How to care for the succulent Baiyin Shou
Sharing some small experiences in plant cultivation on how to care for the succulent Baiyin Shou and a detailed explanation of its autumn maintenance methods. These are very useful tips, so it's recommended to save them for future reference!
Autumn is a period of rapid growth for succulents, making maintenance especially important during this time. Therefore, as autumn arrives, I always think of my friends' succulents, wanting to share more about their maintenance methods, really worrying about it!
Today, I want to share with you a type of succulent plant called Baiyin Shou. This plant is somewhat unique, not only because it is relatively short in stature but also because it grows horizontally instead of vertically. The leaves of Baiyin Shou are triangular, plump, and spread out horizontally in all directions. Moreover, most of Baiyin Shou's leaves have small white spots, making it look as if there are many fine silver渣 scattered on the leaves, perhaps that's how the name Baiyin Shou came about!
Baiyin Shou is considered a less common type of succulent, and not many friends cultivate it. Therefore, sometimes friends want to grow one but don't know where to start, worrying that they might damage it. However, caring for Baiyin Shou is not that difficult, and by mastering some small techniques, it can be easily maintained, so friends don't need to worry about this issue!
Baiyin Shou is considered a "lazy person's plant," especially suitable for those who love flowers and plants but always forget to water and fertilize them. One of my good friends once killed a Baiyin Shou, and he was very puzzled, thinking he had taken good care of it. Why did it wither? I admire this friend very much, as even if it's left alone, it would probably live longer than this!
I summed it up, and the main reasons for the death of Baiyin Shou are threefold: light, water, and soil.
How to care for the succulent Baiyin Shou
Many friends know that succulents love to bask in the sun and the more sun they get, the happier and more robust they grow. However, there is a nuance to sunbathing, as too much exposure can also cause significant damage to the succulents. Take the summer sun for example; even people can get sunburned after long exposure, let alone the delicate little succulents. So, I believe that the inability to keep Baiyin Shou alive might be due to being directly exposed to strong sunlight, and the friends did not notice it in time.
Improper watering can also cause Baiyin Shou to say goodbye to its friends! Like most succulents, Baiyin Shou is very drought-resistant, and excessive watering can easily lead to root rot, which can't be restored once it starts rotting. However, friends should not water too little either. Some friends, seeing the "helpless" little succulent, don't think to water it for a long time, which is also not allowed!
Soil is the most easily overlooked factor that can lead to the death of Baiyin Shou. The soil used to grow Baiyin Shou should be loose and breathable. If the soil hardens, it will affect the normal growth of Baiyin Shou. Perhaps friends water and fertilize appropriately, but under the condition of soil hardening, both watering and fertilizing will exacerbate hardening, putting more stress on Baiyin Shou's roots. Therefore, friends must remember to regularly loosen the soil, change the pot and soil for Baiyin Shou, and ensure the soil's breathability.
If friends can manage the three aspects mentioned above, Baiyin Shou will not have any major problems and can grow healthily!
