Detailed Guide to Succulent Potted Plant Care Methods and Tips (Part Four)

For succulent fans who have just gotten into the hobby, the issue they care about most is surely the growth condition of their succulents. Actually, when the editor first got into the hobby, I also always felt that my succulents were not growing well, but I simply wanted to dig them out and see what on earth was going on.

Later, through accumulating experience, the editor also discovered that the health of a succulent plant can actually be judged from the plumpness of its leaves, its color and its state of development. Next, the editor will introduce some little facts about succulent plants through the plumpness of succulent leaves, and I hope it will help those who are confused!

First, we need to know that the health of a succulent can be judged by observing its leaves. For example, if it is a newly cuttings-propagated succulent and its leaves appear shriveled, that means the succulent is definitely short of water. If two to three days after watering the succulent's condition still has not recovered, then it can be concluded that the succulent's root system has not yet grown well.

Of course, we can also first check whether there is a problem with our own soil mix. If there is no problem with the soil mix or the leaves either, then we just have to wait patiently. Do not be like a curious baby and pull the succulent right out to check, because this will not only affect the succulent's growth rate but may also lead to the succulent's death.

Special reminder: when taking cuttings, be sure to keep the temperature above 15°C, otherwise it will be very difficult for the succulent to recover to a normal growth state.
