4 kinds of plants that love to produce pups: grow them casually and even a big tub can't hold them

Snake plant produces pups and fills a big pot in no time!

The snake plant at home often sends up many small shoots in its pot. These small shoots grow bigger and bigger and can quickly burst the pot. So at this point we need to divide the snake plant.

How to handle a snake plant after it produces pups?

1. How to grow it until it produces pups?

To get the snake plant to produce pups as quickly as possible, fertilizing is essential. Usually you can bury cooked soybeans in the snake plant's pot, about 2-4 beans each time is completely enough.

2. Withhold water from the snake plant for 1-2 days, then turn the pot upside down, and the snake plant can be removed from the pot easily. After removing it, wash the soil off the roots and cut off all the old roots, weak roots, and so on.

3. Use sterilized scissors to cut the snake plant apart along the roots. Be careful that each division has somewhat sturdy roots; only then will it survive more easily after division. Then place it in a cool, ventilated place to let the wounds dry.

4. Snake plant roots are relatively shallow, so the soil must be a loose, breathable nutrient soil to avoid waterlogging and root rot. You can use a nutrient soil made by mixing leaf mold and pine needle soil at 1:1.

5. Repot the snake plant after the wounds have dried. First place it in a cool place for 1-2 weeks, then put it in a spot indoors with good scattered light and care for it normally. Soon the snake plant's pups will fill the pot again!

Hen and chicks produces pups and refills the pot in 1 month!

Among succulents, my favorite is hen and chicks. After all, hen and chicks doesn't need leaf cuttings or beheading; just toss it aside and it will soon send out pups. So convenient!

How to handle hen and chicks after it produces pups?

1. How to grow it until it produces pups?

If you grow hen and chicks at home, be sure to place it in a south-facing balcony, south-facing windowsill, or another spot with good light. Water it when you notice the potting soil is dry, and you'll soon find a ring of pups around the hen and chicks.

2. Cut off the pups

When the hen and chicks pups grow to the size of a coin, you can directly remove the pups it has produced and use them for cuttings.

3. Let the wounds dry

Pups cut off with scissors must be placed in a ventilated spot for a while to let the wounds dry. If you plant them directly, the sap in the pups will contact the soil and cause the pups to rot.

4. Plant the pups as cuttings

Prepare a loose, breathable nutrient soil, and directly plant the hen and chicks pups after the wounds have dried. For the soil, you can choose a loose, breathable nutrient soil, and you can also put some clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot for looseness and breathability.

5. The pups survive and refill the pot

First place them in a cool spot for about 1 week to recover, then put them in direct sun on a south-facing balcony. In less than 1 month, the hen and chicks pups from the cuttings will fill the pot again!

Clivia produces pups: 1 pot becomes many pots!

Clivia has thick, fleshy leaves and brightly colored flowers, and is deeply loved by many gardening friends. Especially clivia grown for many years will send up many small shoots from the roots. As long as these small shoots are removed, they can become new clivia, without spending a single cent!

How to handle clivia after it produces pups?

1. How to grow it until it produces pups?

To get clivia to produce pups, when repotting you can add oil-bearing crops such as peanuts and sunflower seeds to the bottom of the pot, or poke a hole along the side of the pot and pour waste oil in. Both can supplement nutrients for the clivia.

2. The pups grow 5 leaves

A well-cared-for clivia will send up pups from the old root area, commonly known as seedlings. When the seedlings grow to more than 5 leaves, they can be divided.

3. Remove from the pot

Before removing it from the pot, withhold water from the clivia for about 3 days. Then hold the clivia plant with one hand and turn the pot upside down with the other, and the clivia can be removed from the pot intact.

4. Trim the roots and soak in carbendazim solution to disinfect

After cleaning the soil off the clivia roots, soak them in carbendazim solution for 20-40 minutes to sterilize and disinfect, then take them out and place them in a cool, ventilated spot to dry.

5. Cut off the pups together with roots and let the wounds dry

After the clivia root wounds have dried, use sterilized scissors to cut the pups directly off the mother plant. The sturdier the roots the pups carry, the higher the survival rate and the more vigorous the growth!

6. Disinfect with carbendazim and prepare for potting

Apply some carbendazim solution to the wounds of the cut-off clivia pups, place them in a cool spot to let the wounds dry, and prepare to pot them.

7. Use bark at the bottom of the pot for water and air permeability without root rot

Place bark, broken bricks, and so on at the bottom of the pot to achieve water and air permeability, then prepare nutrient soil and plant the clivia pups that have been divided. The nutrient soil can be made by mixing leaf mold with fine river sand at a 2:1 ratio.

8. Repot

Pot the divided clivia pups and place them in a cool, ventilated spot for about 2 weeks. In this way, 1 pot of clivia can become at least 3 pots!

Spider plant produces pups and refills the pot in 1 month!

When it comes to the easiest plant to grow, it must be the spider plant! Just cut the small spider plantlets off the stems, and they can become a new pot of spider plant!

How to handle a spider plant after it produces pups?

1. Spider plant produces pups

A vigorously growing spider plant will send up many small spider plantlets on its stems. These small spider plantlets are the pups produced by the spider plant.

2. Cut off the small spider plantlets

Use sterilized scissors to cut the spider plant pups off the mother plant. When cutting, be sure to cut off the aerial roots of the small spider plantlets along with them; this way the survival rate is higher.

3. Prepare the cutting soil

Prepare a loose, breathable nutrient soil for planting the spider plant pups as cuttings. For the soil, you can mix peat soil or leaf mold, perlite, and river sand at a 2:1:1 ratio to make the nutrient soil needed for cuttings.

4. Plant the spider plant pups as cuttings

Plant the spider plant pups into the nutrient soil, water thoroughly once, then place them in a cool spot for 1 week to recover. After that, place them in the living room, study, or another spot with good scattered light.

5. Refill the pot

For the spider plant after cuttings, water about once every 4-7 days. Usually you can mix in a little compound fertilizer or rice washing water when watering the spider plant, which will make the planted spider plant pups grow more and more vigorously and quickly refill the pot!
