The fast growing succulents are some of the most popular plants these days. This is because they offer a variety of colors, are easy to grow, and can be used in both outdoor and indoor settings. But how do you make them grow even faster? In this article, we will explore 9 fast-growing succulents, along with tips for how to grow them even faster!
Fast growing Succulents
1) Aeonium Sunburst

Aeonium Sunburst thrives in low-light.
2) Agave attenuata
This fast growing succulent has leaves that grow up to 30 cm long and wide, with sharp spines on the tips of its leaves. The Agave also flowers well due to its flowering cycle, which is once every two years.
3) Aloe Vera
The Aloe Vera is one of the most popular types of plants, for good reason! It grows incredibly fast: a new plant can be produced from an old one within six weeks or less! And it doesn’t stop there either…once this type of succulents starts getting “old” (more than four months), they will produce more rosettes offshoots through their center.
4) Euphorbia canariensis

The Euphorbias leaves have been known to produce milk which was used for medicinal purposes in former times; some people still use them today as well!
5) Haworthia Fosbergii
Haworthia Fosbergii Slightly less common than other types of succulents, Haworthia fosbergii grows fast enough: these plants can reach heights of 27 cm within two or three months (depending on how much sunlight they get). They’re best suited for those who want smaller indoor plants because of their size.
6) Crassula Species

7) Haworthia Species
Haworthia are in the plant family Asphodelaceae. Haworthias are endemic to South Africa, but have become naturalized in many other parts of the world.

8) Christmas Cactus
Christmas Cactus, also known as Schlumbergera (from Latin “schlumbergerianum”), is a flowering plant native to Brazil. They are popular houseplants during the Christmas season due to their red and green foliage and bright flowers.

How to Grow Succulents Fast
1. Succulents need a lot of light
2. They like to be watered once every two weeks, but don’t over-water them!
3. Keep your succulents in a pot with drainage holes so that they can get plenty of water and air without getting too wet or dry
4. Put them outside during the summer months (they’ll love it!)
5. The best time to plant succulents is in late winter or early spring because they’re dormant at this time of year
Increasing Succulent Size
1. Use a pot that is at least 2 inches wider than the diameter of your succulent.
2. Fill the bottom of the pot with rocks, gravel, or broken pieces of terracotta pots to create a drainage layer.
3. Add soil to fill up about halfway up the pot and make sure it has good drainage by poking holes in it with your fingers.
4. Place your succulent on top of this layer so that its roots are just below where you stopped adding soil
5. Cover any exposed roots with more dirt and water well.
