In recent years, succulent plants have always attracted everyone's attention. Especially the "Monilaria obconica" variety that looks like a little bunny. Not only does its cute appearance attract people's attention, but it has also become popular among the public because of its easy-to-care characteristics.

Generally speaking, Monilaria obconica can be grown indoors and in offices. It is very recommended for beginners to buy and plant. After buying it from the flower market, how should it be maintained? In terms of soil, the soil usually provided by the store is mostly garden soil. This kind of soil is not the best choice for growing Monilaria obconica. If possible, it is best to add more granular media in the middle, such as valley carbon or plant ash. This can increase potassium fertilizer nutrition and also have a bactericidal effect.

In terms of placement environment, although Monilaria obconica is relatively hardy, it doesn't mean it can be maintained in a closed space. It likes an environment with good ventilation. When maintaining it, it is recommended to open windows for 2 hours in the morning and evening for ventilation. In daily maintenance, in addition to paying attention to increasing shade in hot summers, it is recommended to give 3 - 4 hours of scattered light in other seasons.

In terms of fertilization, you can choose ordinary succulent fertilizers in the flower market. The fertilization time can be once in spring and autumn respectively. At the same time, in the growing season in spring and autumn, potting and transplantation can also be carried out. After changing the pot, adding an appropriate amount of base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot can promote the healthy growth of the plant.

Regarding the precautions for maintaining Monilaria obconica, in the hot summer months (that is, from June to August), when the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, it will automatically enter a dormant state. At this time, the "little bunny ears" may lose their vitality and the leaves may turn yellow. But when everyone encounters this situation, don't think that the plant is dead. In fact, it is just dormant. During this period, don't water it. Try to place it in a cool and ventilated place and wait for spring and autumn to come. It will gradually start to wake up, grow a round green head, and then a pair of bunny ears will grow in the middle of the green head.

In general, Monilaria obconica is simple to maintain. At the same time, you should know that it has the characteristic of "withering and flourishing once a year". Every year, it will go through the process of drying up and rebirth. Don't think that it is completely defeated and throw it away and stop raising it immediately. Because in the next year it will be a cute little bunny again.
