It takes 5 years to cultivate the "thick-skinned" plant to the thickness of a bowl opening, and it can be considered a family heirloom
Friends have asked me before about which succulent is easy to grow into an old stem, and how long it takes to grow a succulent old stem. I thought to myself and said, your lazy nature is better off cultivating a pot of "thick-skinned" plant, which can grow to the thickness of a bowl opening in a few years. Isn't it enough to be an old stem? To be honest, it is really suitable for lazy plant lovers.
Several plants are called "thick-skinned," but the one familiar to everyone is the jade tree we are talking about today. Generally, beginners in plant cultivation like to grow it because it has thick, green leaves, and its skin is sturdy and easy to care for. Once the jade tree becomes woody, it grows into an old stem tree with thick and strong stems, reaching over 2 meters in height, with unique shapes and high ornamental value.
The jade tree that has grown into an old tree will also bloom, with flowers that are white or light pink. The flowering period is in summer and autumn, with abundant flowers that create a beautiful green and white contrast. Additionally, the lifespan of the jade tree is very long, and it can be easily cultivated for over ten years.
Generally, it takes 1-2 years to grow a jade tree into an old stem quickly, mostly 3-5 years, and it takes about 5 years to grow to the thickness of a bowl opening. If it is continuously cultivated, it can basically be passed down as a family heirloom.
The method to transform a small jade tree into an old stem is simple. This plant grows very fast, and you just need to cultivate it according to its habits. Keep it in a well-ventilated, warm, and brightly lit environment, maintain slightly dry soil, and occasionally provide some nutrients, applying thin and frequent fertilization.
However, the jade tree needs a lot of pruning during its growth process to achieve a good shape. After 3-5 years of cultivation, you can see the effect. Of course, don't waste the pruned branches, as they can also be used to propagate new jade tree potted plants.
