What are some non-flowering plants
You may not know about non-flowering plants and the knowledge of green non-flowering plants, such as the inventory of seven kinds of non-flowering green plants. Next, the editor will introduce them.
Flowering plants have strict requirements for nutrients and light, and they are relatively difficult to maintain. Many people easily encounter problems when raising flowering plants, so they dare not raise them. If you find it difficult to raise flowering plants, Xiaoqi suggests that you raise seven kinds of non-flowering plants, which are drought-resistant and easy to care for, and become more valuable the longer you keep them.
1. Agave
Agave is a large category with many species of plants, and many of them have high value, such as the known Sasano Snow variety. The whole plant has a lotus seat shape, and it looks better the bigger it grows. Xiaoqi has been raising one for many years, and now the diameter has reached 30 centimeters, which is very beautiful. At that time, a seedling of 15 centimeters cost nearly 200 yuan, so we can buy a small seedling to raise at home. As long as there is sufficient light, use soil with more than half of the granules, do not use deep pots, and water it thoroughly when the potting soil is dry. It can grow normally in our home, growing bigger year by year, very easy to care for, and the older it gets, the more valuable it becomes, with no problem raising it for decades.
2. Euphorbia
Euphorbia is a type of cactus that can grow to a very large diameter, and the giant cactus known as the Strongthorn Cactus can also grow large, but it becomes columnar when it grows up, so Euphorbia is the only large cactus that can grow round. It can reach half a meter in diameter and can be raised at home. The small ones are not valuable, costing only a few yuan, but after decades, when the diameter reaches half a meter, its value becomes very high. It is also very easy to care for, using soil with 50 to 70% granules, a short pot, preferably a ceramic pot, and watering the potting soil only when it is completely dry. If the cactus is large enough, you can water it once every two months, but you must ensure sufficient light and a temperature not lower than five degrees. If the diameter reaches more than 20 centimeters at home, it can even bloom, which is also very beautiful.
3. Dracaena Fragrans
Dracaena fragrans is familiar to everyone, with leaves that stay green all year round, making it a good ornamental foliage plant. There is a variety called Dracaena Fragrans 'Dragon Scales' that, during the whole growth process, the main stem gradually becomes visible, and the stem looks like dragon scales, with the root system also resembling a bonsai, making it highly ornamental. Now, a larger seedling of Dracaena Fragrans 'Dragon Scales' costs several hundred yuan. We can buy a small seedling, cultivate it at home, and turn it into an old stem over the years, not only with high ornamental value but also valuable if sold. The key is that its maintenance is simple, drought-resistant, and ensuring the use of well-draining soil, not using too large pots, and watering the potting soil when it is dry. Since it has very thick roots and not many fine roots, it can grow normally in the sunlight, ensuring the temperature is not low.

4. Portulaca
What we see in the flower market are usually small pots of Portulaca, but Portulaca can also have thick trunks, with a very beautiful overall shape, like a bonsai, making it very valuable. It is also an easy plant to care for, only slowing down in growth when the temperature is below ten degrees and completely dormant below five degrees. It can also grow normally in high summer temperatures because it belongs to the Portulaca family. Therefore, we can raise several pots of Portulaca at home, starting with small seedlings, controlling the shape through reasonable pruning, thickening the trunk to make it look like a bonsai, and raising it for decades or even a century. Imagine what it would be like when you sell it.
5. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera should be familiar to everyone, as it is relatively inexpensive and easy to care for, and is commonly raised in homes. However, most people only raise small seedlings and are afraid to water them, resulting in little growth. Aloe vera can grow into a large old stem. Our common Aloe vera can be grown into an aloe tree, and the common Curacao aloe can also have a very large crown. The older the aloe, the larger the crown and the more valuable it is. So we can raise a pot and remember to place it in the sunlight at home, ensuring the temperature is not below ten degrees, watering the potting soil when it is dry, and using well-draining nutrient-rich soil to ensure sufficient water and fertilizer for fast growth. After a long period of care, it can become a large old stem with high collection value. Moreover, the leaves can be cut and applied to areas bitten by insects at home, effectively stopping itching, and some aloe vera can even have beauty effects.
6. Snake Plant
Snake plant is also a very common plant in homes, with the small pots being very inexpensive. If it grows large and fills the pot completely with thick, glossy leaves, the pot becomes very valuable. Like Xiaoqi's pot, many flower friends want to buy it at a high price because of the good condition in which Xiaoqi has raised it. So we can raise several pots of Snake Plant at home, either with golden edges or other varieties, as long as the soil has more than half granules for good drainage, possibly adding river sand, and using a beautiful short ceramic pot to plant, then placing it in the sunlight with a temperature not below ten degrees, watering the potting soil when it is dry. It can grow fast at home without rotting roots or leaves. Fertilize once or twice a month with a balanced nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. After a year or two, it can completely fill the pot, and the larger the pot, the fuller and more valuable and ornamental it becomes.
