How do you plump up succulents? Four simple and effective tips

As we all know, the succulent world is probably one of the few kingdoms that considers plumpness beautiful, and the plumper they are, the more endearing. But many plant lovers still grow theirs scrawny and pitiful. Hurry up and learn a few tricks to make them plump.

First, control the water. Generally speaking, when a succulent lacks water, its leaves become thinner, so some plant lovers think that watering more will make succulents plump. In fact, too much water only makes succulents grow weak and leggy.

So we need to control water for succulents appropriately, giving them a sense of crisis about lacking water. Over time, they will use their own leaves to store water, and only then will the leaves become round and thick.

The second is to give them more sun. Many plant lovers like to keep succulents indoors as decoration, such as in offices or on bookshelves. With too much of that and a long-term lack of light, they naturally grow more and more listless, and day by day they waste away.

Sunlight is a necessity for succulent growth and also a catalyst for plumping up. Sufficient sunlight can bring succulents into good condition. The third is to increase the temperature difference. We all know that a large day-night temperature difference is very beneficial for the accumulation of nutrients.

Succulents can fully absorb nutrients from the soil during the day. At night, when the temperature is low, the activity of substances inside the succulent weakens, and the consumption of nutrients decreases accordingly. It can fully store nutrients, and naturally it will plump up, just like people: eat and do not move, and that is how a fat person is made.
