Succulent plants have high ornamental value and have always been loved by the vast community of flower enthusiasts. Succulents grow slowly, and generally show no change for several months, but as everyone knows, some succulents grow very fast and very easily fill a pot. Today let's take a look at the "most" among those succulents.

1. The succulent that most easily fills a pot

The succulent that most easily fills a pot is without doubt Sedum dasyphyllum 'Major' (Corsican stonecrop). With just a little neglect it can fill a whole large pot. Although it is rather small, it can grow like crazy, and its tiny leaves clustered together look very beautiful. Sedum dasyphyllum 'Major' is very suitable for placing on a windowsill or balcony with plenty of light, as an indoor accent plant.

2. The most expensive succulent

When it comes to the most expensive succulent, it is without doubt Haworthia cooperi 'Neon' (neon jade plant). Its leaves are dark green, dazzling and beautiful like gemstones, but it is relatively difficult to care for; it cannot take sun, nor shade. The best method is generally to place it in a spot on the windowsill with diffused light, and it must not receive direct sunlight.

3. The most peculiar succulent

When it comes to the most peculiar succulent, that is because its leaves are four-pointed stars, stacked layer upon layer, just like an ancient pagoda. The growing season of Haworthia cooperi var. pilifera (square pagoda) is in spring and autumn,

It has low requirements for water and light, and can generally be placed in partial shade for care. In ordinary care, just keep the plant's root system from becoming too dry.

4. The easiest succulent to grow

When it comes to the easiest succulent to grow, I believe every succulent lover has their own choice. Here I will talk about the easiest succulent to grow in this editor's mind, and that is Sedum rubrotinctum (jelly bean plant). Sedum rubrotinctum is green with a glossy surface, and under sufficient light it turns bright red. Its growth rate is very fast, so you need to ensure sufficient light so that it grows compactly, and it very easily grows into an old stem.

Many succulent lovers have encountered the situation of succulents growing leggy. Once they start growing leggy, no matter how you look at them they seem off: the stems are thin and tender, the leaves are sparse and narrow, and on top of that they have no upright posture, leaning east and west. Although after growing leggy, then going through wind and sun, they turn into "fake old stems", this also requires a long time. If you cannot wait and cannot stand it, beheading is the most effective method to deal with leggy growth.

You can select the position on the succulent plant to behead, then cut. Then remove the 2~4 leaves at the base of the cut-off head, making it convenient for the cut-off head to be inserted into the soil and take root; the base left after cutting the head stays in the original pot without moving. After pruning, place it in a ventilated spot to dry the roots. Insert the head whose wound has healed into new soil, and the head will regain its compact beautiful appearance. The leaves that were pulled off are used for leaf propagation; each leaf nurtures a new life. After beheading, the old roots, because apical dominance has been removed, will send out many side branches, forming a multi-headed plant.
