The old couple who raised meat for 40 years built a succulent garden that everyone envied and did not sell it for 10 million.

Every time we talk about succulent plants, it seems that in the eyes of many flower friends, succulent plants are loved by young people, but in fact they are not.

Today, Huahua is here to introduce you to an old couple who raise meat. They have been raising succulent plants for more than 40 years.

As a native of Chengdu, Switzerland, the author of this article, "Jasmin with sharp teeth", had the privilege of visiting the old couple's succulent shed. Next, please follow in her footsteps and take a look at the legendary succulent greenhouse of other people.

Switzerland's HAKAFLOR comprehensive succulent greenhouse, their owner is a kind old couple, has raised more than 40 years of succulent, stable breeding varieties, has reached more than 2800! In the greenhouse of the old couple, the main varieties cultivated are cactus, halberd, apricot and so on.

As soon as I entered the door, the first thing I saw was the succulent shed of the old couple, no matter it was outdoor or indoor, it was so full of succulent plants that my eyes were almost dazzled.

Next to the greenhouse, there is a small house where the old couple live. The door of the house is also full of succulent plants. Does it look super cute?

I have a cactus pit god said that the old couple's succulent shed, almost covered all the cactus cattle. But any variety of cactus you want to buy can be bought here!

I heard that they are still buying rare cactus varieties. Earlier, they proudly told me that they had photographed a 500-euro cactus, and the flower pinched and calculated that it cost more than 3700 RMB, which scared the baby to death.

After entering the nursery, I almost drooled and wanted to take the whole basin away! It's a pity that I can only think about it.

Although Sedum is only a small number here, it is the only breeding greenhouse with hundreds of varieties in Switzerland.

On the other hand, the old lady seems to prefer Sedum, because I have been there several times and found that the varieties of Sedum have not been sold at all. They are all kept and appreciated by themselves. If you chase them, she slowly pulls out a few for you to choose. It's so cute!

Next, let's take a look at one of my favorite succulent trees. It is said that it grows once a year and blossoms only once every five years. This one is about 70 years old. The lovely old man kept asking me if I was beautiful. I keep talking about beauty, but in fact, I still don't understand its beauty.

The old lady told me that she felt that she was not a businessman, but a succulent fan, so they loved to help meat friends answer questions about succulent plants. Next, I summed up the experience of two people breeding succulent plants for more than 40 years, just for your reference!

First of all, let's talk about the watering of succulent plants.

Florists who raise meat all know that watering is the first step in raising meat, and the first step must be done before the next thing can be done. Therefore, for the flower friends whose room temperature is higher than 32 ℃ in summer, the water supply can be cut off directly, and there is no need for water supply until it falls below 30 ℃.

If the temperature suddenly falls below 30 ℃ on occasional 2-3 days in the summer cycle, it does not need watering, because if the temperature suddenly picks up in the following days, watering may lead to muggy heat and basically black rot.

There is more water in spring and autumn, generally watering 2-3 times a month, if the succulent plants raised by dew will be caught in the rain, then reduce watering. Father KAHA's advice is that beginners don't get caught in the rain, and the temperature is higher than 30 ℃, don't get caught in the rain!

The second point is about the prevention of common succulent diseases and insect pests.

For those coal diseases, darkness and other bacteria, it is mainly caused by lack of ventilation.

If it is not serious, the old lady suggests that it is best not to spray medicine, put it in a cool outdoor place with strong ventilation, remove part of the bacteria and cut off the water until the wound heals naturally.

The most effective way to kill pests is to irrigate the soil twice a year.

For the first time to kill insects, you can choose to resume watering in the first week after the beginning of spring, water the succulent plant once with warm water to relax and wake up, wait for the basin soil to be completely dry, and then carry out the second watering. At this time, add water-soluble insecticides to water the roots until the whole basin soil is thoroughly watered.

The best time for the second disinfestation is mid-August, when, as in March, insecticide can be irrigated on a large area. Before and after killing insects twice, it is best not to get caught in the rain and make sure the potion is completely dry. 2 large area insecticidal, the frequency is not too high, otherwise it will lead to succulent produce drug resistance.

See the hole in the front ball? The old lady told me that one year she had been eaten by worms, and there was too much meat that had not been found. When she found it, a large piece of meat was gnawed off.

Huahua thinks this is a naked show of wealth!

The old lady also has something to say about fertilization.

The old lady told me that, in fact, succulent plants do not need to be fertilized at all. After all, it is grown in the wild, and there is basically no fertilizer except rain all the year round. If you want to give fat, just a little bit is good, too much is easy to cause harm.

In terms of choosing flowerpots, the old lady said that in fact, any container you want is fine. generally speaking, plastic bottles are the best. after all, they are both cheap and water-conserving.

Look at this pot of meat. Is it bigger than the palm of my hand?

Finally, let's talk about the temperature of meat!

In fact, 15-25 ℃ is the best growth temperature, in addition to the dormant period, if you can always maintain this temperature range, meat can grow better!

So why do so many flower friends build a greenhouse? It's because the temperature in the greenhouse is relatively constant!

Now the summer temperature is too high, if it persists above 30 ℃, the sun and water will be cut off. How long the high temperature lasts, how long the water will be cut off.

Many florists may want to ask, the climate in Switzerland is completely different from that in China. Isn't it nonsense for you to talk so much?

In fact, the weather in Switzerland is similar to that in northeast China, and it is entirely possible to maintain it in China.

Finally, I would like to say one thing that is particularly regrettable.

That is because the children of the old couple are unwilling to inherit the greenhouse, so now the variety of succulent meat is gradually decreasing, and maybe in a few years, even these kinds of meat will not be seen!
