A moment of eternity

At noon in September 2017, there was suddenly a small booth at the door of the company, crouching around a group of people, and several of our friends leaned forward and got in. It was the first time I saw succulent plants. They are round and chubby, sitting in a flowerpot, next to a sign with pink peach eggs, red fire offerings, jelly-colored angel tears, and a second girl's heart. I was instantly dragged into an endless meat pit by these elves.

Looking at the tears of the cute little angel on my desk, I am so busy that I will happily calm down and finally realize why this extremely slow-growing plant belongs to the healing system-even if the whole world is speeding up. It will always be there quietly waiting for me, accompany me, give me beauty and tranquility.

You can't stop chopping your hands.

Succulent websites, forums and official accounts are my favorite places. After learning about the classification, habits and maintenance of succulent plants, I went to a treasure when I felt that my knowledge reserve could take care of more succulent meat. Ah, the indiscriminate spending is becoming more and more attractive, falling into a deep pit and never to return it again. Need to join the group, some treasure group, WeChat group. Where you can enjoy the boutique of meat friends everywhere, broaden your horizons, recommend can not stop. The exchange meeting with meat friends will learn more details, get personalized suggestions, and get more guidance from professional greenhouse owners, which will benefit me a lot!

Buy your beloved meat and be more confident that you can raise them well! Under the silent influence of meat friends moistening everything, meat, soil, pots, tools and even brush paints have been bought one by one, and the small balcony area of the home has been nibbled away by me.

A war without gunpowder smoke

Does it take a lifetime to fight?

What a painful journey it is to walk on a corpse. To cite a few examples. Once bought a group of rainbow jade in the flower market, fat like a handful of rubies, emitting an eye-catching brilliance in the sun. However, in summer, it gradually became thin and slender, coupled with my negligence in management, and finally one day, I brushed gently, and the few petite leaves fell like tears, leaving only a thin green pole to become a lost totem.

After asking the meat friends in the group and the owner of the greenhouse, we know that it is caused by stuffy roots in summer. Crassulaceae needs to control water in summer, and varieties with thick leaves should strictly control water, so as to strengthen ventilation so that the roots will not lose leaves. Water control is to prolong the watering cycle and make succulent plants adapt to the state of lack of water. After mastering these skills, I found that summer is the best time to chop my hands, because the ratio of performance to price is super high!

Seeing many raw stone flower columns on the website, I was gradually attracted by this cute thing unique to South Africa, which looks like both stone and PP. I bought two and tried to raise them. I was still a rookie at that time. I didn't know that these stones didn't like water. One day, as in the past, I touched their windows and wanted to feel the texture of the grains, but suddenly I found that the window of one of them had become soft and soft. I went to the group to ask, only to know that watering too often and always basking in the sun led to the melting of water! I hold this little gem growing on the earth in the palm of my hand, and months of painstaking efforts have been wasted.

Later, I learned in the online succulent plant summer class that the stone flower belongs to the category that does not like water very much. The water is cut off in summer and molting period, and the large stone flower does not need to be watered for three months to half a year. After mastering the habits of stone flowers, I bought a lot of stone flowers with high performance-to-price ratio and integrated a pot of colorful candy.

I am a lazy person, maybe the stone flowers and mountain roses that do not need to be taken care of are more suitable for me.

The flower language of mountain roses: roses that will never wither. Symbolizing eternity are not only diamonds, but also truly invincible mountain roses, pink coconuts, white jade eggs, light green wine glasses, yellow golden emerald balls.

The rose I bought for the first time was a pink coconut. For my beloved rose, I personally drew a flowerpot with dream dots. Mountain rose is a winter type and dormant in summer. The water in the north will be completely cut off around May, and after it slowly wraps up the leaves, it can be dug out of the soil, rooted and placed in an empty flowerpot or vase to enjoy it like dried flowers. Slowly, it consumes its own outer leaves, and time seems to freeze when the curled dead leaves wrap around the flowers.

Whenever I look at these beautiful and tenacious elves, I will be moved by them. In the battlefield of life, may we always be together.
