This is a running account, recording the twists and turns in my meat raising process, more boring, please bear more ha.
The first time I knew about this magical creature was in 2014, when I went to Dalian to play, my classmates took me to the western suburban flower market, she was a meat cone fan, so she visited the meat cone apricot shop, and was suddenly attracted by the colorful little farts, it is a pity that this flower market has now been demolished.
In the summer of 2016, the house was renovated, on the grounds of purifying formaldehyde (afraid of others saying that my mother, haha), into more than a dozen pots of messy succulents, what particles of peat soil at that time what is not known, the result can be imagined, now there is only a pot of money strings left.
The first two single-headed photographs are gone
2017 is officially into the pit, looking for flowers, birds and fish markets and succulent greenhouses everywhere, see no varieties on the want to buy a pot, maybe everyone has experienced the stage of variety control, but in July of this year the reason for the work need to go to the field to study for 3 months, when please my dad took the time to help water, with the horticultural engineer certificate, he took the succulent as a seedling to raise, and when I came back, there were few who could breathe alive, and the remaining few skinny general goods were also terminally ill, only the best growing single stick trees had exploded n heads and became hated.
Those three months alone in the field, the heart is always worried about those small things, free time on the Internet to find information, that is, at that time to understand what is called soil repair and how to maintain.
The autumn of 2017 is my most meat obsessive time, pay attention to a lot of Taobao shops, add a lot of greenhouse owners' WeChat, but also into several Korean group buying groups, before the winter in the living room master bedroom and cloakroom all the balconies are full of flower pots, winter in the northeast, outside the cold wind, dripping water into ice, However, after indoor heating 28.9 degrees during the day, at night can also reach 24.5 degrees, this environment watering is really a technical work, the first time into the meat pit I know where I understand, can not control the hand, look at the watering, in fact, most of them are not completely served pots, the delicate varieties of the regiment, Berkeley brocade, mint brocade, stick leaf Fu Niang brocade, etc., all through the water black rot. Looking at the pot sighed, he secretly made up his mind to raise less belt brocade and raise more varieties of skin.
2018 is the year that hit me the hardest, and even once out of the pit, deleted all sellers, returned to the WeChat group, even the photos were emptied, and now I can turn to a few missing pieces in WeChat, the reason is to listen to my details.
In the spring in the top floor public area to try to raise, happily moved up, less than three days, disappeared more than twenty pots, are still old piles and expensive varieties, and meat friends said, she suggested that I knock on the door door to ask, I thought about it or forget it, are people who love flowers, know that pick expensive to take, should still understand some, better than falling into the hands of Xiao Bai. So I struggled to find a hidden place, yes, it was the top of the elevator room, and every time I went up, it was like climbing.
Pull the wire up
Immediately after the summer, many varieties of leaves were sunburned, I bought a piece of tarpaulin, tied with a rope to the wire railing around it, the railing was only half a meter high, the coastal city was already windy, plus the typhoon that year, the rope tied was broken, the toma cloth fluttered with the wind, every swing had to take away a few pots, a week later I went up to water, the broken branches and pots, everywhere, when I saw this scene, the heart was like ten thousand grass mud horses galloping through, hard work to fight the country, once back to the liberation, painfully thinking, after sorting, The remaining succulents were all sent to people and stalls to sell, and resolutely went out of the pit, deleting everything related to succulents, leaving only a few pots to be placed in various parts of the room as decorations.
A rope that has been torn off
Lack of succulent companionship, the winter of 2018 is a bit difficult, the heart of the total how to raise meat and addiction, to the spring of 2019, everything recovered, the heart always heard the cry of meat and meat: come, happy, anyway, there is a lot of time. Faceless and skinless, I went to the flower, bird and fish market again, and entered some small seedlings.
In June, I took lao Hu, who was still my girlfriend at the time, to the greenhouse, she followed me with great interest, she was also fascinated by succulents, this sub gave me the motivation to buy and buy, and afterwards I learned that she liked succulents, it was basically love house and Wu, and the succulents bought back were fresh for two days.
After experiencing a pit retreat, buying meat is more rational, no longer do variety control, nor buy easy to do long, after all, half a year of the year is a balcony party, grow fast and easy to become a cliff pile also do not buy, such as Ji Qiuli, Raul, light snow, etc., it is easy to break branches and baldness when the dew is windy.
Raul, who let the birds peck at the baldness, and Maruba Hime Qiuli, who was blown off by the wind sticker roots, were really not in the mood to take pictures
Unless you are particularly fond of the squeamishness and recognize the beauty for a while, you will not enter it. Snow lotus, peach egg, jade butterfly brocade, Berkeley brocade, these I like varieties are abandoned. Black rot, bird pecking, strong wind, or being destroyed for various reasons, none of them have a good ending.

2020 is relatively bland, changed jobs, all of a sudden busy, others are 996, I am 887, the time for succulent care is also less, the top floor is exposed sometimes a month or even longer to go up to water, many are because of lack of water to dry death, in the winter to take indoors, there is time to take care of carefully, then fall in love with leaf cuttings, feel that a leaf can be blinding, a leaf can also become a forest, like varieties such as orange Monroe, silhouette, ice jade, female chicks are inserted a lot, I rarely fertilize, resulting in small seedlings growing very slowly, In the spring of 2021, I only applied some water-soluble fertilizer, watching the leaf cuttings grow day by day, the sense of accomplishment is really full, seeing that they all carry the love of the old mother, it is really bought that they are adopted, and the leaf cuttings are biological.
Winter 2020 leaf cuttings
Now they are all grown up
I don't know if the leaves of the female chick brocade will be withdrawn from the brocade, after all, there is no brocade yet.

Red pink lady, 19 years of leaves planted a lot, have been given away, leaving only this Zhou Zheng big four joy

I am a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, I can't see the head, I can't see the water pole, many beheaded groups and broken branches of the group and the water fertilizer urge the big are cut into a single head by me.
The pansies of the water pole were cut into a pile of small single heads by me, and so was vanilla.
Hibiscus snow lotus is a leaf cutting seedling in the spring of 20 years, and the pink blue bird is broken by beheaded flocks.

In winter, the yellow brocade is also quite beautiful

The mage has also raised many varieties, but every time in the winter, the balcony can not be put down to give people, and occupy the place and block the light, save space can put several more pots, eh, envy the outside balcony, a glass, put on the shelf, can be put vigorously.

Brilliant, gone
The ball also entered a lot, in the winter are placed on the north balcony or corner, the next spring when it is taken out to expose the time when it can not adapt to a lot of sunburn. No way, after all, except for the few days of flowering, the rest of the time is really not welcome, how can there be a good place for them.
Yellow apricot
Red and purple is probably like that
Crimson jade, a ruthless flowering machine
Half a year of dew raising, half a year of indoor maintenance, soil is difficult to do, can not be full of particles, because the dew breeding basically depends on the sky to eat, long time without rain root system is easy to wither, and can not peat too much, in winter it is easy to grow, I basically 50% of the particles, 20% vermiculite, 20% peat, and 10% of the rice husk charcoal, pine scales, coconut bran and other messes.
Regarding the conservation experience, I really dare not say that, adding several gods with different coordinates to learn from the scriptures, the answer obtained is surprisingly consistent: the coordinates and the breeding environment are different, and it must not be followed step by step.
I have been using peat before, but this year I am going to try to replace the old pile with coconut bran, and I heard that the color will be more transparent. In terms of meat raising, I am still a novice, many things need half a year or even more than a year to see the results, I am lazy and busy, the time invested in succulents is really not much, while raising and learning.
Raising meat is a kind of slow, we take it slowly.
