As we all know, plants have phototaxis, and succulent plants are no exception. the reason why our succulent plants grow crooked is mostly because they have been placed in the same place for a long time without changing direction, as shown in the picture below. plants will grow in the direction of strong light (sunrise), and become crooked over time. So how do we get back to our succulent growth?

In the process of maintaining succulent plants, we often encounter the situation of succulent "crooked heads". There are three reasons for succulent succulent heads: succulent light, top-heavy and root problems, of which the first situation is very easy to solve. Turn the flowerpot 180 degrees on it, succulent will slowly recover. If it is top-heavy that causes the succulent plant to tilt its head, we can replace the succulent plant with some heavy granular soil to make the root system deeper and more stable, or we can use something to cushion the succulent plant, so that we are not afraid that the succulent plant will fall askew. This situation is better and will not lead to succulent casualties.

The density of the basin soil varies, and when watering, it is used to watering in one direction, and slowly the plant deviates from the center, and it will also make the succulent plant grow askew. If it is just planted soon, you can hold it gently with a stone or something. Let the plant return to the center. Because it has just been planted, even if the root system is slightly torn, it is not a big problem. Do it as little as possible in summer. Don't get used to watering in one place of the flowerpot at ordinary times.

When the succulent plant was still fine the day before and suddenly tilted its head, we should be cautious, indicating that the root system problem is already very serious at this time. Hurry to turn the succulent plant into the basin and check it, trim the root system and then put it on the basin. Don't let it go. In addition to the situation of succulent crooked head, attention should also be paid to the softening of leaves. In spring, we often encounter the situation of softening of leaves. Many people will think that it is caused by lack of water, and they will be watered at this time. But in fact, lack of water is only one of the reasons, and there are other factors that will also lead to the softening of succulent leaves.

There is a kind of succulent plant that belongs to its own pole is relatively soft, as long as it grows to a certain extent, the growth of crooked potential is inevitable, the most typical is the jade pendant such as succulent, it can be premeditated to let it grow in a crooked direction, such as hanging from the edge of the basin in the first place, and give it more light in the tilt direction. Another common reason for crooked growth is the relationship of light. In the case of insufficient light, the plant is easy to grow in the direction of sufficient light. If found in the early stage, attention should be paid to giving sufficient light or turning the pot properly.

Here, I would also like to tell you that some succulent plants grow faster and are easier to form old stakes. As the succulent plants grow taller, the upper part of the stem will become heavier and heavier, so the stem will naturally be bent. This cannot be changed by changing the light. However, when the pole is bent, the shape will look better. There is also a situation, that is, succulent crooked is more serious, this simple sun can not solve the problem, even if the direction is changed, the shape of the plant will not be perfectly corrected, it is best to cut off the head and insert a new pot.

All right, hurry back and check to see if your flesh is crooked.
