Many celebrities and fashionable people like to grow flowers and grass. Some time ago, I saw a pot of cactus raised by JJ Lin, so I clicked on it and took a closer look. It really subverted my perception. The pot of cactus he raised was called "Black King Pill". It was rare in the country and was one of those rare items that even the richest people couldn't buy. Most of the ones sold online are seedlings, only about 3 centimeters in diameter. A prickly pear such as "Kuroo Maru" with a diameter of more than 7 centimeters can be sold for about 30,000 yuan. It is not available in China. It can only be purchased in the country of origin and then shipped back to the country. As for JJ Lin's pot of "Black King Pill", the diameter is about 15 centimeters according to visual inspection, so the value goes without saying.
But when I saw the flower pot used to plant "Kuroo Maru", I was already confused. According to reports, this flowerpot is a limited edition flowerpot called "Lightning". It is purely handmade and only 50 sets are sold worldwide. It is also the kind of flowerpot that even rich people cannot buy. The key is that this flowerpot The market price is 50,000 yuan, you can’t think of it! Moreover, if you really want to spend 50,000 to buy it, I guarantee that you won’t be able to buy it, and it can be extremely scarce.
In other words, ordinary people can build a large garden with a pot of cactus raised by JJ Lin. Although it is not and cannot be compared, it really feels like this is not raising flowers, but "raising money". Moreover, I personally feel that although "Kuroo Maru" has never been seen in real form, in the pictures I looked at, its appearance is not that extraordinary. This is probably a symbol of the rarity of the variety and the trend!
In fact, as far as cacti are concerned, without deliberately pursuing elegance, some seemingly ordinary but good-looking cacti are really very popular.
1, Dragon King Ball
There are many varieties of home furnishings. It is a popular trend to use flowers and plants to decorate the home environment. If you like succulents , you can try to raise some succulents at home, like the Dragon King Ball in the cactus. The unique shape and beautiful flowers and fruits make people put it down. It is easy to grow and not difficult to manage, but its flowering period is very long. Its flowers are very distinctive. They are golden yellow on the first day and turn crimson on the second day, with as many as 37 petals. It gradually opens during the day and closes at night. In the morning and evening, its flower shape is 3 or 4 overlapping layers. It will only fully bloom at noon, which is also when the flower fragrance is strongest. There is no doubt that It is a treasure in the ball.
2, Feihua Jade
Feihua Jade has always been known as the "flowering machine" in prickly pear, and it is a species that some prickly pear enthusiasts are very familiar with. It was born for viewing, and its popularity is very high. It is very suitable for novice florists to cultivate and care for. Even if they have no experience in growing flowers, they can still grow it well. Since it is known as a "flowering machine", there is no doubt about its flowering ability. When the temperature rises in late spring, it begins to bloom and can bloom until late autumn. If you are in a warm place in the north, It can also bloom in winter. When flowering is at its peak, only the flowers and no spheres can be seen in the entire flowerpot. The flower colors are even more unusually rich. Among the new varieties that are constantly being introduced, new flower colors are constantly being born, which are exceptionally gorgeous.
3, Xingdou
Xingdou is very rare in its native place, and it is even more difficult to find. Most of it is covered by grass and sand. Only in the flowering period can you find its traces when you see the flowers it blooms. However, it can be found thousands of times. Don't dig it out casually, it has been included in the appendix of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. What we are cultivating now are all products produced through artificial horticultural breeding. The flowers blooming from Xingdou are yellow flowers, and each flower only blooms for 1 to 2 days. Compared with its flowers, its spheres are more valuable for viewing. Xingdou needs sufficient sunlight and can be grown on balconies or windowsills. Because it grows slowly, it is very good as an ornamental plant.
4, Jinhu
Jinhu is larger, and it is normal for the big one to grow into the size of a basin. When I saw it for the first time, I was still very shocked. Golden Amber is not just big. Many people regard it as a Feng Shui potted plant, and it has become the first choice for growing plants and flowers at home. If you like flowers, you can keep a few at home, but not too big. It is more interesting to raise some small golden ambers. Looking at its strong and powerful thorns, golden color, and small bulbs, they look very domineering. It is very beautiful to keep at home, but it is difficult to bloom. It is difficult to grow flowers. If you like it, you can try it!
5, Yuweng
If Jinhu is domineering, then Yuweng is the Xiaojiabiyu type, which makes people feel very petite and cute. Although its whole body is covered with thorns, it does not feel prickly to the touch, but is very furry. cute. In the flowering period, it is also very interesting when it blooms. It blooms in circles, like a garland. After the flowering period, it can also produce small pink balls. It is also a very good and beautiful cactus variety.
6, Qixiangwan
Qixiangwan has a unique shape and is quite individual. Although it is small in size, its diameter is only 2 to 3 centimeters. It is a columnar cactus. During the flowering period, its flower stems will grow very long. It blooms white flowers and is pretty, but I don’t have much experience with it, but it has a very charming floral fragrance that you can smell as long as you walk next to it. It blooms very easily and will produce seeds after the flowers fade. Therefore, Qixiangwan is not only easy to breed, but also easy to reproduce. Because of its small size and excellent ability to purify the air, it is always kept in desks and studies, and is of great ornamental value.
