Old succulent plants are too expensive! In just 4 steps, the seedling can be turned into an old tree immediately, without spending a penny!

Change to a larger pot to give the succulents enough space to grow

1. Growing succulents in small pots will keep them at the same size, restricting the growth of stems and naturally preventing them from growing into good-looking old stumps.

2. However, the pot should not be too large. If it is too large, it will be difficult to control watering and it will be easy for water to accumulate and cause root rot.

3. Generally, you can choose a pot that is 2-3cm larger than the diameter of the whole succulent plant, so that there will be enough space for the succulent to grow when the stems grow.

Outdoor cultivation can make succulents more adaptable

1. Flower lovers who grow succulents must know the concept of "open-air cultivation", which means placing succulents outdoors to be exposed to natural wind and rain, and the light will be sufficient.

2. After being nurtured by nature, succulents will become very strong, and their rhizomes will grow very thick, and slowly grow into old stumps.

Cutting more heads can make the stems thicker and more stable

1. In addition to propagating succulents, beheading can also make their stems thicker, which is conducive to the formation of good-looking old succulent stumps in the future.

2. If succulents are beheaded frequently, the rhizomes will grow horizontally, making the stems thicker. Stems that are too thin cannot support the heads of succulent plants and are not conducive to the formation of old stumps.

Water control can accelerate the formation of old succulent piles

1. Many leggy succulent stems are long and thin, and appear fragile compared to the beautiful old stumps. Controlling the frequency of watering can make the succulent stems thicker and limit their leggy growth.

2. If you normally water the tree once every 10 days or so, in order to promote the formation of old piles, you can change it to once every 20 days or a month, so that it will be basically formed in 3-5 months.

3. Water control does not mean no watering. It cannot affect the normal growth of succulents, otherwise they will become wilted and thin.

It should be noted that:

1. The succulents that are usually grown into old piles are from the Crassulaceae family.

2. When the succulents grow upwards, the leaves at the bottom will become dry. Do not pick off the leaves with your hands, let them fall off naturally.

3. What is most needed for growing old trees is patience. The succulents will be the most beautiful after they have grown through a period of sedimentation.
