How to grow the succulent Sempervivum 'Guanyinlian': master these few points and it will easily fill a pot

The succulent Sempervivum 'Guanyinlian' is a fairly ordinary plant, but it spreads its leaves out in all directions, making it look to people like a blooming lotus flower. It is not only beautiful but also relatively easy to grow. Below, the editor will introduce to everyone how to grow the succulent Sempervivum 'Guanyinlian' and how mastering these few points will easily fill a pot.

1. The first thing to prepare well is a small flower pot, because the offsets of this plant are basically on the smaller side, so there is no need to use too large a pot when planting it. If it grows larger later on, then you can consider repotting it then. As for the soil, Sempervivum 'Guanyinlian' is a fairly tough kind, and relatively speaking it is not very picky. Generally, just choose ordinary garden soil with a bit of coarse sand added, but be careful that it does not become too compacted.

2. What should be added is this: you should know that the best time to propagate Sempervivum 'Guanyinlian' is in spring and autumn, because the temperatures in these two seasons are both quite suitable for the growth of Sempervivum 'Guanyinlian', especially in autumn. Without waiting until late autumn, in this season the Sempervivum 'Guanyinlian' will propagate relatively quickly. If it is winter and too cold, the temperature will be relatively low, and at this time it will be very difficult for it to survive if you try to grow it.

3. Pick off the small seedlings. Some have aerial roots, while some do not, but that does not matter either. Plant or insert them into a pot with sand. Remember, you must not pull off all the stems below those small seedlings, because those may later turn into roots. Generally, after more than a week, small roots may grow out.

4. Water thoroughly, and be sure to place it in a shady spot and wait for it to grow roots. During this period, if you see that the potting soil is too dry, then remember to give it a moderate amount of water, but remember that you cannot water it every day. If you water too much, this may make the inside turn muddy, and instead it may affect its root growth.

5. However, you must ensure that it can receive diffused light. After about a week, you can see signs of growth in the pot. Then turn the pot upside down, or turn it on its side. At this time you can gently pull the small seedling. If you feel that it cannot be pulled, then this proves that it has already grown roots. If this is the case at this time, then place it in the sun and water it normally.

6. If the propagated small seedlings are cared for well, then in about a few months or half a year they can grow quite large. Around after the spring of the second year, they will basically have grown quite large.
