Can succulent divisions survive without roots?

1. Can you survive?

Succulent plants can survive without roots when divided, but attention must be paid to the division method and subsequent maintenance. Don't rush to plant side buds without roots. Wait until the wounds are dry and then carefully plant them in the soil. In addition, attention should also be paid to the size of the seedlings. Too large or too small will not be conducive to survival.

2. Division method

1. Break off the side buds: There is no need to remove the succulents for the side buds without roots. You can directly break them off carefully with your hands, or cut them off with sterilized scissors. No matter how you break them off, try to minimize damage to the mother plant.

2. Dry the wound: After breaking it off, be sure to place it in a bright place without direct sunlight to dry the wound. Then plant it after it is dry. Otherwise, the wound will easily become infected and fail to survive.

3. Planting in pots: After drying, plant the side buds in the soil. Be careful not to rush to water them. Place them in a cool place first to allow them to adapt to the new environment. The side buds without roots adapt more slowly and will take root in about a month.
