1、 We must first understand the formation habits of succulent plants

We divide succulent plants into three categories, namely "winter type", "summer type" and "spring and autumn type". Generally speaking, we should pay attention to the same characteristics in the same basin. In this way, they have similar growth periods and dormancy periods. The optimum growth temperature of winter type species is 10 ° - 20 °, lower than 5 ° or higher than 30 ° is dormant, and water is cut off during dormancy. Most of the common Crassulaceae, Liliaceae and apricotaceae belong to winter type species. The optimum growth temperature of summer type species is more than 15 °. Cactus family and Euphorbiaceae mostly belong to summer type species. Of course, this is not absolute. The growth period of some varieties will change according to environmental changes. We should adapt to the place. Different regions and temperatures have different growth characteristics.

2、 You need to know the body characteristics of meaty people

The second factor to consider in making a basin is the body matching of succulent plants. In detail, it can be divided into shape, height, fat and thin, etc. To make a pot full of meat, high and low, fat and thin, scattered, we must first understand the body characteristics.

Take Crassulaceae plants as an example to talk about how to match them.

Common Crassulaceae can be roughly divided into two kinds, namely "columnar" and "flower".

The columnar is represented by the plants of Cyclobalanopsis; There are many flowers, such as stone lotus, lotus palm, perennial grass and thick leaf grass.

Crassula plants grow in a straight line and are easy to separate.

Echeveria, Sempervivum and pachyphytum are short and easy to grow in groups.

Although aeonium is also in flower shape, its stem is upright and may grow tall.

3、 Fleshy color contrast

We should consider the color matching of succulent plants in pot matching. Meat of different colors will be more beautiful and colorful together. When the temperature difference is large, Crassulaceae plants will change color. The original green is replaced by brighter colors. The colors mainly include yellow, red, purple, white, black and blue. The representative plants are as follows.

Yellow: sunrise, Huangli, Huangxing, Mingyue, Golden Flower Moon, Dongyun.

Red: Fire sacrifice, red immature lotus, Ji hazy moon.

Purple: Purple Pearl, blue stone lotus, frost crane.

Brown: Purple peony, rosette grass

White: white peony, gem flower, snow lotus, Lu's stone lotus.

Black: Black mage, black prince, Dahe brocade, Xiaohe brocade.

Blue: Flower moon night, blue Dailian, blue pine.
