What are the common Sedum plants
Main content introduction: This article introduces common Sedum plants and shares experience in caring for five beautiful Sedum succulents. Let's learn about them together.
In nature, there are countless types of plants with various shapes and each category has its own characteristics. When choosing potted plants, we often select according to the type of plant. However, there is one type of plant that follows a mixed route. You may not be able to name it specifically, but it is very familiar. It is the currently popular - succulents.
Succulents have a wide range of shapes and colors. They can be cute, domineering, bright green, pink glossy, or even black and purple eye-catching. Many unique colors can be found in succulents, and many distinctive shapes can be displayed by succulents, which is the charm of succulents.
We seem to have a special fondness for succulents. Even if you don't study potted plants, you might feel tempted to buy a cute, lively succulent when you see one in the market.
In fact, succulents are just a general name for this type of potted plants, and they also have their own categories. The most representative ones are Sedum. Basically, the most popular succulents come from Sedum. The succulents of Sedum have very distinct characteristics. Generally speaking, they have relatively short stems, thick and fleshy leaves, and strong reproductive ability. Most importantly, succulents of Sedum have advantages in ornamental value and ease of planting, making them very suitable for beginners or friends with limited time and energy.
So today we have found several representative Sedum succulents for you. Let's take a look and see if there is one you like!
First: Hongzhiyu
Its name is its color, and its name is also its shape. The "Hong" in Hongzhiyu is not the red in red, but the rainbow. Therefore, Hongzhiyu does not have a single color. It can be dazzlingly red or bright yellow-green. Hongzhiyu will show different colors depending on the lighting, which adds fun to the care process.
Moreover, Hongzhiyu is a hybrid variety. Perhaps some plants can be found in the wild, but Hongzhiyu can only be purchased in the market. Therefore, Hongzhiyu makes it easier for plant lovers to care for and master. We can place Hongzhiyu in a sunny south-facing阳台, and with the supplement of light, Hongzhiyu will show a bright red color, which is very eye-catching. This feature of becoming redder with more sunlight saves us a lot of trouble, as we don't have to worry about it getting sunburned or neglecting it when we are busy. Hongzhiyu is like a sensible girl, basking in the brightest sunlight to create the most beautiful appearance.
Second: Qianchuan
The name sounds very auspicious. Qianchuan is a very typical type of succulent. Its shape is vivid, just like a string of copper coins hanging heavy and swaying. Qianchuan is very small and can be placed on a desk or a tea table in the living room without taking up much space, but it will add vitality and joie de vivre.
Actually, Qianchuan is also a large category of plants with many subcategories. However, due to their similar shapes, people also call other similar succulents Qianchuan.
The most common type of Qianchuan is Wuyi Nü, which has a more obvious arc shape and is very full. There is also a succulent that is familiar to the public called Xiaoxing. Compared to the common Qianchuan, it is smaller in size, and the leaves are triangular, making it easy to recognize. Those who study Qianchuan will also list other types such as Xing Nü, Xing Wangzi, Shizixing, and Shizixing Jin. In fact, no matter which one it is, they all have the basic appearance of Qianchuan succulents, only with some differences in details. We can choose according to our preferences without worrying too much about the names.
Third: Huayueye
Succulents are actually very good at imitation. They can not only make people feel good like Qianchuan but also transform into Guanyin's lotus seat, connecting people closely with Buddhism. Huayueye is such a connection. The shape of Huayueye resembles a lotus blossom, with a green body and a pink periphery, making it indistinguishable from a lotus in both shape and the magical color combination.
Moreover, Huayueye can bloom, growing a long stem from the center of the "lotus" leaves, from which yellow bell-shaped flowers burst forth. From a distance, it looks like a wisp of thin smoke is missing, otherwise, it would be mistaken for entering a fairyland.
Fourth: Kousa no Oto
Kousa no Oto is more elegant compared to the previous succulents. It is native to Mexico and was first cultivated in Japan. The name Kousa no Oto itself has a Japanese pronunciation. "Kousa" is actually a Japanese song that is specifically sung at weddings, expressing blessings for couples to have a long and happy marriage. The Kousa no Oto we see today has a very dance-like posture, with large wavy leaves that seem to sway at any moment, performing a moving "Kousa" song for us.
In daily care, Kousa no Oto is similar to Hongzhiyu, both changing colors with different lighting. Combined with its unrestrained shape, it is full of a unique charm.
Fifth: Heishafashi
It seems that the succulents we are discussing are gradually "darkening." From the innocent child to the experienced and enigmatic wanderer. Heishafashi is the transition from child to wanderer. It no longer has the fleshy leaves or fresh colors, but a purplish-black face and a vibrant leaf flower shape. It seems to be showing us that although it has gone through hardships, it still smiles at the world.
It can be said that Heishafashi is a unique one in the succulent world and an "odd species" in Sedum. However, it is undeniable that Heishafashi still flows with the sunshine and vitality of succulents. People can't help but feel affection for succulents, which is the unique charm of succulents. For Heishafashi, this charm has not been "abolished," but rather displayed in a very "advanced" way. When you see Heishafashi, you might not softly say, "Let me take you home," but instead, you will look at it firmly, wanting to take care of it and see what kind of tenacity lies beneath its stubborn appearance.
Perhaps there are many other Sedum succulents worth commenting on in your eyes. In fact, every type has its own characteristics. If you like it, it is the most beautiful!
