Answering netizens' questions on how to care for the succulent plant Ji Longyue and providing detailed information on the care essentials of Ji Longyue, the following is an introduction by the site editor for the netizens.
Ji Longyue is a very beautiful succulent plant. It not only has strong vitality and is easy to care for, but also grows rapidly. It can easily be cultivated into a beautiful, old-stump potted landscape. In autumn, its color becomes more vibrant, making it very appealing. Today, I will share how to cultivate the succulent Ji Longyue into a beautiful old-stump potted landscape.
First, choose a pot. When growing succulents, we usually choose smaller pots to control their growth and enhance their ornamental value. To cultivate a robust old-stump of Ji Longyue, a slightly larger pot is needed, which can hold more growing soil, conducive to root growth and faster plant growth.
Second, the growing soil requirements. Succulent plants are drought-resistant and afraid of waterlogging, so before potting, it is necessary to prepare well-draining and loose growing soil. Common substrates used for growing succulents include vermiculite, perlite, coconut bran, coal slag, etc., which can be mixed together. When growing succulents, it's best not to use soil with too much stickiness, as it can easily lead to waterlogging or prolonged moisture after watering, causing root rot.
Third, avoid frequent watering. All succulents should not be watered too frequently. Ji Longyue is also a plant that is easily damaged by waterlogging. In addition to using well-draining soil, special attention should be paid to watering to prevent the potting soil from remaining moist for extended periods, especially during the summer dormant period when the plant should be kept slightly dry. In autumn and winter, watering can follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry.

Fourth, fertilize regularly to supplement nutrients. To keep Ji Longyue thriving, it is necessary to ensure sufficient nutrients. When potting, a small amount of slow-release fertilizer granules can be mixed into the growing soil. During the plant's vigorous growth period, a nutrient solution can be watered every half month or some decomposed organic fertilizer can be applied. In autumn, to make the leaf color more vibrant, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be supplemented several times. Fertilization should be stopped in winter when temperatures are low.
Fifth, provide adequate sunlight. Ji Longyue succulents enjoy sunlight and proper sunlight management is required in different seasons. In summer, the plant does not tolerate high temperatures and will enter a dormant state, requiring shading. In other seasons, it can be exposed to more sunlight. In autumn, placing the potted plant in a sunny environment can make the leaves brighter.
Sixth, pruning and shaping. If you want to cultivate Ji Longyue into an old-stump potted landscape, in addition to strengthening water, fertilizer, and sunlight care, side shoots should be pruned regularly to allow the remaining plants to grow sturdier. When the bottom leaves are too dense, some can be removed, allowing the stem to grow longer and become semi-woody, making the plant more graceful and beautiful.
By following the above aspects, the Ji Longyue plant grows very fast and can become a beautiful old-stump potted landscape in just over a year.
