Originally, I had a happy family of three. My wife was virtuous, capable and reasonable. My daughter was in college, gentle and dexterous. However, four years ago, his wife accidentally broke her leg and failed to recover for a long time. From then on, she seemed to be a different person, and the family fell into confusion. Maybe it's succulent, which makes our home a little more alive. I can't write, I don't have gorgeous words, I don't know how to photograph, I don't have beautiful pictures. However, I believe that the beauty of the soul is the real beauty, and the beauty of plants should be the natural and pure beauty! The story is very long, let me tell you slowly:

First, the story of Yushu

On March 18, 2015, I saw a tree in the home of an aunt studying Buddhism. It grew very full, with green and small white flowers. It attracted me all of a sudden. I heard my aunt say that it was called Yushu. It had been raised for 15 years since a leaflet. It blossomed this year. At that time, I decided to raise one myself and watch it grow up.

The Yushu of my aunt's house

Coincidentally, on October 25, 2015, my wife's best friend's father-in-law had a cerebral hemorrhage and hemiplegia, so our family drove to visit. When I entered the door, I saw three pots of lifeless jade trees in the corner of his house. The soil in the pots was dry and cracked, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of them for a long time. After lunch, I stood there and watched for a long time. The aunt said, "the old man used to like it and raised it for ten years, but now he is sick and no one cares about them, so let them fend for themselves!" I hurriedly said, "Auntie, I'll keep it!" The aunt readily agreed. So her son and I carried two of the pots to the trunk and followed us all the way home.

A heavy snow in 2016 dealt a near-fatal blow to them, and even if they were moved into the house, one of the trees froze to death. On September 15, 2017, the tree that barely survived was dying. In order to be a doctor of a dead horse, ten branches were cut off and inserted into pots, and the roots were still kept. And then they all survived. Two trees were given to the neighbor's sister, two trees were given to their mother, and the rest were kept by themselves. Their spirits and spirits were already different.

Second, the story of rat tail paw

June 7, 2015, I was cleaning the balcony upstairs when a red flower came into view on the windowsill. I was surprised to run downstairs to tell them the good news, which must be a good sign! The daughter recalled: this potted plant was taken back from my little sister's house during the 10-year summer vacation (that is, the aunt of the Yushu family), which is called rat tail palm. I remember clearly that it happened to be my daughter's college entrance examination that day, and then she was admitted to the university as she wished. Because I keep it downstairs all the time, my daughter can take care of it several times when she is on holiday. One day in January 2017, my wife threw the trash can when she saw it half dead. I happened to see it and picked it up.

Bloom for the first time

On May 17, 2017, it blossomed again, this time with three flowers. I was overjoyed and thought it must be another good sign. Sure enough, the "little girl" was admitted to the university that year! After so many years, I really treated it badly, and it showed its value with its indomitable vitality. From that moment on, I swore that I would treat it well and let it live forever. When I moved into the sunny room this winter, I accidentally knocked over the basin, so I gave it a new orchid basin, which is a lot older than the original one.

The second flowering

On May 9 this year, it bloomed again, the ugliest of you, the most beautiful flower! Today, this pot of rat tail paw has been with us for nine years and has brought us a lot of good luck.

The third flowering

Third, the story of tequila

2017.10.03 my wife's work partner and little sister in life, knowing that my sister's legs were not strong and depressed, she was in a much better mood because she was growing flowers, so she sent several pots of flowers. Among them, a basin of hydroponics was placed in front of the glass door of the living room. I only knew that I needed to change water once a week in winter and two or three times a week in summer. I didn't know its name. It was not until February of the following year that my wife saw a popular science article in the encyclopedia that she knew that tequila was also a kind of succulent plant, which could be cultivated in water or soil. Because of the trouble of changing water, I didn't know how many times I bathed it in eight months, so I wanted to change it to soil planting. Later, after listening to the advice of my friends in WeChat circle, I decided to continue hydroponics to serve it. I am particularly happy that I finally have a "big meat" and want to compete with that god to surpass him!

Fourth, the story of the big wooden basin succulent.

In April 2017, my wife had a growing leg disease and had to rest at home. I was at a loss when I saw her depressed and lost confidence in life every day. But life had to go on, and only then did I enter the succulent door in order to regain her interest. So I spent 60 yuan on a treasure to buy 30 varieties of seedlings and soil. At first, in order to accumulate experience, I didn't spend money on pots. I planted them all in a wooden basin with a diameter of 70 centimeters, which was still my mother-in-law's dowry. I planted the succulent plants according to the instructions on the Internet, and they all survived two weeks later. Then I searched the knowledge of conservation, regularly gave them water to bask in the sun, very attentively, with the arrival of spring, they finally changed their beauty!

Fifth, the story of succulent plant buying

Two weeks later, a large pot of succulent plants came alive, imagining all kinds of beauties when they grow up. When I went to the south gate for a meeting, I heard that there was a succulent mall there. I stopped by to see it on my way home. It covers an area of 20 mu, has seven or eight greenhouses, and has a surprising variety of succulent plants. The landlady received me warmly, and I told him the reason for my raising meat, so she picked out the easy succulent plants for me and matched them with pots. I bought 30 pots at once and added her Wechat. She told me what she was afraid of forgetting and took notes very carefully. Perhaps a man's carefulness left a deep impression on her. When I got home, my wife also added the boss's Wechat. So many pots will be placed on the edge of the outdoor pool, and later Amoy a flower rack. In this way, the wife often follows the boss's WeChat circle, and her mood is much better. Every time I go to the south gate, I will go there to take a look around and buy some pots. There are already 100 pots so far!

Succulent plants for the first time

Six: the story of the black mage, the queen's flower hat, and the golden table Lena's pots.

