In the spring of 2017, I suddenly realized that the life of staying up late to chase drama games was no longer suitable for a middle-aged woman in her thirties. In order to urge myself to adjust my routine and live a healthy life, I placed an order for a succulent novice package at a price of twenty or thirty yuan in a treasure, and since then I have embarked on an uncontrollable succulent journey.
The first succulent novice set, the dance of the fallen leaves, the staghorn begonias with all the rods, is now unbearable to look back on, and almost the whole army is destroyed.
However, I have the advantage of being a person, that is, once I start, I must take it seriously. At that time, the Internet searched for the name and preference of meat, and made an identity card for each pot of meat. Then there was a steady stream of buying and buying, succulents, flowerpots, flower stands, and in less than a month, the otherwise empty balcony of the house was stuffed.
The identity card I made when I first entered the pit now looks silly.
The two wooden flower trellises that were originally bought are now batch after batch of meat and meat, and the flower trellises are still strong after being blown and sunburned by the wind.
In addition to the flower stand, I also bought work tables and chairs and a cupboard for storing supplies. The so-called desire to do good things must first be used by them!
Beautiful lotus flowers.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to make waterproofing and grape racks on the roof, I asked the workers to clean up the balcony and make a few wooden shelves for the meatmen.
The balcony that was just finished.
I often think that if I didn't have the original love for meat, my home wouldn't have been so full of life, and it would still be cold and empty.
Occasionally, the meat-growing table can also sit here with a cup of tea, uh, play with your phone.
The initial meat was very stateless, and the dish was a slice. Now this pot of Purple Xuanyue has become a super elder, and has been infused with many pots by the old mother.
On May Day 2017, I visited a local succulent greenhouse with a friend who also loves succulents, which was an eye-opener. The color of people's meat, that state, made me envious of the succulent novice.

Go home and see your own succulents, except that the pots have colors, and the meat is too bad.
So I thought about it bitterly and decided to requisition a place in the vegetable garden on the roof of the old mother's building to carry out the succulent breeding project, so that my meat and meat could also bask in the sun all day and show a beautiful state. At that time, my mother was actually not optimistic about my raising succulents, thinking that the meat was too small, a small pot and a small pot, nor could it blossom, nor could she eat, and she could not understand my so-called meat cuteness.
Say dry, take advantage of the fact that the mother is not in my house, a treasure ordered a dew maintenance of the antiseptic wood flower stand, the dew maintenance plan started!
The flower stand is still helped by my husband, even if I call myself a woman, the big project is still uncertain.
Prototype, and later added two sides of the guardrail and rain shelf.
An elderly dog forced into business.
Sunscreen has been added. Later, rainproof shelves were added until May Day this year.
On May Day in 2020, with the increase of meat and meat, the beauty of meat not only conquered my mother, relatives, neighbors, and even my father, who always liked to raise orchids and camellias, began to support me in raising meat. Dad demolished this elderly wooden flower stand on This May Day and personally helped me transform a stainless steel double-layer super "big meat cage". Dad said that stainless steel is not afraid of wind and sun, is the meat of the centennial plan. However, it is not all completed for the time being, so let's put the photos first, or enjoy the cute meat together.
2017 pink vine cute.
In 2020, this little cute has become a big pot of little cute.
There is even a hint of embellishment.
As long as the little cuties have time, they will grow up to show you minute by minute.
The first Black Mage to get started with, and the one he likes the most, occupies the c position on the living room windowsill every winter. Unfortunately, however, the black rot occurred in the early spring of this year.
Well, that's right, the crooked little mage on the side is what it looked like when it first came.
In 2018, the balcony's flower trellises also became multi-storey.
Slowly, many of the original little cutenesses have grown into a charming appearance, which caught me off guard.
The roof of the building is exposed, and the meat has just experienced heavy rain.
After the rain washed away, the color of the flesh seemed to become darker.
When I started, it was a double-headed cute thing, and the pole was not high.
Now it has become a small old pile of bouquets, and the sense of achievement is full. The Raul next to it has also changed the basin that has always been oversized this year, looking forward to growing stronger.
Cupid, a small single-headed cupid who just got started in 2017. At that time, there was really no resistance to this pink and tender color.
Now that this Cupid has become the mother of a bunch of cubs, it feels like it has to change pots again.
Xiuyan, who bought in a succulent greenhouse in 2017, how cute and cute you were at the beginning!
This Xiuyan has experienced the devastation of wind and rain, broken fingers and leaves, and then stubbornly lived to the present, becoming a big old pile of enchantment.
This is the spring of 2019, the exposed flower trellis is full, and the happiness is also full.
Sure enough, it is necessary to have various colors together, which is the correct way to open the meat.
From the original on the balcony, to the balcony, the roof, and every sunrise window sill, there are meat and meat figures.
Jinan this weather, winter can not be pure dew nourishment. Once lazily froze to death a pot of peach big old pile, heartache can not work. Since then, it is to move in in the winter, move out in the spring, and protect against rain and sun in the summer. Although it is a little hard, it is very happy to see the little cute creatures getting more and more beautiful.
Female chicks have always been my favorite breed. The little red tip, especially loves to burst the pot, raising it has a special sense of accomplishment. Once raised a 20 cm oversized basin of female chicks, later given to relatives and elders, she also very much liked the female chicks' powerful ability to burst pots.
Pink claws, but the state is not too good, and the appearance of the flesh is still quite cute.
So far, the knowledge of meat is still shallow, and there are very few people who can communicate, so for more than three years, it is still half a variety of blind, especially the moon shadow department is not clear.
Looking back on these three years, perhaps the biggest gain is more communication with parents.
Because even if it is a mother and daughter, there is a generation gap, and there are really not many common topics. But since I started raising succulents, my mother did not approve from the beginning, and now I am vaguely proud of my meat army, and we finally have a topic to talk about between us. The flowers and flowers I raised and the leeks and peppers she planted grew together in this small world. When my mother was not at home, she always told me not to forget to water the vegetable garden, and what seedlings she raised could not be put away in the sun; when I went out on a tour, I would definitely tell her not to water my flesh and meat, and to pull on the canopy when it rained. Well, in fact, my mother still can't understand why plants don't need water, don't like water, okay.
Although my father rarely came to live in my house, he always silently supported every decision I made with practical actions. In the summer of 2019, in order to let my meat and meat have enough good light in the winter, he asked workers to re-transform the balcony into a glass room, and from then on, the meat and meat that moved into the balcony in winter can also be basked from the top of their heads to the warm sun.
Although I may still be a succulent to this day, this does not affect the subtle changes of meat to my daily life. Slowly, I think I probably began to have the way I should have at this age, no longer as impetuous as in my twenties, but still retaining my enthusiasm and love for life. Looking forward to, what kind of feelings will we have in the next three years?
