So prolific, it grows a ring every year, and filling the pot is just too easy.

Growing flowers is too hard! Is there a flower that can fill the pot all by itself without much care? Although this idea is too naive, there is still a way to make it happen! The method is to plant the following flowers!

Hens and chicks (Sempervivum tectorum)

Hens and chicks is so tough that it can grow vigorously even in summer, and basically with a free-range style of care, it can fill the pot by the spring of the next year.

Hens and chicks likes an environment with plenty of light; provide appropriate shade in summer, and water only when the soil is dry. In spring and autumn, water 3-4 times a month; in summer, water 2-3 times a month.

If the flowerpot is big enough, the little hens and chicks that grow out will produce roots by themselves when they touch the soil and grow into new plants.

If you do not want to affect the shape of the mother plant, you can cut off the little hens and chicks with scissors, leave them in a bright, ventilated place to dry for half a day, and then insert them as cuttings into other pots.

After they grow roots, be sure to provide plenty of light.

Moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora)

Moss rose is what we all recognize as the flower that just will not die. One plant this year, dozens or even hundreds next year. If you want a full pot, choosing it is the right move!

The usual way for moss rose to fill a pot is self-seeding, that is, after your moss rose blooms this year, let it set seed and drop it into the pot soil by itself. Next year, without any care, it can sprout. Of course, the premise is that it must be placed outside in winter to go through the cold vernalization process.

There are also 2 artificial methods to fill the pot, which can be done separately or in combination, namely pinching + cuttings.

Pinching means that when the moss rose grows to more than 10 cm, cut off the taller branches, which will promote the sprouting of side buds. This lets a single moss rose also grow very large.

In addition, the moss rose branches we cut off can be directly inserted into the soil as cuttings and will survive after watering thoroughly. Insert the branches in a ring, and filling the pot becomes very easy!

Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)

Anyone who has grown spider plants knows that when spider plants propagate, they can simply run rampant. Pick off the little spider plants and stick them in soil and they will live!

For a spider plant that is almost growing into a waterfall, you can pick off the little spider plants on the stolons to use as cuttings.

Use sharp scissors to cut off the little spider plants, or gently pick them off by hand.

Replant the little spider plants into new flowerpots, water thoroughly once, and keep the soil somewhat loose.

Place the spider plant in a bright, ventilated place to recover; after 1-2 weeks it will take root.

Aloe

After aloe grows up, it will easily grow many small aloes at the place where the roots and stems connect, and as they keep growing they become a big potful.

If your pot is too small and there are too many small aloes, you can consider dividing the pot. Take the whole aloe family out of the pot and remove the soil,

Separate the small aloes from beside the mother plant.

Replant the separated small aloes into pots, not too densely, and note that the small aloes had best keep a few roots, as this makes it easier for them to survive.

Aloe likes light, but newly planted aloe should be placed in a bright, ventilated environment after repotting, and do not water too much.
