What is succulent stagnation? Common causes explained all at once

When your succulent has been grown for a very, very long time and still shows no growth, then it might be...

When you find that a certain succulent has shown no sign of growth for a long time (3 months or longer), its leaves gradually wrinkle and shrink, and its color basically does not change, then it should be a "stagnant seedling."

This is usually because the root system of this succulent has developed problems, causing it to be unable to absorb water and nutrients for a long time. In the short term, the succulent relies on its own stored nutrients to sustain life; over time, once these are used up, it dies.

After we discover a "stagnant seedling," we should take it out of the soil, trim off all the roots that have turned black and rotted, clean up the dried and withered leaves at the bottom, and soak the root system in a carbendazim solution for 1 minute.

After taking it out, let it dry in scattered light, then after 2 days plant it in new soil. You can spray a little water on the soil surface to keep a certain moist environment, which helps new roots grow out.

When you gently move the succulent with your hand and it does not easily get knocked askew, that means new roots have grown and begun to grip the soil, and you can water normally.

The "stagnant seedling" phenomenon does not occur very often, so everyone does not need to worry too much. Among the succulents I grow myself, I have only seen two become stagnant, haha. After new roots grow out, the succulent slowly recovers its condition.
