Hi Steemit! :) The beauty of succulents is that the same plant can look completely different. These wonderful plants change under the influence of stress. That is, we ourselves can influence the appearance of the succulent, creating stress for it.
What we call stress for succulents is actually its natural living conditions: the scorching sun, the frequent lack of moisture and the night cold.
Succulents provide a huge space for experimentation. For example, sedum nussbaumerianum, one and the same plant. In a large pot there are many plants, poorer soil. Due to tight planting, plants compete, each receives less moisture. Hence, a brighter color, less leaves.
In a small pot, everything is different. Young cuttings, a lot of free soil not yet developed by the root system. The plants do not interfere with each other, they receive a sufficient amount of moisture for each, the leaves grow large, the color is almost green.
Knowing these simple conditions, you can regulate the appearance of your succulents and their growth rate.
