Hello everyone, I am Tang Z长老, a资深 (senior) friend of succulent plants for over 6 years. Today, a friend asked: What should I do if my "French Queen" succulent grows too tall?
"French Queen," also known as "Blue Enchantress," is a succulent plant from the Crassulaceae family, specifically a拟石莲 (simulated stone lotus) species, and one of the 包菜系 (cabbage-like) succulent varieties. It looks like a combination of a ballroom red skirt and a first kiss, with its leaf edges having a red hem, while the shape and color of the leaves resemble a first kiss. It is also a large succulent variety with very robust stems that can easily grow to about 20-30 centimeters in height, and the crown can reach over 30 centimeters.
As a tall succulent variety, it is very normal for the stems of the "French Queen" to grow tall. If we have seen other succulent friends' posted pictures, we will find that almost everyone's "French Queen" is planted in a pot with some height. Therefore, after the "French Queen" grows tall, we can repot it in the autumn when the weather is cool, using a pot with height, and then use soil with about 80% particle ratio for controlled cultivation.
The old stem pot not only increases the beauty of the "French Queen" but also allows its roots to penetrate deeper and grow more robust. At the same time, high-particle soil can prevent it from growing too tall and accelerate the lignification of the stems to become old stems. In the autumn and winter seasons with sufficient sunlight, the leaves of the "French Queen" will become round and thick, the plant shape will start to wrap tightly, and the leaf color will gradually turn into a Rouge color, with the deep red wrinkles on the leaf edges becoming more pronounced.
If you don't like the "French Queen" stems to be too tall, you can cut the top in the autumn, reducing the stem height while also allowing it to become a multi-head clustering plant. The top part that is cut off can also be used for propagation, and once it survives, you can get another pot of "French Queen," which is a win-win solution.
