars, teacups and the like, but adding pebbles or sandy soil at the bottom of the container can solve the drainage problem.
The editor has previously kept many green leafy plants, carefully tending them in every way on ordinary days, but after one business trip or vacation, the green plants all withered or even died. Oh, how heartbreaking! Now it is so much better: with these little adorable succulents, there is no need to worry about failing to keep them well, and no worries when on a business trip or vacation.
Whether you are often away from home, or simply a lazy person, succulents do not need your meticulous care and can still grow healthily.
For many friends who love gardening but do not know how to get started:
Succulent plants come in diverse shapes and rich varieties, and with a sip of water they can hold up for a very, very long time, making them absolutely the best choice for "lazy yet beautiful."
