What flowers are suitable for raising in a low-maintenance manner?
Do you know about these? Here is an introduction to five kinds of flowers that are suitable for low-maintenance and require minimal effort to grow, along with some knowledge about raising flowers:
Some flowers are suitable for raising with abundance, such as orchids, while others are suitable for low-maintenance, such as Jade Tree! So-called low-maintenance means raising them with less care, using less water and soil, in small pots, and they can grow very well without much attention!
1. Jade Tree is suitable for low-maintenance
Jade Tree is one of the most common types of succulents, found in both rural and urban areas, almost every household has one. If you pay attention, you'll notice that the pots used to grow Jade Trees are generally small, and many are even raised in broken ceramic pots for decades!
Why does Jade Tree need to be grown in such a small pot?
Because its root system is shallow, consisting of fibrous roots and fine roots, it prefers a dry and well-ventilated environment and is afraid of waterlogging and root rot. If the pot is too large, the soil will be very wet after each watering, and it's hard to quickly drain the excess water, thus increasing the chance of root rot.
On the other hand, using a small pot for growing, even under outdoor conditions, it doesn't fear a few rainfalls, and watering can be more relaxed. Good ventilation prevents root rot!

2. Lucky Money Tree is suitable for low-maintenance
Although the Lucky Money Tree is not easy to raise, it is definitely a plant suitable for lazy people because it is extremely drought-tolerant. Its stem stores a lot of water, which can supply the plant's growth. However, its shallow and short roots are not suitable for growing in too moist soil, so we need to raise it in a dry manner.
As long as the soil of the Lucky Money Tree is slightly damp, there is no need to water it. Frequent watering can easily lead to root rot. As the saying goes, "Keep the leaves moist and the roots dry," to raise the roots, we must control the watering. It's not too late to water when the leaves droop and the stem has wrinkles.
3. Money Tree is suitable for low-maintenance
The Money Tree often has the problem of yellowing leaves, which is usually caused by too much water. Because its leaves and stems are thick and store a lot of water, it is very drought-tolerant. Its root system is also shallow and not tolerant of waterlogging, so raising a Money Tree requires a bias towards dry maintenance. Not watering for ten days to half a month is fine, and frequent watering will inevitably cause yellow leaves and root rot.
