How to divide succulent plants

1. Scope of application of division method

Succulents can be propagated by division, which is quite common. However, there are many varieties of succulents, and not all of them are suitable for this method. Generally speaking, this method is more suitable for succulents that grow in groups.

2. Division time

The main consideration is the suitability of temperature. Spring and autumn are the most suitable seasons, and the plants are more likely to survive after division.

3. Preparation

1. Matrix: Choosing a good matrix can increase the chance of success. It should be well-ventilated, loose and fertile. Before use, it is best to disinfect it, such as exposing it to the sun for a while. In addition, it should be moistened before planting, not too dry.

2. Division and disinfection: Divide the succulent into several parts and apply some fungicide on the wound to prevent the wound from rotting.

4. Planting after division

Plant several sections into prepared pots. Adjust the number of plants in each pot according to the size of the different sections.

5. Management after division

1. Place the plant in a cool place after potting. On the third or fourth day, some dim light can be used. After a week, you can gradually increase the intensity and duration of light.

2. The temperature should be appropriate and ensure it is within the warm range.
