Why is the price of succulent so expensive?

1. The reproduction speed is extremely slow

The growth and reproduction of Vientiane is extremely slow. Generally, it takes seven to eight years for Vientiane planted through seeds to mature into a mature plant. Other methods of propagation include root cuttings, leaf cuttings, and beheading. The speed at which seedlings grow and mature plants is also very slow. Therefore, it usually takes a long time to cultivate a new variety in gardening, so this largely determines the price of Vientiane. Moreover, the lines on the Vientiane appear on one leaf at a time. Generally, you have to wait until a Vientiane grows into a plant before the lines slowly begin to appear. If you want to wait until all the leaves have lines, it may take more than ten years. Therefore, the price of Vientiane is very high, and this is one of the reasons.

2. It is also difficult to breed and raise.

There is a certain degree of difficulty in maintaining Vientiane and breeding it. If you want to grow the Vientiane to perfection, you need to use very good techniques. Things like leaf breaking and root propagation will have a certain impact on the appearance of the Vientiane, so it is more difficult to manage when growing it.

3. The price is also determined by appearance

The prices in the market in Vientiane are sometimes more expensive and sometimes cheaper. In fact, it depends on whether it looks good. Generally, the more beautiful the patterns, the larger the window surface, the better and taller the plant shape, and the shorter the leaves, the higher the price will be. So its price also depends on its appearance.

4. Merchants pursue huge profits

The low price of tissue culture has now attracted many novice flower lovers and cultivated a lot of succulent markets. However, merchants in the market often pursue huge profits and will exaggerate how good tissue culture is. In addition, many people will start to choose those that are not tissue cultured after raising low-priced tissue cultures. In this way, the market demand has begun to grow, and the price of Vientiane has gradually increased. So this is also an important reason why Vientiane is expensive.
