1. Division time

Division should be carried out in spring, combined with repotting and changing soil. The specific time is between April and May, when the temperature and humidity are very suitable. Doing it at this time can reduce damage to the mother plant. After division, the seedlings can adapt to the new environment more quickly, which can increase the chance of success and facilitate management.

2. Remove the seedlings from the pot

Choose a sunny day to take the plant out of the pot, and be careful not to damage the roots. After removing the pot, remove the germinated seedlings from the base of the plant. Whether it is rooted or rootless, it should be placed in a ventilated and cool place to dry the wound. The wound area must also be disinfected to avoid infection after potting.

3. Prepare the soil

Prepare flower pots according to the number of seedlings. The flower pot should be made of a permeable material and must have drainage holes at the bottom. The soil must be loose, breathable and have good drainage. It can be mixed with peat soil, coarse sand and garden soil to meet the needs. Be sure to expose it to the sun for disinfection before use to avoid insect eggs.

4. Planting in pots

After the potting soil is prepared, the seedlings can be planted in the soil. When planting, first put an appropriate amount of soil in the flowerpot, and then put the seedlings in. Fill the soil carefully and compact it to avoid the seedlings from tilting. After planting, water it thoroughly in time to make the seedlings and the soil wet. Finally, place it in a well-ventilated and dark place. It will soon adapt to the environment and resume growth.
