Will the succulent pine die after flowering?

1. Will I die?

The stonecrop will die after flowering. It is a biennial plant that grows roots and leaves in the first year, blooms and bears fruit in the second year, and then dies after bearing fruit. Since this process requires a huge amount of nutrients, the plant will die after bearing fruit. However, there are some measures that can be taken to prevent it from dying after flowering.

2. How to avoid

Since the stonecrop consumes nutrients only when it blooms, as long as its nutrients are preserved, it can be prevented from withering. After its flower buds appear, cut them off in time, so that the stonecrop can live longer. Of course, you won't see it blooming using this method. If you want to continue growing it and want it to bloom, you need to propagate it.

3. How to reproduce

1. Division: The division time of Sedum is generally in summer. At this time, many sub-plants will grow next to the mother plant. Carefully peel them off from it. For the seedlings with roots, they can be planted directly, but those without roots need to be dried and then cut into sandy soil. After they take root, they can be transplanted into pots. This method is very simple and very suitable for home use.

2. Sowing: If you want to plant Scutellaria baicalensis on a large scale, you can use the sowing method. The fruits are usually harvested in autumn when they are ripe and then sown in spring. The potting soil is prepared by mixing river sand and loess in a ratio of about 5:1. After sowing the seeds, water them thoroughly, cover them with plastic film, and wait for them to germinate.
