What season is suitable for cutting succulent plants?

1. Beheading Season

You must choose the right season to behead succulents. It is usually best to do it in spring and autumn. The plants grow relatively vigorously in these two seasons, and the mother plant will resume growth relatively quickly after beheading. In addition, there will occasionally be breezes in spring and autumn, and the breeding environment will not be too hot and stuffy, which will greatly reduce the probability of black rot in the plants.

However, there are some varieties that can be pruned in the summer, such as summer print, but most varieties are best pruned during the growing season.

2. Situations requiring beheading

1. Reproduction: Sometimes if you want to turn a pot of plants into two or more pots, you can use the beheading method and plant the beheaded seedlings separately.

2. Legit growth: When you find that succulents are growing too long, their stems will become very long and they need to be beheaded at this time to make the plants shorter and more beautiful.

3. Black rot: If the plant is attacked by pathogens and black rot occurs, it must be beheaded, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plant and it is very likely to die.

4. Heading: Some flower lovers want to make the plant head out and grow from a single head to multiple heads, which can be achieved by beheading.
