What are the benefits and effects of succulents? Succulent fans, don't miss out

Succulents are not only beautiful and cute, which is why many people like to grow these plants. Growing them makes people feel good and has many beneficial effects. Let's take a look below at what benefits and effects succulents have.

1. The most suitable plant for lazy people to grow

Because succulents grow in arid regions, they themselves have little demand for water. For general indoor growing, watering once every 7-10 days is enough. Summer is their dormant period, so you can water once every half a month. For varieties like Lithops, summer is the dormant period, so you can water once a month. So whether you are often away from home or just a lazy person, succulents do not need your careful tending and can still grow healthily.

2. Radiation protection

Some succulents have a radiation-protection effect. For most of us office workers, this is a good thing. We can grow some succulents and place them on the computer desk to protect against radiation.

3. A wide variety of forms

Succulents come in a wide variety of forms with many variations, which can satisfy all kinds of aesthetic needs. Of course, compared with relatively tall herbaceous and woody plants, they are much shorter and smaller, which depends on personal preference.

4. Miniature and compact, versatile home decor

Succulents, just like their name, are plump and chubby, and their size is small. Apart from caudiciform varieties and a few individual varieties, most are within 5-20CM in diameter. Lithops are perennial, and even the largest will not exceed 10CM. Get a small, delicate pot, place it on the computer desk, on the coffee table, on the TV cabinet, on the bookshelf... put it wherever you like. Anyway, it does not take up space, and it is beautiful.

5. Purify the air and release oxygen

The respiration of succulents is the opposite of other plants. Ordinary plants carry out photosynthesis during the day and release oxygen, while at night they release carbon dioxide. Succulents, however, close their respiration during the day and absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night. Because they grow in arid and hot regions, during the day they close their stomata to avoid water loss, and at night the stomata open to absorb CO2 and then form malic acid stored in the large vacuole, and during the day they release CO2 for photosynthesis. This unique metabolic method is called "Crassulacean acid metabolism."

Succulents, just like their name, are plump and chubby, and their size is especially small. Apart from caudiciform varieties and a few individual varieties, most are within 5-20CM in diameter. Perennial succulents like Lithops will not exceed 10CM even at their largest. Get a small, delicate pot, place it on the computer desk, on the coffee table, on the TV cabinet, on the bookshelf. No matter where you put it, it can protect our health while beautifying the environment around us. Growing succulents is also a good choice.
