Hi, Stimit! :) The beauty of succulents is that the same plant can look completely different. These wonderful plants change under the influence of stress. That is, we ourselves can influence how the succulent looks, creating stress for it.
What we call stress for succulents is actually its natural conditions of life: the scorching sun in the daytime, the frequent lack of moisture and nightly cold weather (that is, sudden changes in temperature)
Succulents provide a huge space for experimentation. I will show you how the same succulent graptosedum bronze differs in different conditions. There are many plants in a large pot, the soil is poorer. Due to the tight fit, the plants compete, each receives less moisture. Consequently, a brighter color, fewer leaves.
In a small pot, everything is different. Young cuttings, a lot of free soil not yet developed by the root system. The plants do not interfere with each other, they receive a sufficient amount of moisture for each, the leaves grow large, the color is almost green.
Knowing these simple conditions, you can regulate the appearance of your succulents and their growth rate.
I like compact fluffy bushes, and I also have limited space, so in my collection I keep several plants in one pot. :)
P.S. Yesterday a group of people voted against several of my posts. I have not received any warning or explanation of the reasons. Tell me what I'm doing wrong. :) Sorry if the photos of my succulents and the information of my posts offends someone else’s feelings. I didn’t want it! :)
