Succulents are small enough to be grown in cute pots, and their leaves and stems are so watery that no one can refuse. There are many varieties of succulent, just the common ** on the market can reach hundreds, it is like a person, different varieties have different Xi. The following is to introduce these 3 kinds of succulents are particularly "squeamish", the leaves will rot when they are wet, and they must not be sprayed with water or rain when they are usually maintained.
Bear Boy.
As an angiosperm succulent of the genus Silverberry, the bear boy comes from the Namibian region of Africa, which is very valuable background information. Its leaves resemble the paws of a bear, the surface is covered with white hair, and there are a few small red dots at the tips of the leaves, like the nails of the bear's paws.
The surface of the leaves is naturally covered with white hairs, which can protect the leaves. However, after the bear boy is sprayed with water, a large amount of water will remain on the leaves, causing the leaves to rot.
Jin Huang Xing
Jin Huangxing, also known as cat ears, is a very common succulent variety, and it is usually possible to buy a pot of seedlings for a few yuan in the flower market. Don't look at it ** low, in fact, the appearance is still very high, especially after raising it for 2 or 3 years, after growing into an old pile, the appearance is not inferior to any well-known variety.
There are not many leaves on the stars, and each leaf naturally grows short fluff. Most of the time the leaves are emerald green, and in spring and autumn, the edges will gradually turn red, and the red and green will overlap each other, which is particularly beautiful. Due to the fluffy surface of the leaves, if it sprays water, it is easy to cause leaf rot.
Velvet needles
The velvet needle, also known as the silver arrow, is a succulent plant of the genus Sedum in the family Sedum. Its leaves are covered with grayish-white hairs, and the surface of the leaves appears green, which gradually turns into colors such as red or purple when exposed to sunlight, so it is often called "chameleon". This change has made the velvet needle one of the most popular varieties among succulents. Just by listening to the name, we know that the surface of the velvet needle must contain a lot of fluff, and if it is sprayed with water or rain, the leaves can easily rot.
Conservation points
These succulent varieties with fluff tend to be treated with special attention in terms of watering when maintaining:
Pay attention to watering
Succulents with fluffy hairs typically grow in dry, hot environments. The reason why they are covered with fluff on the leaves is to protect the leaves from drying up and dehydrating due to rapid water transpiration, which can greatly improve the drought tolerance of the plant.
Therefore, succulents with fluff tend to be more drought-tolerant and do not like too wet soil environments. When we usually water, we must wait for the pot to dry before watering. When you see that the soil surface of the pot is white and dry, pick up the pot and weigh it, and only after the weight becomes very light is it dry before you can water.
