3. sunset glow
As a hybrid of Guanghan Palace, Sunset naturally inherited the tall genes. This perennial succulent plant of Sedum is not small in size, with smooth leaves, white powder and slight wrinkles. The leaves of the sunset glow are very thin and smooth, and the edges of the leaves will be red when they are not in the state. The leaves show a gradient of pink and blue and pink and purple, just like the sunset glow. Although the sunset glow grows slowly, it does not prevent it from growing tall and big. Leaves are generally larger than the palm of a person's hand, which is very domineering.
Daily maintenance, try to give the sunset all-weather illumination, and its sunshine demand is still very strong. Sunset has strong drought tolerance, so it can be properly watered and moisturized after the soil surface is dried. However, its cold tolerance is poor, so it is best to give up open cultivation in winter and use indoor insulation to prevent freezing. When it is hot in summer, you can shade it properly, use tools such as fans to cool the sunset glow, and strictly control the amount of watering to make the soil slightly dry. Generally speaking, the sunset glow belongs to a relatively solid variety.
4.baifeng
Baifeng is also a succulent plant of Chenopodium, and there is no giant succulent plant of Chenopodium. Baifeng is a eugenic variety which is a cross between frost crane and Saussurea involucrata. Its leaves are very wide, the maximum diameter of leaves can exceed 20 cm, and the width of leaves can reach 5 to 7 cm. This huge leaf shape completely inherits the frost crane, and the leaves of baifeng plant frost like snow lotus.
It belongs to a kind of large stone lotus, its leaves are generally emerald green, but in winter, especially in the case of large temperature difference, its leaf margin and old leaves will turn red and look very beautiful.
Baifeng is also a relatively easy flowering variety among succulents. The flowers are pink outside and a little orange inside. They are small and beautiful.
Baifeng likes a sunny growing environment, which is green under normal circumstances, and gradually turns red with the increase of sunshine time, so remember to give Baifeng more sunshine during the growing season. The watering method is still the principle that most meaty people follow. They don't dry or water it, but water it thoroughly. Remember to control water conservation in rainy season, otherwise it is very easy to rot roots. In winter, the temperature is low. When the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, water can be controlled or maintained without water, and it is king to keep the basin soil dry in cold season.
5. Lotus palm
Lotus palm is a large-scale variation lotus palm, which originated in Mexico and is now planted all over the world. Its biggest feature is that there are white spots in the middle of the leaves, so friends who like brocade and meat will like this kind of meat. Its leaves are spectacular, with a diameter of more than 50cm, and it is a well-deserved giant. The leaves of Spotted Lotus are yellow-green, and the edges of the leaves are a little red. These gradient colors are evenly and regularly distributed, unique and extraordinary. The leaves are stacked together like lotus flowers, and the atmosphere is elegant.
Because it is produced in South America, the lotus in the middle likes a warm, dry and sunny environment, and the semi-shady environment can also be maintained, but it is drought-resistant but not cold-resistant, afraid of water accumulation and avoid the sun. Because the lotus root system in the middle point is developed, it doesn't need much sunshine, and the accumulated water can easily lead to the branches rotting and blackening, so it doesn't need too much watering. Some leaves will fall off when sleeping at high temperature in summer, so it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation and shading.
Hidden in the void
The picture is from Little Red Book.
Finally, a finale player, Void Hidden Tequila, is introduced, which is a super-large agave, native to Arizona, New Mexico and northern Mexico. Kongzang is a veritable king of giant meat. Because the shape and size are very similar to the lotus seat of Bodhisattva, it is named after this Buddhist temple.
Its adult plants can reach more than 40cm, and the flowering adult plants can actually reach the height of 8 meters, which is really impossible for ordinary flowerpots to hold. It is best to plant it in the open air, and people who see it for the first time will even marvel that they can't keep their mouths shut. The leaves hidden in the void are solid, evergreen all year round and have yellow-green flowers. The leaves are gray-green, with thorns at the top and thorns at the tip, which are dark brown or dark brown.
In fact, the biggest problem of planting space is space. Generally, unless it is a terrace, it is difficult to accommodate such a tall man. In fact, it is better to take care of plants in the void. Because of its excellent drought resistance and high temperature resistance, it can be exposed in general seasons. Its cold tolerance is average, so remember to take measures to keep out the cold in winter. Void Tibet likes well-drained, fertile and moist sand, and needs water control in winter. Friends in rural areas or friends with enough planting space can really choose this variety, and its shape is really amazing.
In addition to the above five kinds of giant succulents, Sedum has many large succulents, such as Gaoshaweng, Lan Shilian, etc. , and the succulent mage, who is also a Gao Shuai player belonging to the succulent world, is very tall and straight. Of course, agave is the best plant genus to produce giants, and interested friends can also pay attention to this type.
