Today, a meat friend asked Elder Tang: Which is the best breeding, the succulent winter beauty and the red pink beauty?

Speaking of winter beauty, I remembered that my winter beauty had not been photographed for a long time, and I couldn't find a recent photo. It's not that I hate it, or don't want to take pictures of it, it's because it's not easy to take pictures after adjusting the maintenance position for it - it is placed on the top of the building in a high and convex place, and every time I look at it, I need to step on the brick seam and climb 3 meters high with my bare hands, although it is not dangerous, but it is too tired to climb up.
The winter beauty that was previously controlled
There are relatively more photos of the red pink lady, because it is placed directly on the roof of the building, and it can be seen every day when you go upstairs. Why do I still have such common varieties as Winter Beauty and Red Pink Lady? The reason is very simple, they are all elder-level succulents, and I brought them up from the leaf cuttings, of which the winter beauty is the first succulent that I officially entered the pit, such a commemorative succulent variety, how can I be directly eliminated?

Which is the best breeding between winter beauty and red pink beauty?
According to my experience of raising winter beauties and red pink beauties for more than 7 years, they are very skinny and easy to raise, and usually we basically don't have to worry about them to live well. If I had to make a comparison between them, I think the winter beauty would be better skinned - it can be exposed in the southern region all year round, not afraid of the sun, not afraid of freezing, and can also be rainy for a long time. Although the red pink lady can also be exposed in all seasons, the leaves will fall off if the rain is too long, and frostbite will occur if the temperature in winter is below minus 5 ° C.
Winter beauty controlled by small pots
As far as the appearance of winter beauties and red pink beauties is concerned, I personally think that the latter's appearance is higher. Many meat friends may have seen the extreme state of the winter beauty, feel very amazing, but that is the succulent open hanging area can be raised in the state, in the non-open hanging area we can raise it to the inner leaf slightly powdered, the external leaf yellowing is very good. The red pink lady is much better, as long as the light of the maintenance environment is slightly sufficient in winter, its leaves will not only turn pink, but also may appear beautiful blood spots.
Out of the state of the red pink lady
Of course, Winter Beauty and Red Pink Lady are both classic succulents, and we don't need to choose between them, both of which are king. As far as the maintenance method is concerned, they are basically no different, first of all, it is recommended to use small pots to control breeding, and then change the old pile pots to plant when they grow up. Secondly, in order not to affect their burst side buds, the proportion of particles in the early soil distribution can be maintained at about 70%, and the proportion of particles in the later stage of stem lignification is increased to 80%, so that they can achieve a better state.

In addition, I have said above that winter beauties and red pink beauties are very sun-resistant, so all year round we can put them in the best place to maintain the best light, even if the summer temperature is as high as 40 ° C or so, as long as the potting soil remains slightly damp, there is no need to worry about them sunburn.

Finally, about the problem of their watering, I will briefly say: we do not need to water in the open environment, but it is recommended to cover the rain for too long, otherwise the winter beauty will affect the state, the red pink lady may lose the leaves, and the non-open environment can wait for their bottom leaves to dry up and consume every time before watering. Winter beauty and red pink beauty can be cut off for a long time, 1 month or 1 and a half or so water is no problem at all, and low temperature water control will help them to achieve a better state.
