Don’t let your succulents grow into short-lived plants. I’ll teach you a trick to make them live 10 years longer!

Only by growing succulents like this can they live longer!

Some flower lovers think that as long as they take care of the succulents according to their habits, water them when necessary, expose them to the sun when necessary, and fertilize them when they lack nutrients, the succulents will definitely grow quickly. But the meat grows very slowly, what’s wrong? It must be because I didn’t change the pot for the succulent!

Why do you need to change the pot for succulents?

Succulents grow all the time except during their dormant period, and spring is the best time for them to grow rapidly. Of course, you must change the pot to a larger one in time and give it enough growing space so that it can grow into a big fat plant!

When do you need to change the pot?

1. Planting soil for more than 1 year

If the soil for growing succulents is used for more than a year, the nutrients will be greatly reduced, especially the granular soil, which will become powdered and stick to the roots of the succulents, hindering root breathing. Once too much water is given, the roots will rot very easily!

2. Spring grows slowly

In theory, succulents should grow rapidly in the spring, but if they still don't grow after watering or fertilizing, there may be a problem with the root system. Quickly remove them from the soil, check the roots, and repot them!

3. Many aerial roots and soft leaves

Generally speaking, the growth of many aerial roots is a sign that the succulent is strong, but if the leaves become soft at the same time, it means that the soil is compacted and not breathable! Change the pot quickly!

4. When the dead leaves are too dense and difficult to clean up

The withered leaves at the bottom of some succulents are very dense and difficult to clean. At this time, you should change the pot quickly and clean up the withered leaves in time, otherwise a lot of scale insects will definitely grow in the hot summer!

5. Not enough growing space

Some flower lovers grow succulents with leaves that are so densely packed that they fill the pots, and even water cannot be inserted into the gaps. And the succulents are still growing. At this time, you must quickly change the pot for the succulents to a larger one, otherwise it will affect ventilation and easily lead to diseases and pests!

6. The meat of the dead seedlings

A succulent plant that is dead will not grow for a long time, its leaves will have no luster, and will be a little wilted, but not dead. At this time, you need to change the pot for the succulent to break the static growth!

7. Soil compaction

Symptoms of soil compaction include the soil becoming hard and no longer loose. After watering, it is difficult for water to seep in. This kind of soil can easily suffocate the roots, so the pot must be changed quickly!

This is how you grow succulents so they can grow into old trees!

The old succulent plants have various postures and thick trunks, and look very tall and majestic. When Huahua sees the old succulent plants raised by the masters, she can’t help but stare at them! Raising an old pile is not a matter of a day or two. First of all, you must remember these essential skills!

1. The flower pot must be big enough

If the flowerpot is too small, the stems of the succulent will not have enough space to grow, but don’t make it too big either. Just choose a flowerpot that is 2-3 cm wider than the diameter of the entire succulent, so that the stems will have enough space to grow after they grow out.

2. Raising meat outdoors makes it stronger

Succulents grown outdoors have stronger resistance and can better adapt to the environment for many years. The rhizomes will grow stronger and stronger. Just be patient and they will grow into old stumps!

3. Beheading

After beheading, the succulent stem will grow horizontally, making the stem thicker and more stylish.

4. Water control

Some flower lovers have found that their succulents are growing too tall. Although the stems are relatively long, they cannot be compared with the upright old stumps. In this case, you need to control the water to make the stems thicker! For example, if you originally watered it once every 10 days, but after controlling the water, water it once every 20-30 days, after 3-5 months, the old pile will be formed!
