What to do if the succulent jade fan grows side buds

Cleanup steps

If you just want to shape the existing jade fan instead of continuing to propagate it, you can choose to cut it off directly with tools. In this way, the jade fan can grow better.

First, prepare the tools, you can choose tweezers or a knife. This is one thing to note: the wound site must be dried in time after excision. The buds cut at an angle do not need to be processed. Just sprinkle some water on them and let them grow freely.

If you want to propagate a new pot of jade fan, you don't have to cut it in a hurry, just keep it until it grows naturally. This is similar to the common beheading method, but be careful when operating. After the mature side buds are taken and dried, they can be directly inserted into the soil. Do not give them too much water in the early stage, and do not expose them to direct sunlight. You must pay attention to the early maintenance.

Don’t be afraid when side buds appear, because spring and autumn are the golden periods for the growth of this plant. It is very normal to have some side buds. We just need to watch them quietly. If it's not serious, the jade fan itself can handle it.

Things to note when clearing

If side buds appear at the bottom, be sure to kill the insects first, because the probability of scale insects appearing at the bottom is the highest. If not handled in time, it is likely to affect the development of the entire plant. Therefore, try not to leave plants with insects for reproduction at the beginning. Friends who are worried can choose to abandon this side bud.

Be sure to water in the evening, because even if water droplets accidentally splash onto the leaves, you will not get burned. The water droplets on the leaves will dry up overnight. In addition, the water used for pouring should be harder, but if you choose to spray water, it is best to use purified water.
