Succulent old stumps get more beautiful with age: a long growing process to be treasured every step of the way

Adorable succulents are extremely appealing, and more and more people are growing them. We all know that caring for succulents is a long and happy affair, from a tiny succulent seedling to a plump, chubby old stump. Some succulent growers say that the more you grow succulents, the more beautiful they get, and growing a succulent old stump is something to be truly proud of, because succulent old stumps really do get "more beautiful with age"!

Some beginner succulent growers may ask: how long do you have to care for a succulent old stump before it becomes an old stump? And are old stumps really as beautiful as people say?

For those growers with such questions, what I want to say is that growing a succulent old stump is a long process, and through this long process, treasure every step of the way! And as for whether succulent old stumps are really beautiful, what I want to say is: fellow grower, have you perhaps seen old stumps from leggy succulents? Have you seen a true succulent old stump?

First you need to understand the difference between a leggy succulent and a true succulent old stump, so don't confuse the two. To put it plainly, a leggy old stump is simply called a "leggy stump." A leggy stump generally has rather dull, dark leaves, a big head on a thin stalk, and this kind of

old stump's stalk has no elasticity at all; it is entirely an old stump manufactured by a leggy succulent. Its stress resistance is relatively poor, and its later growth will stay this way with no change.

A true old stump, in contrast, is a vigorous plant that has grown for a very long time, with the succulent already having a main trunk or main side trunks forming a clustered colony, and the succulent's leaves are thick, plump, juicy and chubby. The formation of an old stump is a long process.

To avoid its stem breaking or the whole plant toppling over roots and all, the succulent's root and stem cells produce lignin; this lignin gradually deposits in the cell walls, and this is the process by which a succulent old stump slowly forms. Through this long process, treasure every step of the way!

We all know that haste makes waste, and caring for a succulent old stump is the same: you can't be impatient, you need patience and care. During the care process you must water the succulent less and expose it to more light, though this doesn't mean baking it in the sun; keep it in a ventilated environment, and when it receives light, regularly turn the succulent's pot so that the succulent receives light evenly.

In fact, all it takes is careful and patient care, and the succulent old stump you grow will only get more and more beautiful!
