Picture and text: this girl is a little sweet.

It is very interesting to set up a succulent pot, and it is also a gardening link that many meat lovers are most fond of. It is satisfying to put your favorite succulent plant into a basin.

The collocation of succulent plants

Not a family, do not enter a door, the same is true of meat and meat. Although they are all succulent plants, they can be subdivided into winter type and summer type.

The optimum growth temperature of winter type species is 10 ℃-20 ℃, which is dormant when it is lower than 5 ℃ or higher than 30 ℃, and water is cut off during dormancy. Most of the common crassulaceae, Liliaceae and Amygdaceae belong to winter type. The optimum growth temperature of summer type species is above 15 ℃ °. Cactus and Euphorbiaceae belong to summer type species.

When considering the collocation of "meat", the same type of variety should be selected to facilitate maintenance. Because if the summer-type species in the best growing period and the winter-type species in the dormant period are raised in the same flowerpot, the dormant "meat" will drown if they are overwatered, and the summer-type species in the growing period may be dried to death if they are not watered. However, sometimes winter species and summer species are only relative concepts. Because many succulent plants will change their habits with the migration of the environment, but just to be on the safe side, don't let winter and summer live together.

The columnar "flesh" of the main scene should not be placed in the middle.

For the collocation of "meat", in addition to looking at the type, we should also pay attention to the collocation of form. Common succulent plants can be roughly divided into columnar and flower-shaped. The columnar shape is represented by plants of the genus Chlorophyllum, and the flower-shaped ones are familiar to everyone, such as Liriodendron, Phellodendron, Euphorbia, Euphorbia, and so on.

In fact, the formation of succulent pots is the same way as the idea of bonsai and flower arrangement. First of all, it is necessary to conceive a picture, so that there is a lot of high and low. Staggered ways can also be subdivided into the following:

If you only want to create a "one-sided scene", then you can create a scene on the side facing the line of sight; if you want to create a "four-sided scene", then you have to consider three-dimensional landscape.

Second, when making a scene, we can refer to the two different principles of high, medium, low and low. However, it should be noted that as the columnar meat of the main scene, it is best not to be placed in the middle of the flowerpot, but on the edge of the flowerpot to the left or to the right. Too symmetrical layout, for the "meat" bonsai, it is less interesting, the picture is too rigid and regular.

The collocation of "meat" of the same color should not be too concentrated.

In addition to paying attention to diversification in shape, color matching is also a knowledge in the basin, and color is more intuitive than form. And the color will change with the change of light. Therefore, when matching meat, we must also consider the coordination and contrast of colors.

Generally speaking, the main colors of succulent plants are yellow, red, purple, white, black and blue. In collocation, the depth of the color should be considered. It is best not to combine meat with the same color, but if gradual color is also very popular now.

In addition, as the main scene of the succulent, pay attention to his color should be more bright than the foil of succulent, in order to highlight his protagonist identity. If it is the same color succulent want to match together, it can not be too concentrated, and can be appropriate to add a little grass, such as easy to raise golden grass.

The collocation of succulent plants and containers

The choice of container is crucial to whether the succulent plant in the basin is good-looking and cute. However, the flower protection net is a special reminder that when choosing a container for "meat", you should not fully look at the appearance.

Because "meat" is actually very picky about containers. The common containers on the market are mainly plastic pots, red pottery pots, purple sand pots, Korean coarse pottery pots and white porcelain pots. Plastic pots have the highest performance-to-price ratio, red pottery pots, purple sand pots and Korean coarse pottery pots have better air permeability, these flowerpots can be used as pots for growing meat. Although the white porcelain basin is good-looking, its air permeability is too poor, and it is easy to rot the roots when used to grow meat, so it is best not to choose.

Flower-shaped meat should be used in a round basin.

The flower-shaped meat is all round and round, and it is the super cute meat in the hearts of many people. With its compact petal shape, jelly-like color and colorful meat tips, it is as charming as it is. This kind of adorable "meat", which is not worth its life, can be planted in a lovely round basin.

Clustered meat is suitable for wide mouth basin.

Clusters of succulent, as the name implies, like to gather in the "flesh". This type of "meat", planted with a leaf, can eventually grow into a "meat forest". Therefore, in the choice of container, the most important thing is to reserve enough space for it to reproduce. A big wide mouth basin is the best.

Hanging meat must use a high basin.

The hanging "meat" posture, like Petunia and Lulu, pays attention to the rocking posture, so it must be matched with a taller flowerpot, so that the meat can be hung on the basin wall, like hanging grapes, giving people a big appetite.

Columnar meat should be used as a retractor.

The legendary "Black Master" is a high-grade variety of succulent plants, and the price is relatively expensive. However, this kind of columnar "meat" has a bad place, that is, after it grows taller, the leaves below will wither. For this kind of "flesh", if you want to show its tall figure while hiding its dilapidation, remember to choose a closing pot with a medium height and a closed top, especially all kinds of old pile wizards, which are most suitable for such flowerpots.

Create a unique "meat" container

Where on earth did these individual flowerpots that are the envy of all meat friends come from? The individual flowerpot in the picture is DIY. For example, the broken rice cooker inner tank, with a bamboo frame, is a flowerpot with full personality; the air-dried gourd can also be used to grow succulent plants; and the stone that has been dug into a hole, planting "meat" is also very unique.

In addition to waste recycling, Song Xiaowei often goes to Taobao in the secondary market. "some building materials market has a lot of ceramic handicrafts, the shape is very unique, the price of the sale is very cheap, not only the air permeability is good, and the shape also has the feeling of industrial style. It's also a pleasure to make a unique home for them.

Blank design

The golden section line method is used. Plant the main succulent plants away from the center of the basin, and do not plant plants or small plants in the rest of the plant. Leave blank as a whole, and the visual focus will focus on the main succulent plants.

Quantity design

Generally speaking, the odd number of succulent plant pots will look better visually, such as one, three, five, seven, nine. This kind of distribution is not fixed, and some double-headed succulent plants look good when used directly.

Primary and secondary design

In the design of the basin, select a major succulent plant as the focus. Designed around this major succulent plant. This design can highlight the center and play the role of finishing touch. the selected succulent plants had better be larger than other plants in shape.

Scene design

Use some props to do some scenes. Commonly used props such as chinchilla, farm props and so on. Adding some props can make the whole scene more imaginative and have a sense of substitution.

In addition, a single succulent plant, such as the old pile. Because of its unique shape, even a single basin can present an amazing sense of beauty.

Maintenance of succulent plants

The editor warns that most succulent plants prefer sunny environments, and if the light is not enough, it will cause the plants to grow, causing the plants to elongate and become pointed at the top. In order to avoid the occurrence of this phenomenon, in addition to making it receive more light as far as possible, it can also be placed on several pots and put in turn. Do not water too much at ordinary times to prevent rotting roots caused by stagnant water in the soil, and even the whole plant will rot in serious cases. But also do not long-term drought, otherwise the plant wilting, lack of vitality, affecting the ornamental.

Novice meat friends do not fertilize easily, the growth rate is not too fast, it is better to maintain the perfect shape. For succulent plants that are mainly foliage, pay attention to timely removal of dry and rotten leaves. When the growth of the plant is too large, the pot can be changed timely when it affects the viewing effect. The method is to carefully remove the plant from the flowerpot, or change the larger flowerpot to rearrange and plant, pay attention to cutting off the rotten root system when planting, and plant with loose, breathable and well-drained soil.
