Hello everyone, I am Elder Tang, and recently a meat friend asked: Some succulent stalks or root systems are very short, and the whole is "concave", what should I do if it is not easy to plant?

In the process of raising succulents, we will encounter some strange things from time to time, such as the back-to-back succulents I talked about before, they are not only difficult to plant, but also there is always only one angle to look good when taking pictures after raising the state, so I have always hated back-to-back succulents. Of course, I hate it, but I have a bunch of such strange things in my hands, such as Two-Headed Orange Monroe, Enchanting Sky, Champagne and Albaja, etc., I can't do anything about them to grow like that, I can only hope that they will burst the side buds as soon as possible, and then become a multi-headed group.

Speaking of this, some meat friends may say: It's still easy to plant succulents with long poles! This is true, but there are also strange things in the flesh of the long pole, such as those demon piles that grow into "eighteen bends", and it is not easy to adjust the direction when we pot it, and it is not easy to fix. The only way to do this is to plant them in the direction they grow, and if you want to break them back, it will definitely not work.

Some succulent stalks or roots are very short, and the whole is "concave", what if it is not easy to plant?
The back-to-back succulents I mentioned above are not easy to plant, mainly because its leaf position is low and the root system is short, and when it is potted, it is often pestled on the soil surface, which cannot be fixed at all. In addition to back-to-back succulents, some naturally low-growing varieties are not easy to grow if they are cut off or trimmed too hard, because they are "recessed" and cannot be fixed like back-to-back succulents.

So how do we plant succulents with short stems or roots that are "recessed" throughout? I can give you 4 suggestions on this issue. The first suggestion is to cut off the succulents, and if conditions allow, let's try to keep the stalks longer. For low-rise succulents such as Chihuahuas, Dark Ice, Ebony and Champagne, we should not prune the roots too hard, at least the length of their roots should be left until they can be buried and fixed in the soil.

The second suggestion is to break off some of the succulent bottom leaves. Whether it is a succulent cut head, or a new hand or a succulent turned, in the case of its leaf position is very low and the overall "concave shape", we can break off some of the bottom leaves to expose the succulent stalks or roots, so that it is naturally easy to plant. However, if the succulent itself has very few leaves, then we can't do this, otherwise it may be consumed before it is served.

The third suggestion is to dig a hole in the potting soil and put the succulent on top of the pit. However, there are some details to be paid attention to, first of all, a small amount of pure peat soil should be placed in the pit, so that the fleshy root system can grow into the soil smoothly. Secondly, the peat soil in the pit must be kept in a slightly damp state at all times, because if the humidity is too low, it is difficult for this "recessed" flesh to root properly.

The fourth suggestion is to make a small mound of peat soil in a pot, then make a hole in the middle, and then put the flesh on top of the hole. Why? There is no other reason for this – the mound is to increase the contact surface between the succulent and the potting soil. The purpose of the hole is to enhance ventilation and avoid direct contact with the potting soil through the succulent incision of the head, thereby reducing the chance of black rot due to bacterial infection. In short, this kind of succulent with a short stem or root system and a "concave" shape is actually cultivated in a similar way to back-to-back succulents.
