When we grow succulents at home, keeping them alive is easy, but making them look good is a bit harder, so when growing succulents normally, you have to shape them. The editor knows a succulent grower who said his succulents at home were "acting up," and he had prepared a "demon-binding rope" to shape them.

Preparing a "demon-binding rope" for succulents

This pot of succulents belonging to this grower was not obedient - what we call "acting up." It grew outward too much; these past few days it was put in the sun and grew too spread out. To restore it to a compact state, the grower simply tied it up like this!

Another grower saw this and got interested too, asking, how did you get this "demon-binding rope"? This grower said, this string is the thread used for sewing quilts, haha, so familiar. We might as well call it the "demon-binding rope." Actually, to shape succulents, you need to pay attention to care details in normal times; tying it up like this treats the symptom, not the root cause.

Succulent care and shaping

First, during care, rotate the pot often so that every angle of the succulent receives light evenly. In this way, its plant shape and color depth will be consistent, and the succulent will look prettier. As for this pot-rotating technique, the editor suggests beginner growers study it well.

Second, during normal care, to prevent it from getting bigger, it is best to use organic fertilizer with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements when fertilizing. Do not use only one kind of fertilizer; with single-nutrient nutrition, it will only grow taller and will soon grow crooked and deformed beyond control.

Furthermore, when caring for succulents, you must learn to control watering. When there is not enough light, do not give too much water. Most healthy succulent plants are not afraid of too much water; the more you give, the taller they grow, and the further they get from being beautiful. So, for home succulent care, you have to learn the points above to shape them.
