Everyone loves old piles, and I love old piles the most. After raising meat for so many years, I have seen a lot of old piles. The old pile is domineering, graceful, or beautiful, each with its own beauty. Succulent old piles have a unique shape beauty, and each unique beauty of old piles is irreproducible beauty. Old piles are formed after the stems of succulents have been lignified for a long time. The old pile represents the precipitation of time. As time passes, the growth point on the lignified stem closes, and no new leaves grow on this stem, and the old pile is formed.

If you want to quickly turn a succulent into an old stake, you can use a long-term water cut-off method. Cutting off water will allow plants to accelerate metabolism and continuously absorb nutrients from the bottom leaves to replenish the main body of the plant. The bottom leaves continue to grow and are absorbed, and the lignification process accelerates. But don't let the plant dry out. Watering, growing new leaves, cutting off water, absorbing old leaves. Repeatedly carry out such operations, and the old pile will naturally grow.

It takes time and energy to cultivate succulents from a single plant of 4-5cm to an old stump, and not all succulents can be cultivated into good-looking old piles, mainly succulents of the Crassulaceae family.

What is an old pile?

Old piles refer to those old succulent plants that have grown for many years and have obvious trunks or branches. The general succulent old stakes are all plants of the Crassulaceae family. It takes as little as 1-2 years to grow old piles as much as 3-5 years, and it depends on the growth of the succulents. If you throw away time, then flower lovers don't need to do anything, and the succulents will form the form of old piles by themselves.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, the use of succulents to create pseudo-old piles. Many businesses do this in order to make a profit, and the method is also very simple, put the succulents in a place where there is a lack of light and let them grow, and then break off the lower leaves to make succulent "old piles". However, this method, the old pile cultivated, has a lot of places that can be transformed, and different flower friends will also have different styles of old pile works.

Succulent old piles refer to succulents that have been maintained for many years and have been lignified in the branches. By the way, I will tell you what is a pseudo-old pile? Pseudo-old pile is the old pile formed after breaking off the leaves on the succulent pole of the leggy, also known as water pile, which means that the stake with a large moisture content, generally the pseudo-old pile is easy to identify, the pseudo-old pile is generally greener, the moisture content is also very large, and the growth point on the pole is very spaced, and the growth point on the real old pile is very small.

How long does it take to develop an old pile?

Generally speaking, it generally takes 3-5 years for normal succulents to grow into old piles, some varieties or even longer, and it may take a year at the earliest, and some people say that it is also related to the variety, such as the villain sacrifice and the lignification of Ruo Ge Shi are very fast, that is, a matter of a few months. In addition, the usual maintenance pays more attention to external factors such as light and water control, which have a great effect on the development of Laozhuang.

How to raise succulent rainbow jade piles?

1. Cultivate the old pile of rainbow jade to be patient and wait for the natural replacement of the old and new leaves. The old leaves below continue to consume themselves to provide nutrients and water to the growth point, and after drying and falling off, the main trunk will gradually become one of the visual highlights.

2. The key points of cultivation are very simple, rainbow jade plants need strong indoor light irradiation and a dry growth environment. Therefore, in addition to the placement, watering must be controlled, preferring drought rather than waterlogging. Usually do not water as long as the leaves in the middle layer do not appear slightly wilted and wrinkled, so as not to leggy. During the peak growing season, you can give a thin liquid fertilizer once a month.

The speed of cultivating old piles varies greatly due to different varieties of succulents, and the faster piles are the sedum family of the Crassulaceae genus such as jade butterfly, and the pile formation speed of thin leaves is very slow (such as: Guanyin lotus), which is related to the thickness of the leaves. The number of leaves is small and the leaves are thick and the pile formation speed is fast, so the selection of this type of plant cultivation will bear initial results in two years.
