Do Succulent Buddha Beads Need to be Paved?

1. No need to pave

Paving means laying a layer of paving stones on the surface of the soil after the plants are planted to help fix the plants and increase the aesthetics of the entire potted plant. In addition, paving can reduce the chance of plants being infested by insects. However, when raising Buddhist beads, there is no need to pave the surface for them.

2. Reasons for not laying

1. It grows relatively fast and has a very lush plant shape. After it grows well, the branches will cover the entire pot. Therefore, even if it is paved with paving stones, it cannot be observed. And usually, people will hang it high up so that the paving stone can't be seen.

2. Its roots grow from the nodes and then take root in the soil. If a layer of paving stones is laid on the soil surface, it will increase the difficulty for its roots to enter the soil, which is not conducive to root growth. And it has firm roots, so there is no need to use paving stones to help fix it.

3. As long as you keep it in a well-ventilated place, give it some sunlight, and don't water it excessively, it is not easy to be infested by insects. Therefore, there is no need to pave it to prevent it from being infested with insects.
