Recently, a gardening enthusiast shared a method for changing succulent colors on Baidu Tieba. The editor was very curious - succulents can actually be artificially colored?

This forum member said they found a method in the library for changing succulent colors by growing succulents with carrots, and they posted the method:

This method looks quite simple and very easy to carry out. After composting carrots into fertilizer and giving it to succulents, you can turn succulents that originally have green leaves into the rare red and yellow colors. The editor is half-believing and half-doubting this, and also wants to find time to try it, or is there any succulent-growing expert who can share whether this is really possible?

When the editor usually grows succulents, coloring depends entirely on cultivation. The first key element is light. Sufficient light is the most basic requirement for coloring. The second point is temperature difference. The temperature difference in spring can make succulents color quickly. Besides these two points, there is also the use of fertilizer.

When usually growing succulents, fertilization uses organic nutrient solution specially made for succulents. The reason for not using chemical fertilizer is that succulent roots are shallow, and burning the roots is not a fun thing, so it is still better to choose the green and safe Huadongde organic nutrient solution, which promotes roots and has no peculiar smell.

Have any gardening enthusiasts tried using carrots to color succulents? What are your succulents usually like?
