Succulents, with their unique shapes and vitality, have been deeply loved by a wide range of flower enthusiasts in recent years. How to make succulents grow with a "fat and juicy" body has become a puzzle in many flower lovers' hearts. Let's unveil the secrets of fattening succulents and make your succulent potted plant a favorite of盆景 masters!

Choosing the right variety

To grow fat and juicy succulents, we need to choose the right variety. Succulents with thick leaves and rich flesh are easier to grow with a "fat and juicy" body, such as Sedum, Echeveria, and Crassula are all good choices.

Adequate lighting

Succulents enjoy plenty of sunshine, needing at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. When caring for succulents indoors, you can place them near windows to ensure they can fully absorb sunlight. It is important to note that during the hot summer, proper shading is necessary to prevent sunburn to the succulents.

Proper watering

Watering is a key step in caring for succulents. Succulents prefer dry environments and should not be watered too much. When watering, follow the principle of "better dry than wet", water only when the soil is completely dry, and ensure that the water can penetrate to the roots to avoid waterlogging that leads to root rot.

Suitable temperature

The best growing temperature for succulents is between 15-25℃. In winter, when temperatures are low, succulents should be moved indoors to avoid frostbite. In the hot summer, they can be placed in cool, well-ventilated areas to avoid direct sunlight.

Reasonable fertilizing

Succulents do not require a high demand for fertilizer, but moderate fertilizing can help their growth. During the growing season, applying a compound fertilizer once a month is sufficient. When fertilizing, follow the principle of "frequent application of thin fertilizer" to avoid over-fertilization that can burn the succulent roots.

Pruning and shaping

To make the succulents grow with a "fat and juicy" body, we can prune and shape them appropriately. During the growing season, you can trim away withered leaves and long branches to promote healthy growth of the succulents. Pruning can also be used to shape the succulents, making them more beautiful.

Raising fat and juicy succulents is not difficult. By mastering the above six points, you can make your succulent potted plant a favorite of盆景 masters. Caring for succulents also requires patience and attention to detail. Believing that in the near future, you will definitely harvest a pot of beautiful succulents!
