Discussion on Jade蝴蝶 Old Stumps, Small Stumps, and Mini Old Stumps
Today, I will introduce some knowledge about the succulent plant Jade Butterfly, including a brief discussion on Jade Butterfly old stumps, small stumps, and mini old stumps. Next, the editor of this site will provide more information.
Not only for Jade Butterfly old stumps, but also for other Crassulaceae, people often mention old stumps, small stumps, and mini old stumps. What is a stump? It refers to the stem. Any plant with a stem can be considered to have a stump, but I believe not all plants with stems can be called stumps. I think a stem should be at least 5mm thick and not less than 30mm tall to be considered a stump (my definition of a stump might have a relatively low threshold), and different people may have different understandings.
Small stumps are those that meet this minimum standard.
Old stumps require the stem to reach a yellowish-brown color, which takes a certain amount of time.
Mini old stumps have a darker color and multiple heads.
New or shorter stems are mostly yellow-green, and some turn red.
With time, they turn into a soil-brown color (some slightly reddish).
As time progresses further, the stem surface becomes similar to bark, with a harder outer surface and a gray-black color. It takes about four years to reach this stage, at which point the stem truly deserves the name 'old stump.' However, the activity of such a stem decreases, and using it for propagation results in a longer time for root development.
The above discussion on Jade Butterfly old stumps, small stumps, and mini old stumps (with illustrations) is complete. I hope it can be helpful to you. Finally, don't forget to visit more often for more flower cultivation experience and knowledge!
