#echeveria#florarium#succulents If your Echeveria has stretched out and started to look like a Christmas tree, in this video you will learn how to bring the plant back to its original appearance. Due to lack of light, especially after winter, succulents stretch out a lot and lose their former decorative effect. This is especially harmful to the concept of rock gardens (florariums), which, according to the idea, should be miniature. In nature, Echeverias also do not always look like compact rosettes, and as they age, they stretch out into long bare vines with a bunch of leaves at the end. Therefore, this type of succulents needs annual rejuvenation. This is quite easy to do. The ideal time for rejuvenation is from the end of February to mid-summer. 1. It is advisable not to water the plant for a couple of weeks before the procedure, so that excess moisture goes away. 2. Cut the plant at ground level, you can keep the remaining stump, it will also produce babies. 3. Clean the trunk from leaves, leaving a few at the top. 4. Cut the leg, leaving about a centimeter, maybe less. 5. Place the cuttings in any container (not deep) and put in diffused light in a ventilated place (for example, on the refrigerator). 6. Wait for the roots to appear (about a month) 7. Plant the cuttings in a mixture of turf soil and coarse sand or in soil for succulents and cacti. 8. Water moderately, so as not to drown. If necessary, repeat the procedure in a year.
