Break off the side buds and turn 1 pot into 10 pots easily1. Mother plant selection Choose plants that are strong, have full leaves, and have large enough side buds. Breaking off the side buds is a major operation, so do not break off the weakly growing plants for the time being. 2. Remove from the basin Dig the whole succulent out of the pot and gently shake off the soil without damaging the roots. 3. Break off the side buds After cleaning the soil, break off the side buds one by one. Be careful not to break off side buds that are too small, as they are unlikely to survive. Be gentle and try not to damage the mother plant. After breaking off, place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry for 2 days. 4. Put it in the basin Plant the dried side buds and mother plant in 2 large pots respectively. The soil should be loose and breathable, kept semi-dry, and placed in a cool place to wait for rooting! 5. Transplanting Maintain it with ventilation and diffused light, and do not water it for the time being. Generally, new roots will grow in about 10 to 15 days. After 2 weeks of rooting, transplant each side bud into a small flowerpot. One pot will immediately become multiple pots, and the pot will be full of flowers next spring! If you grow it like this in autumn, it won’t be a problem if the pots burst1. Lighting After the beginning of autumn, do not expose your plants to direct strong sunlight suddenly. Instead, gradually move from an area with scattered light to an area with more light, slowly increasing the amount of light to avoid being sunburned by the autumn heat. If it is difficult to control, you can maintain it in full sunlight in the morning and evening, and shade it at noon. 2. Watering In early autumn, water the plant about once every two weeks. Don't water it too frequently to prevent it from growing too tall. Open the windows for ventilation immediately after watering. 3. Fertilization After the dormant period, the growth speeds up and fertilizer should be applied regularly, but not too much fertilizer as the plant will not be able to benefit from the supplement. You can bury a few grains of slow-release fertilizer in the soil, keeping them away from the roots. 4. Clean up dead leaves Clean up dried, sunburned, and fallen leaves in the pot in time to reduce infection from pests and diseases. 5. Insect prevention Late summer and early autumn are the times when all kinds of insects are rampant. You can bury insecticides directly in the soil to prevent them. Imidacloprid, furadan, etc. can be used. |
