The stories of Neon Aeonium
Today's experience sharing: An introduction to the knowledge of Neon Aeonium, the stories of Neon Aeonium. Next, the editor will introduce it to netizens.
When Neon Aeonium is craze, a small seedling can cost several hundred, and those with variegation can reach a thousand, making many flower friends follow suit. This article is a hobbyist's story of his experience with Neon Aeonium, and his insights and understanding are very valuable for other flower friends.
The author, like everyone else, is crazy about Neon Aeonium. He visited more than 12 greenhouses and flower friends' homes in more than 10 days, just to find a satisfactory Neon Aeonium. He also bid crazily on Yahoo in Nara, collecting everywhere. At most, he had more than 20 big and small ones, enough to fill a table without variegation. Later, as the variety in his hands increased and passion faded, he mostly transferred the Neon Aeonium to friends or exchanged them for his favorite varieties. Now, only a few good-quality ones are left in his hands, and he grows seeds from them every year. Although this is the case, his love for this variety does not decrease over time. He always looks at it for a long time and takes photos for a long time. Here are some personal opinions on this variety. If there are any biases, corrections and exchanges are welcome.
1. Neon Aeonium is a very classic variety of Aeonium. Many new varieties have appeared later, and their prices have far exceeded it, but in terms of aesthetics, they are quite inferior. (Maybe my aesthetics are flawed).
2. The surge in prices has led to a craze of cutting propagation in the country. I have seen many Neon Aeoniums (looking at the实物, not the photos) all over the country. High-quality ones (with good variegation, good variety, and good condition) are rarely seen, and they are all cut, which is a bit regrettable.
3. Many flower friends want their own Neon Aeonium, but now some professional growers sell seedlings as small as toothpicks, which have poor resistance, slow growth, and great uncertainty in the direction of variegation. I personally suggest that breeders try to grow them bigger before selling them (which goes against market rules), and flower friends should also choose bigger ones with more obvious variegation to buy (it's better to spend more money than to be cheap).
4. The appearance and variety of Neon Aeonium on the market are uneven. Some seedling varieties are also sold as Neon Aeonium. Therefore, if possible, when purchasing, try to ask to see the mother plant, or simply find reputable players to buy.
5. The true leaves of Neon Aeonium are produced after the plant matures, and they are very different from the milky leaves. True leaves are thick and smooth, almost hairless, and their transparency is also a level higher. It is recommended that holders do not rush to cut the top and break leaves for propagation. The original intention of growing flowers is to make the flowers beautiful, not for propagation and recouping.
