Other names for Zui Meiren

Many succulent enthusiasts mistake Peach Egg / Tao Meiren for Zui Meiren, but this is actually not the case. Most Chinese names for succulents are transliterated from Japanese. Later, as more Korean succulents were purchased, the names multiplied. No matter what, there can only ever be one Latin scientific name, but no corresponding Latin scientific name has been found for Peach Egg, so Peach Egg is not Zui Meiren.

But like all "Meiren" varieties, Zui Meiren is the one that takes plump and adorable to the extreme.

Zui Meiren's requirements for temperature and light

Zui Meiren's watering requirements

The watering rule for Zui Meiren is to water thoroughly when you water, and not to water when the soil is not dry, usually about 2-3 times a month.

In summer, when watering, be careful about water accumulating in the pot from heavy rain, which can cause the roots to rot.

When winter temperatures are low, water less or even not at all, keeping the potting soil slightly dry.

In the growing season, take a healthy leaf and lay it flat on moist soil. After some time, give it a little water, and after a while it will root.
