Monilaria
This article provides an in-depth introduction to the knowledge of succulent plants for concerned netizens. Monilaria, which can definitely bring you help, let's learn about it together!
Monilaria, a very beautiful plant that resembles rabbit ears, is very popular among girls. However, many enthusiasts do not understand Monilaria's growing habits, often buying and then discarding it. Although I haven't been raising Monilaria for a very long time, I feel it's quite easy to care for. I will share my own experience with everyone for reference. Let's continue with pictures to illustrate, here is a picture of Monilaria during dormancy:
Monilaria in dormancy looks like this. As spring approaches and the temperature reaches 5 degrees Celsius, they will slowly awaken. At this time, you can water thoroughly. Monilaria is not afraid of water, as long as the soil is well-ventilated and watered when dry, it will be fine. Monilaria has a well-developed root system, so I suggest using a deeper pot for growing. After watering, Monilaria will slowly reveal two adorable heads, which enthusiasts call rabbit ears, very creative. Here is a picture of the rabbits:
This is how they slowly grow. Monilaria needs a lot of water. If it gets too dry, the two heads will droop, but they will recover after watering. This is not something to worry about. March is a good season for their growth, and they grow very fast, as evidenced by the pictures:
During the peak growing season, avoid strong direct sunlight, as Monilaria is sensitive to temperature. If the temperature is too high, it will slowly turn yellow and look like it is going into dormancy. Pay attention to half-day sunlight. If the temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius, the entire plant will slowly wither and enter dormancy. Monilaria does not need water during dormancy. At this time, do not mistake them for being dead. The plants will shrink to the size of a soybean and look withered. Placing them in a ventilated and shaded area can help them survive the summer. By the end of September, when the temperature drops, they can resume growth. Monilaria can be watered generously, avoiding strong sunlight. I hope that new enthusiasts take note: they only go into dormancy at 0 degrees, and stop watering until the temperature rises. Unfortunately, I have never seen Monilaria bloom. I think it should bloom, and I will share the pictures with enthusiasts when I have them.
Below are pictures of Monilaria turning yellow and withering due to high temperatures, caused by direct sunlight. Since it's not yet summer and I don't want them to go into dormancy too early, I have moved them to a position with scattered light to continue caring for them.
