How do you grow succulents so they fill out the pot? You need to know these few key factors

Environment is a very important factor for succulents. Three factors like crisp clear skies, plenty of sunlight, and a large temperature difference between day and night are not something we can control. For those people who can grow succulents exceptionally well, the environment accounts for most of the advantage.

Today, I will mainly talk about succulents filling out the pot. Many succulent growers say that those succulents that easily fill out a pot have never filled out a pot for them!

Actually, there are many succulents that easily fill out a pot. There are also many methods that easily fill out a pot.

1. If there is only 1 succulent in a pot, and you want that one succulent to fill out the pot, by the time your hair turns white they might possibly fill out the pot.

Getting a single plant to fill out a pot is really too hard, so do not make things difficult for yourself.

We can use the cutting method to make them fill out the pot.

2. Always deliberately pursuing natural clustering. Seeing other people's succulents growing naturally and lushly, such a big pot, so beautiful. You think your own succulents can just be left to grow naturally.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Other people's succulents grow beautifully because they regularly prune them. The more you prune, the more lushly they grow. All those pruned parts can be used for cuttings, and the succulents will multiply more and more. For those old stems and natural clusters, you can stop pruning after they fill out the pot.

3. The benefits of pulling off leaves

Some succulents like to grow upward, so they rarely grow side shoots, and over time they become old stems.

There is still only one succulent in the pot, so you need to regularly pull off leaves and toss the leaves directly into the flowerpot, slowly filling the empty pot, and gradually they will fill out the pot.

4. Some succulents will grow side shoots after beheading, and gradually they can fill out the pot.

But some succulents do not like clustering, and beheading still cannot solve the problem.

Echeveria 'Comic Tom' really does not like clustering, so by no means try beheading. If you want it to fill out the pot, the simplest method is leaf propagation.

5. Trailing growth and runners. For all succulents of this type that mainly reproduce through side shoots, when conditions are relatively harsh, the side shoots stretch out very long.

If nutrients are sufficient and conditions are suitable, the side shoots are relatively short, and the side shoots tend to grow around the mother plant.

If a trailing succulent finds its own growth difficult, you can cut off the side shoots for propagation.
