I believe that for friends who love succulents, "filling the pot" can be said to be a state everyone loves. However, to grow succulents until they fill the pot, choosing the right varieties is very important. So, which succulents are easy to grow until they fill the pot?

1. Sedum dasyphyllum

Sedum dasyphyllum is one of the easiest succulents to fill its pot. Although it belongs to the pot-cover grass series, it is also extremely easy to color up and fill its pot when planted alone. A Sedum dasyphyllum in good condition shows red and blue colors, and its chubby leaves also make it look very cute. Sedum dasyphyllum is commonly propagated by sowing, leaf cuttings, stem cuttings and division. Stem cuttings can be done throughout the year and root very easily, with spring and autumn being best. Cut a short branch with compact leaves at the tip, 5-7 cm long, keep the cutting medium slightly moist, and it will root in 10-12 days after insertion.

2. Graptopetalum mendozae

Graptopetalum mendozae is a variety that is very easy to propagate. When transplanting, it is easy to accidentally knock off a large handful of leaves. The fallen leaves can be placed slightly tilted or flat on vermiculite, peat or coconut coir in spring or autumn, kept slightly moist, and they will soon root at the base and grow new buds, so Graptopetalum mendozae easily grows in clusters. Because it is simple to propagate and easy to fill its pot, Graptopetalum mendozae has become a beautiful succulent that almost every succulent lover keeps a pot of, and the pale pink color it shows when in good condition fascinates many people.

3. Orostachys boehmeri

Anyone who has grown Orostachys boehmeri knows its reproductive ability. In warm spring, as long as you dare to water it and dare to give it a larger pot, Orostachys boehmeri will dare to give you as many little offsets as it can! Orostachys boehmeri, of the genus Orostachys, can be propagated by dividing side shoots. Cut off a side shoot about the size of a coin and place it flat or insert it into the soil, and it will soon root, so if you want a pot of Orostachys boehmeri that fills its pot, you have to steel your heart and keep pruning the side shoots.

4. Sedum stahlii

The propagation method of Sedum stahlii is both simple and rough: as long as the fallen parts of the plant are inserted into the soil, they can survive.

5. Sedum rubrotinctum

Sedum rubrotinctum is also a variety that is very easy to propagate. Although its leaves are small, its vitality is unusually strong! Filling its pot is also easy for it. The method used is leaf-cutting propagation. This succulent has a high success rate with leaf cuttings, is very easy to grow, and is also very beautiful when in good condition. If you usually control watering well and increase sunlight, it will show extremely rich colors.

6. Sedum hispanicum

Also a classic pot-cover grass series, easy to propagate, and whether you behead it or just leave it alone, it will form a large cluster, a real pot-filling tool!

7. Senecio rowleyanus

Among the several propagation methods for Senecio rowleyanus, stem cuttings are the simplest and also the easiest way to fill the pot. For Senecio rowleyanus, rooting is an easy matter. In summer, when the weather is hot and the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, its growth rate will noticeably decline.

8. Sempervivum tectorum

Sempervivum tectorum can be propagated by division and stem cuttings. The best propagation time is summer, when the temperature is relatively high. It grows fastest at the optimal temperature between 20 degrees and 30 degrees.

Graptosedum 'Bronze' propagates extremely fast, especially by leaf cuttings, with a success rate of almost 100%, making it the top choice for beginners starting with leaf cuttings.

10. Bryophyllum

Bryophyllum is also called air plant, and it is truly the super-birth champion. You can see that every leaf has countless growth points, and the little plantlets grow from here! Friends who buy two or more at once can just sit back and wait for their home to be overrun by Bryophyllum! Bryophyllum is usually propagated by cuttings, adventitious buds and sowing. For cuttings, the best propagation season is during May-June. Place the leaves on a sand bed, keep it moist, and small plantlets can grow in 1 week after insertion. Once grown, cut them off and move them into pots. For stem cuttings, cut 8-10 cm long stem tips, let them dry slightly, then insert them into a sand bed. They begin to root after 1 week and can be potted after 2 weeks.
