In life, due to busy work or lack of gardening experience, many people feel powerless when it comes to taking care of plants. Today, I will introduce two "wild" plants that are not only suitable for home cultivation but also extremely vital. They not only have strong frost resistance but are also extremely easy to care for. It is very easy to achieve the effect of a full pot. They are ideal choices for home greening.
Stringy Stonecrop
As the name suggests, Stringy Stonecrop has branches that naturally droop down, pouring down like a green waterfall, which is extremely ornamental. Its leaves are small and round, emerald green, and look even more vibrant in the sunlight. Stringy Stonecrop grows extremely fast and can cover the entire flowerpot in a short time, forming a dense green barrier.
Stringy Stonecrop is a very cold-resistant plant and can maintain strong vitality even in cold winters. It likes a sunny environment but can also grow well in partial shade. In terms of water management, Stringy Stonecrop is relatively drought-tolerant, but the soil still needs to be kept moist during the growth period. In addition, Stringy Stonecrop has no high requirements for soil. Generally, garden soil or leaf mold can meet its growth needs.
Maintenance tips:
Place Stringy Stonecrop in a sunny place, such as a balcony or windowsill, to ensure it fully conducts photosynthesis. Follow the watering principle of "water when dry", that is, water after the soil surface is dry to avoid root rot caused by water accumulation. Apply a thin liquid fertilizer once a month during the growth period. In winter, fertilization can be reduced or stopped. Regularly trim long branches and dead leaves to maintain the beauty and ventilation of the plant.
Sedum hispanicum
Sedum hispanicum is a succulent plant. Its leaves are small and thick, light green or yellowish green, and the surface is covered with a thin layer of white powder, as if covered with a thin layer of snow. In a sunny environment, the leaves of Sedum hispanicum will become more compact and full, showing a charming luster.
Sedum hispanicum also has strong vitality. It is not only cold-resistant but also drought-tolerant. It likes a warm and dry environment and has a high demand for light. In terms of soil, Sedum hispanicum prefers loose, breathable, and well-drained sandy soil.
Maintenance tips:
Place Sedum hispanicum in a sunny place and avoid being in a dark and damp environment for a long time. Follow the watering principle of "better dry than wet" to avoid root rot caused by excessive moisture in the potting soil. The watering frequency can be appropriately reduced in winter. Maintaining a good ventilation environment helps reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. Sedum hispanicum can be propagated by cuttings or division, which is simple and easy.
As two "wild" plants suitable for home cultivation, Stringy Stonecrop and Sedum hispanicum not only have extremely high ornamental value but also have strong vitality and are easy to care for. Whether it is a busy office worker or a beginner lacking gardening experience, they can easily handle them.
