Let me tell you about 7 "undying flowers" that are drought-resistant, easy to care for, and suitable for beginners in green plant care. Let's get to know them together.
These 7 "eternal flowers" are drought-resistant and easy to grow, suitable for beginners to grow at home. They can not only beautify the living space, optimize the air environment, but also make people feel comfortable and relaxed. Therefore, more and more people now enjoy growing flowers. However, many friends are just starting to learn how to care for flowers. Since they lack experience in flower care, they often fail to keep their flowers alive. In fact, when you first start learning about flowers, it's recommended not to choose flowers that require very specific growing conditions. Try growing some drought-resistant, non-marginal, and easier-to-grow plants first, and as you gradually accumulate experience, you can move on to planting the flowers you like. Here are some so-called "eternal flowers" that are really easy to care for, but some friends can't seem to grow them.
Rooting
It is a succulent plant. Its leaves are thick and juicy. On the edge of the leaves, there will be two rows of neat and beautiful adventitious buds, resembling a group of small butterflies ready to take flight. Placing it on a windowsill or as a decoration in a study is very elegant.
This ornamental plant has a particularly strong reproductive ability. Many adventitious buds on its leaves will take root when they fall to the ground and grow into new plants. If you grow one pot at home, you can even propagate hundreds of them in a year. If you plant them in the ground to propagate, it's easy to flood.
Mountain Tortoise
Mountain Tortoise is both a Chinese medicinal herb and a good ornamental plant. Its rhizome resembles a tortoise, its vines are delicate and beautiful, and its leaves are small and deep green. Placed indoors, it looks graceful and has a good air purification effect.
Mountain Tortoise is easy to care for. Its large roots store a lot of water and nutrients. As long as it is planted in a pot and the soil is kept slightly moist in a warm environment, it will quickly grow new branches and leaves, which are also very ornamental.
Copper Coin Grass
Many people may be familiar with it. This plant prefers a warm and humid environment. Wild copper coin grass can also be seen in rivers and ditches. Its vitality is tenacious, and it can grow anywhere. The plant is also very prone to flooding.
But when potted, the green leaves of copper coin grass look fresh and natural, making it a good ornamental plant suitable for display in studies, offices, windowsills, and balconies. To care for copper coin grass, it needs to be kept sufficiently watered, allowing it to receive more sunlight so that its leaves can grow larger, fuller, and more glossy.
Sunflower
Sunflowers are also known as the immortal flower. It is a very hardy flower that is both drought-resistant and thin-soil-tolerant. It can survive anywhere it touches soil, and it blooms beautifully with a long blooming period.
Sunflowers do not have strict soil requirements. Ordinary garden soil mixed with a little leaf mold soil can thrive. Once the plant grows, it does not need to be watered frequently. It can be dry and wet. To make it bloom more, proper topping and pinching are needed, along with adding more fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium. Also, it should be cared for in a sunny place to keep it blooming.
Cactus
Cactus is a plant native to deserts. It has strong vitality and can grow normally in barren and dry places. It is also a good ornamental plant and can be used as a rootstock for grafting flowers like蟹爪莲 (Schizophragma hydrangeoides).
Cactus prefers loose and breathable sandy soil, is drought-resistant, and afraid of flooding. Accumulation of water is the worst during maintenance. Long-term wet and dry soil can easily cause root rot. Therefore, water should be minimized. Apply some decomposed sheep manure, soybean cake, and other organic fertilizers, while ensuring sufficient sunlight, and it can grow tall and even bloom and bear fruit every year.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera can be used for beauty, food, and ornamental purposes. It also has a very good purification effect. It can not only absorb various harmful gases such as formaldehyde and carbon dioxide but also release oxygen at night, which is very beneficial to human health. It is very suitable for home viewing.
Aloe vera is a succulent plant. Its stems and leaves store a lot of water and nutrients. It has strong drought resistance. You can give it some dilute multi-element compound fertilizer and place it in a sunny environment to grow flowers, and the plant will thrive.
Jade Tree
Jade Tree is a succulent flower that many flower enthusiasts like to grow. It is tolerant of poor soil, drought, and grows rapidly. The older it gets, the easier it is to bloom. Speaking of blooming, the tree covered in flowers looks like silver snow pressing on the branches, which is very spectacular.
For potted Jade Tree, water should be sparse and fertilization light, the soil should not be too dry before watering, to avoid soil becoming too wet and causing root rot. During the growing period, you can sprinkle some decomposed sesame cake fertilizer around the potting soil to supplement the plant with nutrients. Allowing it to grow more plants in the sun can promote rapid growth. It's also important to regularly prune messy, overgrown branches to make the plant look beautiful, concentrate nutrients, and make the main stem thicker, enhancing the ornamental effect.
The above 7 flowers are all very easy to plant. If you're not good at growing flowers, you might as well start with a few of these drought-resistant, thin-soil-tolerant plants, which can save a lot of trouble in management.
