The cute succulent that has been raised for a long time suddenly "grows disabled", then your succulent may be long! Succulent growth is a phenomenon that is particularly prone to occur during conservation, usually manifested as succulents with tight branches and leaves slowly growing into plants with scattered leaves and bright green colors.
Succulents grow up mostly due to insufficient light or too much moisture in the soil. When the succulent plant does not receive sufficient light, it will choose to raise the stem and spread out the leaves to reduce the barrier between the leaves, thereby increasing the light receiving area, then the succulent will look particularly loose and unsightly. If there is too much water, the water storage in the succulent tends to be saturated, which will promote the continuous growth of the plant, so there is a phenomenon of growth. Today Huahua introduces several ways to effectively prevent and deal with succulents, do a good job of these points, and even ugly succulents can be cultivated into little cuteness.
One. Ensure adequate light, strictly control water, and prevent succulents from growing
Plenty of light is the most critical point in making the succulent look cute and petite. Succulent maintenance in a well-lit place can largely prevent the growth of the disciple, but many people like to maintain a small pot of succulents indoors, sometimes placed in a dark place is not difficult to ensure sufficient sunlight, then you can add a fill light, which can also effectively prevent the growth of succulents.

If the succulent has already grown and is not very beautiful, we can choose to cut off the top of it, according to the height of the plant we want to cut off the high branches and leaves, because there is no growth point at the top, the nutrients will prompt new small buds to grow on the trunk, while the main stem of the succulent bottom will gradually become aging, the growth point between the leaves and the stem will grow a lot of side buds, after a period of cultivation, it will become a pot of succulents. Moreover, the top of the cut shoots can also be dried in a cool and ventilated place, and then the fluvo-aquic soil is inserted into the pot, and new shoots can grow after a while.
Three. Raise old piles
If the stem is long, you can pluck some leaves and let the lower branches see the light, which will make its stem age rapidly and become wooden, and then it can be maintained to grow old piles. The old pile stem is thicker and ornamental, which is a good choice, and this method is suitable for succulents that are not too long.
