What to do when succulents get leggy? Two cuts and you'll easily have several extra pots

Gardeners who love growing succulents all know that in summer, because of the high temperature and high humidity, succulents easily get leggy, meaning they just keep growing taller, but their ornamental value is extremely low. So what should be done? Today the editor will introduce a little trick: we can "behead" the leggy succulent, and all at once we can get many pots from it.

We can use the cut-off parts of the succulent for cuttings. The soil for cuttings is best loose and breathable, and the soil must be kept sufficiently moist. You can cover it with a layer of plastic film so it grows faster. During care, we need to pay attention: a cool, ventilated place is enough, you can poke a few small holes in the film, and spray some water regularly; this way the succulent will grow faster. During care, be careful not to be a "itchy-hands person" who flicks it whenever there is nothing to do, as this will affect its cutting success rate.

To prevent succulents from growing leggy, we must keep the light sufficient. Usually they can be kept by the window, where ventilation is good. In addition, watering must be done in the right amount; succulents are especially prone to getting leggy when short of water in summer. Because succulents reproduce especially quickly, it is best to repot once a year, so the succulent will not grow taller but only grow more, and it can also get sufficient nutrients.

Gardeners who love succulents can try this little trick: no more leggy growth, one pot becomes many pots. If you have any other flower-growing experience, you can also share it with everyone in the comment box below!
