Will the mountain rose die after flowering?
Abstract: This article introduces the mountain rose, a succulent plant, and answers the question of whether the mountain rose dies after flowering. The editor will explain in detail below.
The mountain rose is quite popular among flower enthusiasts, and because of this, many keep asking whether the mountain rose dies after flowering. If it does, they feel various degrees of heartache. It should be noted that the mountain rose will wither after flowering. Let's take a look at the entire process of the mountain rose flowering and withering, as documented by a flower enthusiast named Kite.
There are many varieties of mountain roses, and the information is not very complete. This genus has a particularly beautiful growth state, especially during dormancy, resembling a rose. Kite has fortunately obtained some varieties. Let's first talk about the variety called greenovia diplocycla ssp, also known as giant cypress. This variety has thick leaves and does not like to grow lateral buds. The flower color is yellow, making it a large variety among mountain roses.
Kite uses a mixture of coal slag and peat with perlite added as the growing medium, with a ratio focused on breathability, and the surface is covered with granular river sand. During the growing period, it is watered thoroughly after completely drying out, and water is completely cut off during the dormant period. The following picture is from last December. The temperature was already very low, with about 2 waterings per month. In winter, the plant requires very little water. It should be avoided to keep the plant moist, as the air is not circulating well, and the temperature is low. This variety can endure temperatures as low as -3 to -5 degrees Celsius. I haven't tried any lower temperatures; I just can't bear to do so.
In mid-February, the flower buds began to grow. Originally, I wanted to pinch off the flower buds to allow the plant to grow larger. But to my surprise, after pinching one flower bud, two more appeared on the side. Wow, it grows too well. I dare not break them off anymore. Flower spikes have also grown from the lower leaves. There's no way, let's just enjoy the flowers.
The gestation period of the flower buds is quite long, and it's a good thing to have flowers to look at. After this variety flowers, the mother plant will die. What a loss! It doesn't like to grow lateral buds and can't be pollinated (only one plant), so I feel a bit depressed.
The blooming of the flowers is still very beautiful. After flowering, it's almost time to dormant. The temperature is gradually rising, and the weather this year is too abnormal. It's hard to distinguish between spring and summer. Other varieties of mountain roses around are already drying out and closing their leaves, slowly entering the dormant period. The miracle of life is also one of the fascinating aspects of succulents. They only grow for a brief period each year, and the rest of the time is spent in dormancy. Whether growing or dormant, they present a very graceful figure. After flowering, withering and death follow.
