Super cute Flesh-Purple plants, easy to care for, requiring all-granular cultivation, plenty of sunlight, and won't grow tall indoors.
Fleshy plants are currently very popular, and people of all ages enjoy cultivating them. As a novel variety emerging in the flower market, they have won the favor of many, with some flower enthusiasts becoming deeply addicted to them. Caring for fleshy plants is different from caring for flowers; it's more fun and allows one to experience the joy of fertilizing, watering, and planting with soil.
Fleshy plants come in a wide variety, forming a vast family that includes many genera and millions of species. Nowadays, the market for fleshy plants is relatively saturated, and their prices are not as high as they used to be. It's possible to buy a dozen common varieties for just a few tens of yuan, making them affordable and popular.
The Flesh-Purple plant, also known as "Living Stone," is a type of fleshy plant native to South Africa. Introduced to China, it has become very popular among flower enthusiasts. In previous years, Living Stones were quite expensive, with a single plant selling for twenty to thirty yuan. Now, their prices have plummeted, making them affordable for everyone.
The Living Stone lives up to its name, resembling a stone with no main stem, branches, or leaves. Despite looking like a stone, its unique charm attracts many to cultivate it. Some varieties of Living Stones are even quite expensive. The care for Living Stones is simpler than that for succulents in the Crassulaceae family. With a bit of care experience, it's hard to kill them.
Methods and Precautions for Cultivating Flesh-Purple Plants with Fat Bottoms
When growing Living Stones at home, one often faces the issue of etiolation, which is irreversible and cannot be corrected in a short time. Once etiolated, Living Stones lose their horticultural value, with their original 3cm height potentially growing to 5cm, severely losing their aesthetic appeal.
To grow Living Stones, we only need to use a soil with all granules and ensure they receive ample sunlight. Watering once a month will prevent etiolation. Even with weak sunlight, using a granular matrix for cultivation will make etiolation rare.
The leaves of Living Stones naturally contain plenty of moisture, so watering once a month is sufficient. Some enthusiasts don't even water them during the summer, and they still survive, which is a special characteristic of fleshy plants: drought-resistant and won't die from lack of water. Watering once a month is enough for Living Stones.
