This succulent looks like a lotus flower. Do these four points well, and it can safely survive the summer and even "explode" in the pot.
There is a succulent plant that looks like a lotus throne, with green leaves neatly surrounding in a circle, and it often bursts out many small offshoots. Do you know what it is? Many people have guessed it; it is "Guanyinlian." Guanyinlian can be said to be the succulent that looks least like a succulent, but its plant shape is very beautiful, so many people like it.
Although it is a succulent, caring for Guanyinlian is not that easy. It is prone to leggy growth and root rot. Once the growing environment is not suitable, the plant will not grow well. Moreover, it is afraid of cold, heat, and waterlogging, which can be considered a very delicate succulent. So, how can we care for it well? In fact, as long as the maintenance in spring and autumn is done well, there won't be any major issues. Let's learn together.
1. Choose a Suitable Environment
When caring for Guanyinlian, it is essential to first choose an environment suitable for its growth, especially in spring and autumn, to accelerate growth during the most vigorous period. Therefore, it should be placed in a location with plenty of scattered light and ensure good ventilation, so that the base can continuously produce small offshoots. These buds can either be left to strengthen the plant or used for later propagation.
2. Choose the Right Substrate
To grow a robust Guanyinlian, it is necessary to prepare a loose, breathable, and nutrient-rich substrate for it. It is best to change the soil once a year in spring and autumn, replacing the old soil with the most suitable new soil for growth, to ensure normal growth throughout the year. Generally, a mixture of peat soil, perlite, and river sand can be used, and some organic fertilizer can be added. Such soil allows the plant to grow more vigorously.

3. How to Water Properly
The most critical aspect of caring for Guanyinlian is watering, as it is easy to encounter problems due to improper watering. It is best to water when the soil is half-dry, and avoid touching the leaves during watering, or else it will lead to root and heart rot. Watering should ensure thorough soaking, making sure there are no accumulated water residues, otherwise, the leaves will become waterlogged and roots will rot.
4. How to Care for During Dormancy
The most vigorous growth period for Guanyinlian is in spring and autumn, so summer and winter are the dormant periods for the plant. Although it does not require careful care during this time, it is still necessary to meet the basic growth needs. In summer, keep the plant in a shaded and well-ventilated area, and control water and fertilizer; in winter, keep the plant warm and supplement lighting, and also control water and fertilizer. This way, the plant can successfully survive the challenging seasons and continue to grow rapidly in spring and autumn.
In summary, the key to caring for Guanyinlian is the maintenance in spring and autumn. Ensuring proper lighting and water and fertilizer will make the plant grow particularly lush. Did you remember this?
