How is it that the leaves of succulent plants are shrunken and fertilized without getting fat?

A flower friend asked, raised succulent plant leaves are always deflated, fertilization is not fat, what is going on? No matter how you toss, want to make succulent plants fat, some flower friends are hard to control water, some choose fertilization, all this work premise is only one, that is, the root system must be good. The quality of the root system should be paid attention to before the basin, cut the fleshy root system, and rub fat into big meat balls in the later stage.

It should be noted that the fleshy root system is very fragile, so it cannot be cut casually. What we need to cut is those dead roots and old dried roots. The taproot must not move it. Because if these dead roots are not cut off, it is difficult for new roots to grow out. When we start watering, these dead roots that have no ability to absorb water will be in a wet state for a long time after contact with water, and will slowly rot away. Once rot occurs, it leads to the growth of pests and diseases, and the whole plant will suffer.

The first factor affecting fleshy roots is, of course, time. An old stump that takes years to grow must be more fleshy than a newly rooted root. So, if your fleshy flowers are only a few months old, don't think about thick roots. There must be none. What you need to expect is a more developed root system, which looks like a bushy beard at its best.

Next is the problem of dead leaves. Dead leaves accumulated for a long time are easy to catch diseases and insect pests, especially in summer, which is easy to cause a closed and sultry environment, so they must be cleaned up. Those dry leaves that are not easy to remove should not be moved. Forced tearing down will hurt the meat itself, and most of the transparent water is due to the discomfort caused by the sudden change of growth environment due to the fact that the meat has just been bought home and planted for a short time.

For succulent plants, the problem of excessive growth is manifested in the stem is too tall, the leaves are thin, the leaf spacing is too large, and the plant does not have a sense of compactness. Why is it that good meat is overgrown? The root cause is the lack of light plus more water, especially novice meat friends are difficult to control their love of watering hands, these two factors exist at the same time, more meat will grow in less than a week.

There are two ways to save excess flesh, one is to cut off the head directly, and the other is to remove the leaves. Cutting off the head is equivalent to "reshaping" the succulent plant, the original plant will burst out lateral buds and continue to grow; picking leaves is to break off several layers of leaves near the bottom (can be reserved as leaf inserts), expose the stem part, and gradually grow in the direction of the old pile.

This is a gathering place for succulent plant lovers to share succulent conservation skills. Welcome to pay attention to communication.
