One trick to make succulents young and fresh again - they'll live at least several more years

Succulents have thick, fleshy leaves and sturdy stems, and are fairly drought-tolerant. Most succulent lovers also think that as long as they care for their succulents according to their habits, pay attention to watering, give them plenty of sun and fertilize appropriately, the succulents will definitely grow strong and healthy. In fact, this is not the case: if you do not repot your succulents for a long time, they will still grow very slowly.

Apart from the dormant period, succulents generally grow in all other seasons, and spring and autumn are the best growing seasons for succulents. At this time, you need to repot your succulents into a larger pot in time, so that they have enough room to grow and the roots can grow thicker and stronger.

1. Generally speaking, once the soil used for planting succulents is more than one year old, its nutrients drop greatly. This is especially true for granular soil, which turns into powder and becomes the same composition as soil, but it will wrap around the succulent roots, making it difficult for the roots to breathe. Too much watering then easily causes root rot.

2. Generally speaking, aerial roots on succulents are a sign that the succulent is growing vigorously, but if the succulent leaves become rather soft at this time, it is very likely that the potting soil has poor air permeability, and then you need to repot quickly.

3. If the succulent leaves grow so densely that they fill the pot, you also need to repot the succulent into a larger pot. Otherwise, the interior of the succulent will not have good ventilation, which can easily lead to pests and diseases.

4. If the potting soil becomes compacted, you also need to repot in time. Otherwise, watering will easily make the inside of the pot too wet and smother the succulent roots, so at this point you also need to repot in time.

5. If there are many withered leaves at the base of the succulent that are hard to deal with, it is best to repot quickly as well and clean up the withered leaves in time. Otherwise, pests and diseases can easily appear in the hot summer.
