How to cultivate succulent plants Lao Zhuang and what is Lao Zhuang?

After years of growth, the stems are lignified, and the old succulent plants with obvious trunk and branches are called old piles. The old heap represents the precipitation of time. With the passage of time, the growing point on the lignified stem is closed, and no new leaves grow on this stem, forming an old pile. Sedum plants are generally the main ones that can cultivate beautiful old piles It takes as little as one or two years to cultivate old piles, and as much as three or five years. More importantly, the state of the meat itself.

Be patient. Slowly waiting for the natural replacement of new and old leaves, here is an explanation. Some "pseudo-old piles" are deliberately made by meat farmers, and then the leaves are broken off. The old pile obtained in this way has no aesthetic feeling at all. Adequate light and dry environment are the most important environmental factors for the growth of old piles. Watering must be controlled, rather than drought. Under normal circumstances, as long as the leaves in the middle layer do not appear slightly withered and wrinkled, do not water them to avoid overgrowth.

Because this will speed up the metabolism of plants and constantly absorb nutrients from the bottom leaves to supplement the main body of plants. The bottom leaves grow and are absorbed, and the lignification process will be accelerated. But be careful not to let the plants dry up. Thin liquid fertilizer can be applied once a month during the growing season. Water, grow new leaves, cut off water and absorb old leaves. Repeat this operation and the old pile will grow naturally.
