Beautiful succulents each have their own charm. Even for the same variety, using different pots and planting methods can produce unexpected results.



Echeveria and Ruby purchased at the same time, planted in different pots - what changes will occur?
The one below is a large mixed arrangement.

Small Ruby plant. And a macaron flower pot. Back then, macaron flower pots were truly so popular.


This is a tiny seedling Ruby


Echeveria


Another Echeveria.


The above are what they looked like when they first came home. Now, let's see how they turned out growing in different homes.
This Echeveria has sprouted a full ring of pups.

The Echeveria below has grown taller and become more beautiful.


This tiny seedling made a perfect comeback.


Here are a few more photos of the beautiful girl who made a comeback.


The Ruby below has already filled its pot. The roots have filled it too, so it was repotted.

You're not seeing things - this really is the same Ruby. Ruby's growth rate is amazing. As for its condition, well, let's just say haha.



What happened to the large mixed arrangement?
Clearly, it hasn't grown much taller. Let's move them to a new home - this arrangement can no longer contain them.


The Ruby taken out had its leaves stripped and was beheaded. Although small in size, the stem is noticeably thick.


This Echeveria is the same - although small in size, the stem is noticeably much thicker.







Then, they moved to new homes.



If you want your succulents to grow fast, you can choose a pot one or two sizes larger.
If you choose a small pot, you have to accept the reality that your succulents will grow slowly and wait patiently for them to become beautiful. As for whether you prefer a large pot or a small pot, it's up to you.
Jingbao'er's experience is: rather a large succulent in a small pot than a small succulent in a large pot.
The two comparison photos below show succulents of similar size planted at the same time - one in a pot one size larger and one in a mixed arrangement - compared over one year.


Large has large's openness, small has small's refinement. Large has large's presence, small has small's spirit. Which one do you prefer?
