The succulent state of Yunnan is really nowhere to compare, generally grown in Yunnan succulent state is very good, and the shape is also very beautiful. The succulent Tia purchased from the Internet two days ago originally thought it was an old pile, but did not expect to send it over to see that it was a pseudo-group. If we encounter such a situation, what should we do about it?
First of all, let's understand what a pseudo-group is. Group growth is the same body appears multiple growth points, grow new branches and side buds, and grow together. In layman's terms, no matter how many heads this succulent has, they have a common root system. Pseudo-groupings are what look like swarms, but are actually formed by multiple plant subjects coming together, and they are all independent individuals, just artificially putting them together. Because the price of succulents is much more expensive than that of a single head, pseudo-flocks will have so much market.
If it is purchased in a physical store, it is difficult to find that the plants are pseudo-flocks until the time of changing pots and soil. If you buy online, you will find it when you receive the goods, because the succulents are de-potted and de-soiled, and the pseudo-group cannot be hidden. If you don't get a fake group of meat, you can do this in addition to finding a merchant to return and exchange.
Plant the plants separately. Although the group of succulents looks like a burst pot, coupled with the succulent state is better, you will feel very good, but this is not conducive to the growth of plants, because the succulents are overly concentrated together, not conducive to ventilation, especially when planted in the home environment, because of poor ventilation, plants are easy to rot black.
The first method is to behead your Tia. After beheading, they will grow a lot of side buds in a relatively short period of time. After a period of cultivation, Tia will become a herd. That way you can get a lot of potted Tia.
The second method is to let Tia grow upside down. The main method of operation is to gently tilt Tia to one side at each time of watering, paying attention to the amplitude of a tilt that cannot be too large, otherwise it will hurt the root system of the plant. Only a small angle is needed at a time, so that slowly Tia will grow laterally, and new branches will continue to grow on the stem, so that slowly it will become a multi-headed succulent, and it is sooner or later.
The third method is to top the succulent, in fact, this is the same as the succulent beheading, but it is just another way, and the operation process is similar.
In fact, the overall situation of the succulent market is still good, very few succulent practitioners will use pseudo-groups to sell as group plants, but some succulents of small white practitioners themselves do not understand, mistakenly sell pseudo-groups, of course, there will be some people who do not care about anything for the sake of profit, this is of course a minority.
Buying succulents requires only one trick to detect whether the succulents you are buying are pseudo-flocks. Place the succulent on the table and gently pluck the succulent on the side, be sure to do so gently. If you see the whole plant shaking, you are basically sure that this is a real group, and if only the one you pulled is shaking, it is basically determined to be a pseudo-group. However, this operation must be carried out without the seller's attention, oh, in the case of less force.
In is to understand some, very easy to group succulents, such as jade butterfly, cranberry, Raul.
