Succulents are popular because of their fat, succulent and varied colors!
In recent years, the flower market occupies a pivotal place, is the "pet" of many young people or retirees, simple care, and high value, decorate the balcony or window sill of the home, have a different flavor!
Of course, there are many succulent varieties, and many people may prefer plants that are not easy to live and are not prone to casualties in the early stage of planting, such as undead birds!
However, with the rise of succulents and more and more novel varieties on the market, the once popular succulent "immortal bird" has almost "disappeared" in today's flower market, do you know why?
In fact, according to personal experience and the words of the people around them, 3 key reasons have been summarized, which are the "culprits" that cause fewer and fewer people to spend money to buy!
(1) The value of the face is limited
Although the undead bird is the name of an animal, it is an animal name in ancient mythology, but as a plant, its appearance is not as magnificent as the legendary animal, naturally, when people have a better choice, they will unconsciously dislike it after seeing better and more beautiful succulents: ugly!
This is probably what people often say: there is harm in contrast, and everything can be done without contrast!
Therefore, succulents are not popular because their appearance is really not outstanding in the succulent group of "competing for beauty and strangeness".
In addition, succulents do not die birds because of the good feeding, so people in the process of care is always unconsciously relaxed requirements, and eventually the plant grows ugly, it is not as good as expected.
(2) The reproductive ability is too strong
Why is this obviously a plant, but it has been given the name of the immortal and immortal bird in ancient mythology?
The most fundamental reason is that the leaves of this succulent plant that fall onto the soil at will can take root and sprout, and eventually grow into a vigorous undead bird succulent.
Therefore, in the process of planting, we not only do not need to worry about "how to make it breed more succulents and expand the scale of planting", but also need to be vigilant at all times: "Raise it again, there is no empty land at home!" ”。
This feature has led to more and more people need to guard against "biological invasion" at all times during the period of breeding undead birds and succulents, so as not to affect the local ecological balance.
Generally, the planting of undead birds must choose pots, and in order to prevent the state of bursting pots at every turn, it is often necessary to cover the pot soil with a layer of pottery or broken stones in the spring and autumn stage when the plant has the strongest reproductive ability, so as to prevent the leaves from "falling to the ground and taking root".
Of course, even so, when it continues to breed new seedlings, we need to clean up the excess plants in time to prevent mutual influence and interference, resulting in poor or overgrown plants, and insufficient chassis.
In addition, during the process of disposing of excess undead birds, it is best to dry them and then throw them away to the greatest extent possible to prevent them from being "reborn from the fire" and growing wantonly!
(3) Not cost-effective
As we all know, because succulents are good and have different audiences, the price-performance ratio is not equal to its price ranking.
Generally, during the period of planting undead birds, we do not spend much money, but in the later stage, we need to be vigilant at all times, and we cannot experience the fun of "challenge", which even exceeds the "fun" to a certain extent!
Therefore, the undead birds that are not cost-effective and have a low appearance are becoming more and more unpopular!
On the other hand, its few people buy and other general goods with high succulent appearance and low value are inseparable.
After trying more objects, the succulent immortal birds that can live in the soil naturally do not occupy the advantage, and are no longer people's first choice and favorite!
Off-topic nowadays, the audience of undead birds is relatively small, but there are still people who continue to try new varieties of undead birds.
And this kind of undead bird has the advantage of strong reproductive ability, so it is preferred to "potted plants" during planting!
In addition, as a succulent, it likes to have plenty of light like the usual succulents, and the leaves will change into different colors under the influence of sufficient light.
Generally, in the spring and autumn stage of the open air placement of succulent undead birds, as long as the dry moisture of the soil is controlled in time, always keep the soil in a dry state, potted plants under the light, the plant can quickly color and away from the long spread of the cake and other ugly factors.
In the summer due to the high temperature of the natural environment and strong light, the planting of undead birds should keep the plant away from direct light, otherwise the leaves will die due to temporary dehydration, and even long spots.
Of course, in the summer, you can bathe more in the light. Indoor potted plants in winter give them plenty of light, and at the same time, they need to constantly adjust the watering interval throughout the year.
Generally implement the rule of "see dry watering wet, not dry and not watering, dry and thorough watering"!
In addition, since the soil used for the cultivation of the undead bird is a succulent special nutrient soil, it is best to add a large amount of natural organic fertilizer once a quarter to comprehensively strengthen nutrition in the second year of heavy stubble planting, so that there is no need to add any form of high-efficiency fertilizer at ordinary times.
