How to cultivate a gem flower to make it grow well?
About the experience of how to cultivate gem flowers to grow well and the green plant maintenance that makes me feel inferior, such as my mother's gardening skills on the roof, the editor will introduce them next.
Over the years, the streets have been filled with vendors' cries of selling potted plants, especially succulents, which are the most common type of greenery. It is believed that every flower grower likes succulents because they look plumper and more vibrant than ordinary plants. As long as you take good care of them, they can bloom the most beautiful flowers. Most young people prefer succulents, but it's not an easy task to grow them well.
Compared to city dwellers who can only grow succulents on their desks or balconies, rural people have more advantages for planting flowers and grass. They have a lot of space to plant flowers and grass in large quantities. Like my mom, she is a flower lover, not quite a florist, but half a veteran flower friend. Her flower cultivation skills are very advanced, and she can make even the most difficult flowers thrive. One thing that makes me feel inferior is that my mother, a florist, grows flowers on the roof. She planted several bottles of gem flowers, and they grew half a meter high in a year!
You can see that these large flowers my mom has cultivated are gem flowers. The scientific name of gem flowers is Echeveria. Echeveria is a perennial herb that usually grows on the edges of stones or in crevices in rural areas. Its leaves look very graceful, like gems, so they are commonly known as gem flowers.
This plant looks cute when it is small, and when it is fully grown, it resembles a lotus seat, extremely delicate and beautiful. Therefore, many flower friends love it. However, for Echeveria to grow large, it requires some skills. My mom has done a great job with them, which shows she has a certain level of expertise. I specifically asked her about her flower cultivation techniques.
1. Mom immediately told me that this type of Echeveria, although a very adaptable plant that can grow well in any soil, prefers a warm, dry, and well-ventilated environment to thrive. It is important to pay attention to conditions such as temperature and ventilation. In spring and autumn, remember to turn the soil to improve its aeration.

2. Generally, if you want to make Echeveria bloom quickly, you can choose to cut branches for propagation, allowing it to multiply more. First, choose suitable branches, cut them down, and place them on the soil, preferably in a scattered light and well-ventilated area, to let them root and sprout. This way, more Echeveria can be grown, speeding up the blooming process.
3. In summer, avoid exposing gem flowers to high temperatures and direct sunlight. Although they are also drought-resistant, do not water too much, as it can cause root rot. Fertilizing usually involves using a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. When fertilizing, be careful not to splash fertilizer on the leaves, as it can easily cause rot. After fertilizing, water thoroughly the next morning to dilute the fertilizer in the soil, as excessive fertilizer is also not good.
About the cultivation of gem flowers, that's about it. If you follow these instructions, I believe it will be extremely easy to grow gem flowers half a meter high. How tall are the gem flowers you have grown? Can you share pictures?
