Succulents are small and adorable, favored by many succulent lovers. But many people complain that they grow too slowly, and after months of care they still look the same, not growing any bigger at all.

Actually, there are quite a few fast-growing succulent varieties. In just a few months they can grow into a cascade. Come and see what varieties they are!

String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus & String of Tears) Cascade

How to make String of Pearls grow faster?

1.If you want the beads of String of Pearls and String of Tears to be round and plump, green and luscious, you can spray more water on the beads. You can add a little monopotassium phosphate or 1 granule of compound fertilizer to the water, and they will grow faster.

2. Does not like strong sunlight, it is best to place it on a south-facing balcony behind glass. Watering once every 1-2 weeks is enough; too much water easily causes root rot.

String of Coins Cascade

How to make String of Coins grow faster?

1. String of Coins also likes water more than other succulents. When you see the soil is dry, soak it, letting water seep in from the bottom of the pot so the roots can fully absorb the moisture.

2. Give it more sun, and provide appropriate shade in summer. If you want it to propagate more, you can behead it. Cuttings from the beheaded tops can be planted, and the remaining mother plant will sprout more small heads.

Sedum 'Burrito'

How to make Sedum 'Burrito' grow faster?

1. Sedum 'Burrito' is relatively drought-tolerant. Like other Crassulaceae succulents, it prefers well-draining soil. If drainage is poor, it is very easy for water to accumulate in the pot and cause root rot. In daily care of Sedum 'Burrito,' be careful not to touch it often, because touching it easily causes the leaves to fall off.

2. During the dormant period and on days when winter temperatures are low, reduce watering. On the contrary, in summer, slightly increase the watering frequency to cool them down, and avoid watering under strong midday light. When watering, also water the soil and try not to water the leaves, because the leaves have a thin layer of white powder that easily falls off due to watering or touching.

How to make Purple Moon grow faster?

1. It has almost no dormant season, but watering should be reduced during high summer temperatures. If it lacks water, the leaves will wrinkle, and after watering they will plump up again the next day. In the early stage of rooting, it does not need much water. Once the root system grows strong, it will grow explosively like crazy. Among all kinds of trailing succulents, it should be the fastest-growing one.

2. The propagation method is leaf propagation or cutting propagation. Because it grows extremely fast, cutting propagation is the fastest and easiest way to achieve survival. Cut off a section and insert it into the soil and it can survive.

Sedum dasyphyllum

How to make Oscularia deltoides grow faster?

1、In spring weather around 20-plus degrees, watering once every one or two weeks is no problem. Of course, in dry places you can appropriately spray some water into the air, like in Yunnan and Beijing, but in coastal areas or humid inland areas, skip it. If too much water is given, the roots cannot breathe well, and the final result is root rot.Roots are the fundamental life of a plant. Once the roots die, of course the whole plant dies.

2、Different light intensity also causes different color states in Sedum dasyphyllum. If someone likes emerald green, then reduce the light duration. If someone likes the cute pink, then increase the light duration.If someone likes ruby red, then it is not only related to light, but also related to temperature difference.

There are more than these 6 succulents that can grow into cascades,

There are also Stringy Stonecrop, Sedum 'Harry Butterfield,' Graptopetalum paraguayense, Pachyveria 'Clavifolia,' and so on...
