Succulent cliff piles, the precipitation of time

When succulents get older, they will grow into old stumps. Some of them will grow upwards, while others will grow downwards, hanging around the flowerpots to form cliff stumps.

Generally, as succulents grow taller and larger, the leaves at the bottom are constantly consumed, and new leaves gather at the top. Over time, the heavier head will droop down and form a cliff pile.

So, if we want to get cliff stumps, we must first cultivate an old stump, but what should we do if the cultivation time is too slow? Don’t worry, Yaoyao, there is an accelerated version here.

Cliff pile construction, 2 methods to choose from

1. Falling meat

1. Let the succulents grow taller and stronger first, and then wait for the leaves at the bottom to dry up, or pull off the lower 2/3 of the leaves of the succulents with bare hands, apply some carbendazim on the stems, and let them air dry.

2. Then place the flower pot on a balcony or windowsill in a well-lit area. Do not turn the pot during this period so that the sun only shines on one side of the succulent. (The phototropism of plants will make the succulents bend towards the light)

3. Wait until the head of the succulent bends slightly, then find a small stone and tie it to the top of the succulent stem with a thin rope. Use external force to make the succulent hang down quickly, and then release it after it becomes a cliff pile.

Note: When artificially weighing down the flesh, do not tie a very heavy stone all of a sudden. Increase the weight little by little. Otherwise, the flesh will not be able to bear it all at once and its head may be broken easily.

2. Put down

1. When the succulents grow to the height we want, put the succulents and the flower pot upside down together. If you are worried that the soil will spill out, you can cover it with plastic wrap (don't seal it).

Let the succulents remain in a lying position. After about 20 days, the succulents will bend upwards and grow due to their back-to-ground nature. When they grow to a suitable state, stand the flowerpot upright.

Note: After the cliff pile is formed, the flower pot will easily become unstable. It is best to choose a heavier pot to plant succulents, or lay some heavy paving stones on the surface of the pot.
