I was first exposed to succulents in the summer of 2017. In the community, a disabled person bazaar sold succulents, and I bought 10 pots. At that time, I thought that raising succulents was like raising green plants (covering my face), and on hot days, I replaced them with ceramic pots, watered them every morning and evening, and applied compound fertilizer. In this way, after a series of divine operations, only two pots remained. Baidu looked for the reason, found the public account of Baike jun, and opened the road of buying, buying and buying.
At first, I thought that succulents only had sedum. Later, I met the little bee in the micro circle, as well as Ah Yu and A Tu Ge (a succulent local specialty of Dongshan Island), who was attracted by their ball and fell into the pit.
Colored grass, balls to see the flowers to count the colored grass, the most flower color.
The largest number of flower buds is 14 flower buds blooming together. And my master's most one is 23 flower buds blooming together, and I still need to work hard.
The next few are all colored grass. Most of my colored grass was given to me by my master, who didn't tell me the name.
I like yellow flowers the most, and the balls of yellow flowers do not like to sprout side buds.
To propagate colored grass, you can use side buds or seeds. The color of the side buds is consistent with the mother, and if the mother is old enough, the side buds will bloom in a year. If you want to grow a new flower color, you can cross the flowers of different colors. Pick large flowers, many layers and polychromatic colors to pollinate. For example, the following one is very good.
The grass blooms at night and withers at noon the next day. If the weather forecast says that it will rain at night, I will move the flowers that are ready to bloom to the small shed, so that the flowers will not be defeated by the rain, and the next morning I can watch the flowers and pollinate.
Colored grass, how big a pot you give it, how big it grows, I planted it with 15-20 cm pots.
The woolly flower pillar flying saucer, larger than the flowers of the colored grass, lasts longer, blooms at night, and withers the next night.
Colored grass, hairy flower pillars, sandalwood and jade are very skinny and do not pick soil. My soil is coconut bran + granules + sheep dung eggs. My master is more casual, using garden soil + sand + cinder, and he also raises well.
The following sheets are sandalwood, which are smaller than the flowers of the colored grass, and there are many flower colors. The group opening is very beautiful.

Some people do not like the thorns of the ball, you can raise the following varieties, no thorns, cute.
White sand luan phoenix jade, need sunlight, if the light is not enough, the surface of the white sand will be reduced. I'm exposed, and 39 degrees of full sunlight is fine.

Four-horned white sand luan phoenix jade

The look of flowering
I tried pollinating with four and five corners and failed.
The four-horned Enzuka luan phoenix jade, the white spots on the surface are more dense and dense than the white sand.
Cloth balls
I love pockets, which are divided into three categories: glass pockets, star pockets and super pockets. It is best not to expose the pocket, it will sunburn the surface, and it will crack in the rain. Do not get the pocket wet when watered, the surface of the fluff will turn yellow when it is wet, and it is not good-looking.
Glass pocket
High-velvet starfish with flying saucer pocket (belonging to the glass pocket)
Star Pocket
Super Pocket
Wired pocket (belongs to the super pocket)
I also love fish, which are divided into three categories: silver crown jade, black feather jade and jade. Look at the decor to divide the easier points. The flowers of silver crown jade are the most colorful, the black feather jade is shallow, and the jade is pure white.
School of fish (not yet flowered, unknown species)
Uyu jade
Fish are best not to be kept open. Silver crown jade and black feather jade have a layer of white powder on the surface, and the rain will wash away the white powder, and the water will crack. I watered the fish and the pockets with a spiky pot. To lay the surface for fish and pockets, it is best to use a paving stone with rounded corners. Because in the winter they are dormant, the surface is wrinkled, and when the weather warms up and the water is poured, the sphere expands and becomes larger, and if the sharp corner of the paving surface is used, the sphere will be stabbed.
White-haired white-flowered Kawen Pill. This thorn does not stab the hand.

Plants are noble, and very common varieties bloom beautifully. Aesthetics have no standards, I love that is superior.

While the blossoming balls, you can try to play pollination. Some flowers bloom for three days and can be pollinated the next day because there is less pollen on the first day.
I've tried pollinating balls that bloom at different times successfully. The pollen that was first opened is stored in a box and refrigerated in a freezer, pictured below. A few days later, another one bloomed and was used for pollination.
Most of the balls are thorny. Pay too much attention to its thorns, and you will ignore its flowers and not even see them, and so will the people who look at them.
Golden Amber. Many park landscaping sites are planted with gold amber.
Crimson Dragon
President
A steel nail that just came out of the middle stab
Cat's claws
Most of my balls are raised from small balls, and I will be anxious at first, thinking that they will grow up quickly. My master often taught me to "raise flowers for a while, and I am in a hurry." Now I am not in a hurry, waiting for the flowers to bloom, reading technical posts and learning more about succulents and balls.
