As society progresses, many people have to busy themselves with life every day, and when they have free time they do not want to socialize at all, but only want to stay home looking at flowers and growing plants. However, rest is at most only 2 days, and when Monday comes they still have to go to work. So, for friends who do not have much spare time, when growing flowers they will naturally lean toward choosing Buddha's hand, or succulents, because they are easy to care for, and even if you forget to water them they will not easily die. Below, we recommend some "different" trailing succulents; each has its own characteristics and can bring a different visual enjoyment to your home.


Burro's tail

Burro's tail is relatively uncommon in flower shop markets, but it can still be bought, and the price varies roughly according to the length of the stems, with a selling price of about 20 to 50 yuan. In appearance, it has something like little ribbons tied together hanging over the outer wall of the flower pot, and if cared for well the leaves will even show a light pink color.

In terms of care, it is easier to grow than ordinary succulents. In spring and autumn it can take in more sunlight, and it is recommended to place it in a spot with air circulation and light. But in the hot summer it should be shaded appropriately, otherwise sunburn can occur. In winter, when the temperature is below -3 degrees, be careful to bring it back indoors for warmth, otherwise it will drop a large number of leaves.

String of pearls

If you want to create the feeling of a curtain of dreams at home, of course choose string of pearls. Each of its leaves is like a round prayer bead, and the vines are very long. If grown well, their length will keep increasing.

In terms of care, the suitable growing temperature is around 20-28 degrees Celsius. It is very drought-tolerant and suitable for office workers to grow. The watering principle is to water only after the soil has dried out completely. For fertilizing, it is recommended that flower lovers choose a fertilizer high in potassium and high in nitrogen; with high potassium its beads will be plump, and with high nitrogen its stems will grow relatively fast (for high nitrogen, choose Huaduoduo No. 10).


Purple moon

Purple moon belongs to the succulent varieties of the Asteraceae family, genus Othonna, and it also hangs in strings along the stems, with leaves shaped like a curved crescent moon like a chalice. Generally speaking, newly grown leaves are green, and later, if there is sufficient light or a relatively large temperature difference, they will gradually turn purplish red, very dreamy.

In terms of care, it is a famously lazy-person flower; even if you forget to water it for a week, no problems will appear. For placement, you can choose a spot with a lot of light, so it can absorb more light and the stems can also grow quickly.
