How to shape old succulent plants How to shape old succulent plants

When growing succulent plants, they are most beautiful when they grow old. When the branches and trunks grow old and burst out of the pot, they are absolutely very beautiful.

But if we go to buy them, the old piles are very expensive and not easy to ship, and what we often buy are smaller seedlings or plants in small pots.

In fact, it is not difficult to grow succulents into old piles. From seedlings to old piles, you only need to complete 4 steps to quickly grow beautiful old piles that overflow the pot. Today I will tell you how to grow succulents into old piles.

Rapid growth

Most of the succulents we know grow fast. We need to understand its growing season. As long as the temperature is not lower than 5 degrees, it can grow normally, and as long as the temperature is not higher than 30 degrees, it can grow normally.

Therefore, except for summer, it will continue to grow as long as the temperature is suitable in other seasons. During its growing season, we make sure to put it in a place with light and provide it with plenty of water and fertilizer.

Reasonable beheading

It is necessary to cut off the top of the plant in time . If you don't want to cut it off, after it grows taller, we can appropriately remove all the leaves at the bottom to expose the stem .

Then, let the pole see the sun, and it will quickly grow side buds. When the side buds grow more and more, we can achieve the desired effect of the pot bursting. Therefore, we must reasonably cut off the top, or appropriately remove the leaves at the bottom, so that it can produce more side buds.

Summer Aging Control

To control aging, you must ensure that the succulents get some light. If they are shaded, about 50% will be enough to ensure the ventilation of the environment. The water content of its branches and trunks is relatively high.
We don't water it for a whole summer, and let it continue to consume the leaves underneath until all the stems are exposed. If it can see the light, the light will shine on the branches, and the skin of the branches will quickly turn brown and become old stems, thus forming old piles.

Out of state appreciation

The plant has grown to the size of a pot and the stem has become old. It has reached the appearance that we want, that is, it has grown to the size that we want. We need to make it grow quickly. So how can we make it grow quickly?

After we raised it like this, its root system grew very well, the side buds grew a lot, and the leaves were relatively thick. Generally, if you want it to grow well, put it in the sun. Let it receive sufficient light, and it is best to create a temperature difference for it. If the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, it will be conducive to its rapid coloring.