The wife is upright, so she has always been very popular. In September 2017, her best friend suddenly called her and said that she had bought her succulent plant in the succulent shed and asked the landlady to deliver the goods to her door. The wife knew that she was a big hand, so she told her not to buy a big, expensive one, but to buy a small, cheap one. And told her not to deliver the goods, she had the opportunity to get it herself, you know, the fare from the south gate to here was 70 or 80, and she said yes.

More than an hour later, the landlady sent it to my house and brought down a large pot of succulent plants and several small ones. I learned from the landlady that it cost nearly 500 yuan to sell it to her at a 20% discount. This is the first time for the wife to meet the boss's wife, they hit it off, heard the boss's business story, admired. Perhaps that is fate, the two of them have now become good friends and have agreed that the baby of their second child will recognize her as a godmother. In this way, according to the instructions of the landlady, she took care of the basin mage and spent the cold winter days. Now the basin mage's best friend no longer knows it. The cabbage she said at that time has really become like its name, the queen's flower hat! No matter from which point of view, it is beautiful. The five-headed gold watch Lena also became nine, and the villain sacrifice also opened a bright little yellow flower which was particularly beautiful.

I have always heard that succulent plants will be hung up in summer, and my wife is afraid that the sorcerer will not survive the summer. She really has the idea of transfer in her moments. When I learned that Wechat immediately transferred to her 1000 yuan, saying that I bought it, I told her that the change of the mage can bring us happiness, but can 1000 yuan buy happiness? I'm sure it will make it through the summer.

Speaking of the Dharma Master, there was another episode. When I was taking care of it in the sunshine room in February, I accidentally broke a branch. Later, according to the guidance of the landlady, after drying it for a week, I planted it on the 3.1, because there was no pot at home, and I didn't know if I could save it. I just planted it in a hanging orchid basin. Half a month later, I found it alive, and after a few days, I also found that it had grown several heads. The first cuttings surprised me, and I had to sigh the tenacity of succulent vitality. A basin, a little soil, a little water can survive. I gave it a new home a few days ago, and mother and daughter live next door. So these days I fell in love with the mage, and I plan to buy a few more varieties after autumn, so that I can become a magician!

The Little Buddha suit and the Story of the Green Master

In the past, my mother-in-law was not interested in my recommendation of growing flowers, but later she followed me to the greenhouse twice and saw the succulent world there. She was impressed and fell in love with it. I usually go out to meetings, know that my wife can not move in and out, but also have been taking care of them for me, know a lot, but also keep an eye on the weather forecast for me and remind me in time. This year, International Working Women's Day plans to give her mother-in-law a gift. Because she is a Buddhist student, she bought her a set of pots for the little Buddha, which she also picked out from the landlady. She knew that I was used to honor the elderly and even confiscated the money. I remember her atmosphere in my heart. One of the red Buddha had not taken the basin for a long time, so he gave it a watermelon ball, which was a better match than the original one. The oversized black basin of the Green Master was the tiger Pilan bought by my little sister at the beginning. I watered a lot of water and froze my roots in winter. Later, the big basin planted the Green Master next to the little Buddha, and now it has taken root and has two more heads.

The story of the new succulent home

In November 2017, in the face of 100 pots of succulent plants in my family, large and small, it occurred to me that I must let them survive the winter safely. After asking my wife's permission, I converted the original garage into a sunny room, which took me two weeks to complete. The succulent plants spent a warm winter comfortably in it this winter, with a survival rate of 100%.

In many rest afternoons, I will still lie in it and enjoy life with a cup of tea. All exposed at the end of March, showing different postures and different beauties! The Beginning of Summer has passed, and summer is coming, and at the behest of the landlady, they have been given medicine to prevent trouble. The sunshade net and exhaust fan of the sunshine room are ready, wait for more than 30 degrees to move them into the sunshade room, let them spend the summer safely.

IX. Stories of other flowers and plants

I used to have the habit of ordering weekly flowers to dress up my living room and bedroom. Later, when I felt that it was not cost-effective, I began to grow my own flowers, some potted plants, some planted on the ground, orchids, roses, carnations, camellias, etc., blooming all the year round.

Now, there is no experience for me to raise succulent plants. I only know that it is less than 5 degrees indoors, more than 30 degrees proper shading, and other times can be exposed all day, dry and watered thoroughly, to be ventilated, and consult the boss's wife if you encounter problems. Maybe plants are as spiritual as people, as long as they are sincere to them, they will give you something in return. So they all live beautifully for my wife, and the landlady keeps praising me, and I show off in my circle of friends from time to time.

My wife is not in the best shape yet, but she sees that my plants and succulent plants are very energetic. She will look at them every day, do functional exercises and physiotherapy, and then wait for me to come back from work. I believe she can understand my original intention and good intentions, one day, she will go back to the past like a strong flower. There is still me now, and there will be poetry and distance in the future. Succulent, I can't remember all your names, as long as you're alive. Dear wife, don't worry about anything, as long as you accompany. It is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation to be industrious and frugal, so I do everything I can do myself.

Let everyone know me, those are my supporting roles, car washers, painters, planners, cooks, barbers … Which one am I the most handsome? Speaking of barbers is still my trouble, because friends and each other haircut, are good at short hair, people who do not know me still think that short hair is a social person, but also hesitant to keep longer, but I think we can not judge people by their appearance, meat friends, do you think ah!

Some of the photos in life

If life is a practice, then raising meat and learning Buddhism is the practice of the heart. I have converted to Buddhism, obey master s teachings, learn filial piety, be grateful, be kind to sentient beings, go further and further along the Bodhi road, and use my positive energy and love to light up the people around me Alas, it got out of hand. End this contribution with the two most precious photos. See you next time!
