4 Simple and Effective Tricks to Make Succulents Plump Up - Grown This Way They're Chubby and Super Cute

As we all know, the succulent world is probably one of the few "kingdoms" where chubbiness is beauty - the chubbier, the more endearing. But many flower lovers still grow theirs thin and scraggly, not attractive at all.

Some gardening friends think that watering more will make succulents plump up. In fact, too much water only makes the stems and roots grow larger, causing leggy growth. So we need to control water appropriately for succulents, giving them a deep sense of crisis. Over time, they will learn to store water in their leaves, and only then will the leaves become round and thick.

Second, give them plenty of sun. Many gardening friends like to keep succulents indoors as decoration, such as on office desks or bookshelves. Most of them lack light for a long time, so naturally they become more and more listless and gradually waste away.

Third, sunlight is a necessity for succulent growth and also a catalyst for plumping up. Ample sunlight makes it easier for succulents to develop a good appearance.

Fourth, increase the temperature difference. We all know that the temperature difference between day and night is very beneficial for nutrient accumulation. With a large day-night temperature difference, succulents can fully absorb nutrients from the soil during the day.

At night, when the temperature is low, the internal metabolic activity of the succulent weakens, and nutrient consumption decreases accordingly. It can fully store the nutrients, so naturally it will plump up.
