Now let's begin the main text:

Fellow succulent lovers, hello everyone. Have you noticed that spring is actually a season for growing flesh, both in the pots and on the body. As a fat person over 100 jin, I wish I could give them the flesh off my body, giving them special care every day, so much so that of the succulents I raised in those years, only two bare stick plants were left.

Alright, enough nonsense. The secret is: you have to realize that succulents really are plants for lazy people!

Let's review the living conditions for succulents: ventilation, breathability and sunlight.

This was given to me as a gift when I bought succulents a year ago. At first I also wondered what it was. It refused to settle into the pot, until later...

Seeing it like this, I finally understood why the seller gave it to me back then. Seeing how Echeveria runyonii looks now, and that it survived, I feel comforted.

I didn't do much. After repotting, I put it on the rooftop, let it get drenched in a heavy rain, and it completely adapted to this pot, and even had babies.

You can try the soak-pot method: give it a full drink of water at once, then place it in a ventilated spot, preferably in dry and windy weather. Don't water often; when you water, water thoroughly. Soaking the pot once a month is enough, and it should not be too much. Rainwater is best.

My succulents are basically free-range on the rooftop now. Fertilizing and such doesn't exist, and I don't need to water them either; rain is enough. Then I just need to watch them become beautiful.

The Graptopetalum paraguayense my friend cut off for me; by the time I got it, the leaves had all fallen off, so I leaf-propagated them along the way

Something to look forward to now!

They've all grown up!

In spring many succulents bloom. Succulents are like people having babies, it is very draining. I cut off the flower stalks and let them grow independently...

It looks like it worked.

Basically: early-stage soil mixing + settling into the pot, then ventilation + sunlight, and succulents don't need much care. You can casually pick off a leaf and it can grow.

Let's wrap up with a blooming Tiya and my friend's Graptopetalum paraguayense. Spring really is a great season.
