Writing exercise

Original –

In recent years, succulent plants are popular among young adults. They originated in Africa and South America where the climate is dry and hot. So, they are easy to keep that you just have to provide little water and enough sunshine. Especially, white-collar workers prefer to put the succulent plants on the table. They can relax themselves when they see these cuties.
I used to cost 300rmb for succulent plants, tools, soil and some small rocks which were used to cover the soil to reduce water evaporation. In order for more sunshine, I moved these succulent plants from my balcony to the yard. Unfortunately, most of them were eaten by birds outside as I didnt do any protective measures.

I used to pay 300rmb for several succulent plants, including tools, soil and some small rocks which were used to cover the soil to reduce water evaporation. In order to get more sunshine, I moved these succulent plants from my balcony to the yard. Unfortunately, most of them were eaten by birds outside as I didnt build any shelter for them. Which would have been a net with some sticks to prop it up.
