The name Yushu always outlines a fresh and lovely picture: emerald green leaves, full texture, as if with a hint of fairy spirit. I used to be a big fan of Yushu and was full of love and anticipation for it.
However, now I have to admit that the jade tree that I have raised for 10 years finally disappointed me and was finally thrown on the street by me. This decision was not made on the spur of the moment, but was based on some of my troubles and reflections on the process of Yushu conservation.
First of all, let me talk about the flowering ability of the jade tree. In my process of raising the jade tree, I always look forward to seeing it bloom beautiful flowers and add a touch of color to my life.
However, to my disappointment, the flowering ability of the jade tree is simply too poor. Despite my various measures, such as controlling the light and adjusting the temperature, I was never able to get the jade tree to bloom. Instead, all I saw were the green leaves, never the shadow of the flowers. This made me feel very depressed, and my interest in Yushu gradually waned.
Secondly, I must admit that the price of Yushu is really prohibitive. When I first started raising jade trees, I didn't particularly care about the price. I think as long as it brings me joy, it's worth the extra money.
However, as time went on, I began to realize that the cost of raising a jade tree does not stop at the purchase of the plant itself. In addition to the price of the plant itself, I also needed to buy maintenance supplies such as pots, soil, and fertilizer, which combined to exceed my initial budget.
Especially when the jade tree needs special maintenance conditions, I also need to spend more money to meet its needs. This made me wonder if I was worth paying such a high price for a potted plant.
The third problem is the difficulty of maintaining the jade tree. Although the jade tree is generally considered to be an easy plant to maintain, in fact, it is not easy to maintain. Especially in the hot and dry climate conditions of summer, the leaves of the jade tree are prone to drying. I need to check the soil moisture frequently and adjust the watering frequency to make sure the jade tree is getting enough water.
In addition, Yushu also has certain requirements for environmental factors such as light and ventilation, and if the conditions are not suitable, it will affect its growth and health. In the process of raising jade trees, there are often problems with the plants due to negligence or improper environmental conditions, which brings me a lot of troubles and troubles.
In the end, one of the problems I had to face was that the jade tree rotted at every turn. In the jade tree that I have been raising for 10 years, root rot often occurs. Even though I managed to control the amount of watering and humidity as much as possible, I still couldn't avoid the problem of root rot.
Root rot not only affects the growth and health of the jade tree, but also causes other diseases, which eventually lead to the death of the plant. Faced with this problem, I felt powerless and even a little hopeless.
To sum up, these four reasons together prompted me to finally decide to throw the jade tree that I had raised for 10 years on the street. As much as I have feelings for Yushu, I can't allow myself to be trapped in endless pain.
Perhaps, leaving the jade tree in the care of others can also bring new vitality and vitality to it. May it thrive in its new environment and blossom of its own. I will still miss it, but I believe that it was the right choice.
