How to prune the roots of succulent plants

Repotting and root pruning

1. Turn the flower pot upside down and take out the succulents.

2. Flick off the soil at the roots and prepare sterilized scissors.

3. Be ruthless and cut it off with one size fits all! Leave 2-3 cm of roots and cut off the rest.

4. If there are dead leaves at the bottom, also pick them off.

5. After trimming the roots, it is best to soak the roots in potassium permanganate solution to disinfect them.

6. Dig a small hole in the middle of the flowerpot and put the succulents in it. Be careful not to fill the soil too full at first, and leave space for the stone surface.

Root rot rescue

1. Remove the succulent plants from the pot and clean the soil around the roots.

2. Use a sharp blade to cut off the rotten parts. Make sure to cut them cleanly without any residue. Apply some carbendazim powder on the roots and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

3. Place the succulents after cleaning the roots on dry soil, like cuttings, and wait for them to re-root. Do not water them during this period and place them in a well-lit and ventilated place.

4. If the leaves are rotten, be sure to pick them off in time to avoid infection. If the rot area is relatively large, it is recommended to select healthy leaves and re-cut them.
