Succulents, with their unique shape and ease of care, have become a favorite object for plant lovers. However, in the succulent world, there are also some varieties that were once highly regarded and sought after, but are now a laughing stock for various reasons.
Maybe you've raised one of them with your heart, only to find that it's just a pit in the end. In this article, we'll take a deep dive into how those once-touted succulents went from red to waste. How many pits have you hit?
1. Kumadoko
Bear boys, the name sounds funny, because their leaves are shaped and colored like the claws of a cub. However, what is surprising is that some bear boys will emit a strange smell similar to stinky feet as they grow up.
This taste can be due to improper soil and environmental humidity, especially in humid environments, where the taste is more pronounced. Whether it's at home or in the office, if your bear boy starts to "stink", it's really a laughing stock.
2. Ebony
Ebony is loved for its dark green leaves, which give it a quaint and elegant feel. However, some ebony trees show problems with poor leaf color during growth, and sometimes even show a dull state.
This can be caused by a lack of light, improper maintenance, or soil quality issues. Whatever the reason, this has seriously affected the ornamental effect of the ebony, leaving many caregivers disappointed and thus becoming the object of ridicule.
3. Baby fingers
The name of the baby's finger is reminiscent of the soft and delicate baby's finger, so it is attracting attention. However, they have an unexpected problem – they have very poor sun protection.
If exposed to the sun for too long, the baby's fingers are prone to sunburn and even scorching, which seriously affects its growth and ornamental value. This problem is a problem for many people and is one of the main reasons why many caregivers fail to raise children.
4. Chihuahua
Chihuahuas are loved for their small and delicate appearance, but many people find that they tend to grow easily during the actual maintenance process. Chihuahuas grow at a fast rate, and if not pruned and managed in time, they can easily grow into a messy plant that loses its original beauty.
This characteristic discouraged many people from losing interest in Chihuahuas, and became one of the reasons for their ridicule.
5, Jade Butterfly
Jade butterflies attract attention for their delicate leaves and fresh color, however, many people find a headache in the maintenance process - easy black rot.
The leaves of the jade butterfly are susceptible to excessive water or environmental humidity, resulting in the phenomenon of black rot, which seriously affects the growth and ornamental effect of the plant. This problem discourages many caregivers and thus becomes one of the reasons why Jade Butterfly is ridiculed.
Of these once-touted succulents, each has its own "fatal wound", which is embarrassing. But behind these laughing stocks, there are also deep thoughts and lessons on succulent conservation.
When raising succulents, in addition to appreciating their beautiful appearance, we should pay more attention to the management and careful care of the environment, so that they can maintain their vitality and vitality for a long time. Perhaps, it is in failure that we can grow and learn better, let us explore the mysteries of the succulent world together, avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and become real succulent masters.
