How to grow the Tower of Red succulent, what kind of pot to use, and what to do if it grows too tall?

1. How to raise

1. Water: It is not tolerant to waterlogging, so wait until the soil is dry before watering. Normally it is watered once a week. The amount of water should not be too much, and there should be no accumulation of water, otherwise it will easily lead to the death of the plant.

2. Temperature: It likes a warm environment, and normal room temperature is generally best. In winter, you must keep warm and the temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees, otherwise it will cause frost damage and affect growth.

3. Light: It is a light-loving plant and should be placed in a place with good light to allow it to get more sun. However, if there is strong light, it should be blocked in time to avoid sunburn of the leaves. But insufficient light can also cause its leaves to turn yellow and become dull.

4. Soil: Generally, loose and permeable sandy soil is selected for cultivation. Garden soil like that in a garden is generally more suitable.

2. Select a pot

Its growth rate is considered fast among succulents, and it needs to be repotted every two or three years. Choose a flowerpot with larger drainage holes at the bottom, otherwise it will affect the discharge of excess water. When maintaining it, you can choose ceramic material, which has the function of absorbing water.

3. Solutions to the problem of leggy growth

If excessive growth occurs, find out the cause in time and then take specific measures. If there is insufficient light, try to expose it to more sunlight and keep it in a place with good light. If too much fertilizer is applied, find a way to dilute the fertilizer as quickly as possible and drain the fertilizer water. Alternatively, you can use beheading to control excessive growth, and the cut leaves can be used for cuttings and propagation.
