Is "Duo Rou Dan Xue" the same as "Phantom Princess"?
A brief experience sharing, introducing whether "Duo Rou Dan Xue" and "Phantom Princess" are the same and the characteristics of "Duo Rou Dan Xue" in green plant care. Details are as follows:
“Dan Xue” is a classic old variety of Sedum, and one of the earliest succulent varieties to enter the Chinese market. It was once considered a high-value succulent because its propagation is extremely simple, with a short growth cycle. Within a few years in the market, it has been phased out due to its rapid growth, making it naturally cheaper in price.
The faster the growth rate of the succulent variety, the quicker the price drops, and it may even be phased out by the market. Moreover, we can propagate it at home through leaf insertion. In a suitable environment, it can produce dozens of pots within two years, and a single leaf can grow into a large plant. When kept outdoors for two years, it can grow into a small mother plant.
Dan Xue is very tough and can be kept outdoors all year round in the southern regions south of the Yangtze River without any manual management, relying solely on natural conditions to fill the pot with plants, growing at a very fast rate. The fallen leaves can grow into new individuals in a short time, and just a few leaves can fill a large pot.
An open-air environment is very suitable for the growth of succulents, especially for those tough varieties that can grow wildly with just rainwater, having a strong vitality and unique appearance. After reaching a certain state, the leaves can turn orange-red, which is very beautiful. However, this state is temporary and only occurs in autumn; in other seasons, the leaves remain green.

Nowadays, the name of "Dan Xue" in the market has been changed by merchants to "Phantom Princess," and with the name change, the price has also changed. What used to be a variety phased out by the market, sold for 5 yuan for a large mother plant, now costs 10 yuan after the price change.
In the succulent community, when many varieties face being phased out by the market, merchants will rename them and then sell them again in the market at a higher price. Since there are many varieties of succulents, and many of them look very similar, newcomers to succulent care are often unfamiliar and tend to purchase them.
Whether it's 5 yuan or 10 yuan, in any case, the variety of Dan Xue is still worth caring for, especially in outdoor open spaces, on balconies, courtyards, or even in民宿. Planting it in a pot and placing it in an open environment requires almost no watering, and it doesn't need to be shaded in summer. With exposure to wind, sun, and rain, it naturally reaches the point of overflowing the pot.
The advantages of Dan Xue are higher than other succulents. Moreover, as Dan Xue is an upright-growing succulent, it can grow into a cliff-like old stake within two years, hanging in the air or on a second floor, allowing its branches to naturally hang down, creating a very beautiful effect when the pot is full.
The above is the specific content of whether "Duo Rou Dan Xue" is the same as "Phantom Princess" and the detailed characteristics of "Duo Rou Dan Xue," for everyone's reference and operation.
