What are the three types of "Fleshy Three Immortals"
A comprehensive analysis of the three types of "Fleshy Three Immortals" and the explanation of the care points for these plants, let's take a look together.
Fleshy plants are a favorite among many hobbyists because they look beautiful like flowers during the spring and autumn seasons when there is abundant sunlight and a large temperature difference. Some of them have an overwhelming beauty and a full Immortal aura, which many hobbyists love. Among them, there are three types of fleshy plants known as the "Fleshy Three Immortals." What are these three? Let's unveil the answer and uncover their mysterious veils.
1. Guanghan Palace
Guanghan Palace belongs to the Crassulaceae family, the Sedum genus, and is a large fleshy plant. Mentioning Guanghan Palace often brings to mind the Moon Goddess Chang'e, whose residence is also called Guanghan Palace, a place full of Immortal aura, giving a sense of loneliness and mystery. Moreover, Guanghan Palace, along with Evening Glow and Blue Light, are collectively known as the "Three Thin-Leaved Immortals" among fleshy plants.
Temperature and Sunlight: Guanghan Palace is as cold-resistant as its name suggests, and it is also drought-resistant and heat-resistant. The winter temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees, otherwise, it may freeze.
Although Guanghan Palace gives off a cold feeling in its name, it is actually a plant that loves sunlight. If there is insufficient sunlight, it will appear in a spinach green color. However, in an environment with abundant sunlight, the leaves will turn purple-blue and the edges will become a beautiful pink, giving a full Immortal aura.
However, in the high summer temperatures, it is also necessary to provide some shade, otherwise, the strong sunlight may cause sunburn on the leaves. Therefore, it can be kept in a cool and well-ventilated environment.
Watering and Fertilizing: Guanghan Palace is relatively drought-resistant, so watering can be done after most of the soil has dried out. Accumulation of water in the pot should be avoided. During the vigorous growth periods of spring and autumn, we can apply a dilute liquid fertilizer, such as Huaduo No.2, every 20-30 days, without over-applying nitrogen fertilizer, to make Guanghan Palace look even more beautiful than a fairy!

2. Evening Glow
Mentioning Evening Glow brings to mind the red glow of the sunset, and the Evening Glow fleshy plant is as red and lovely as the sunset, like a colorful silk brocade of the Seven Fairies, and as full of Immortal aura as the Seven Fairies themselves. How can we keep Evening Glow so beautiful?
Sunlight: Evening Glow enjoys a sunny environment, especially during the spring and autumn seasons. We can keep Evening Glow in a sunny environment, and with the large temperature difference during these seasons, Evening Glow will turn a reddish color that is very attractive. In the summer, when the sunlight is too strong and Evening Glow is in its dormant period, it should be kept in a cool and well-ventilated place to prevent sunburn on the leaves.
Watering: When watering Evening Glow, we should wait for the soil to dry out a bit before watering, and avoid积水 in the pot. During the rainy season, it should not be exposed to rain to prevent root and heart rot. To keep Evening Glow in good condition, the pot should not be too large, and the soil should have good drainage.
Fertilizing: To make Evening Glow even more beautiful during the spring and autumn seasons, we can apply a dilute, decomposed cake fertilizer or Huaduo No.2 every 20-30 days during the vigorous growth period, which will make Evening Glow look even more beautiful than a celestial being.
3. Blue Light
Blue Light inherits the gene from Guanghan Palace, so it has the same purple-blue beauty as Guanghan Palace's leaves, looking like a beautiful fairy full of Immortal aura. Blue Light also belongs to the Crassulaceae family, the Sedum genus, and its cultivation method is similar to that of Guanghan Palace. How can we keep Blue Light beautiful?
Soil: Blue Light, like Guanghan Palace and Evening Glow, is a large fleshy plant with thin leaves, known as the "Thin-Leaved Three Immortals," or the "Fleshy Three Immortals" as we commonly say. Blue Light prefers soil with good drainage and breathability. To help it grow better, we can use a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, peat soil, and sand, and add some particles to make the particle-to-soil ratio around 6:4, as too little soil is not conducive to the growth of Blue Light's roots.
