After a month without water and plenty of sun, the succulent suddenly burst out with 100 heads - truly spectacular

If you have grown succulents, you may have grown the Sempervivum 'Guanyin Lotus' (Sempervivum tectorum). The Guanyin Lotus is a very common succulent. Its leaves spread out in all directions like a blooming lotus flower. If it produces many small offsets, it is a house full of descendants, and even a small succulent can be quite spectacular

In feng shui, the Guanyin Lotus symbolizes good fortune and peace. It can usually be placed at home, and can also be placed beside a shrine as a blessing plant. It is a very auspicious potted plant. However, many friends grow a very large Guanyin Lotus that simply does not produce small offsets, and it is not very attractive either. Today we will talk about this problem

The succulent Guanyin Lotus (Sempervivum tectorum) is the easiest one to divide into heads. A potted plant grown from a cutting for one year can grow many heads. But there is a precondition: it has to be both thirsty and sunned to achieve this easily

A flower enthusiast had a Guanyin Lotus that did not produce offsets for a long time. Its leaves were thin and long, and its growth was vigorous. This is because the fertilizer and water were too abundant and the light was insufficient

If you want the Guanyin Lotus to produce more offsets, you need to control its water. That is, wait until the potting soil is dry and the leaves are a little soft, then water it thoroughly. In this way, the leaves will desperately store water in the leaves, and thus the leaves will become plump and large. If the fertilizer and water are too abundant, it will easily become leggy and lose its shape, making it unattractive

In addition, the light in early summer is not very strong yet, so give the Guanyin Lotus more sun. This can make the plant sturdy and produce more offsets. It is best to place it outdoors for open cultivation, because when sunlight comes through glass, the ultraviolet light is insufficient and cannot stimulate the succulent's desire to reproduce the next generation. So if conditions permit, it is still best to put it outdoors, where it will pop out offsets like crazy and the colors will also be beautiful

When the succulent Guanyin Lotus bursts with small heads, one leaf can produce one head. Under each leaf there is a bud point, and each can propagate a small Guanyin Lotus. So once it starts bursting, it will burst with many, with a single plant producing nearly 100 heads, which is incredibly spectacular. Therefore, if the succulent Guanyin Lotus does not grow small buds, just sun it. Sun it until the lower leaves begin to dry up, and then it will grow small seedlings.
