In early autumn, peel a layer off your plants - 1 pot instantly becomes 20 pots, propagate and save money at the same time

Recently the Qingzhou succulent base was flooded, and succulent prices have skyrocketed, which really breaks the hearts of plant lovers. So what to do? Stop buying! The weather is just turning cooler, so why not pull off all the side shoots of the sturdier succulents? Not only will the plant shape look better, but in minutes you can grow ten or twenty pots and save loads of money! Now let's see how Huahua does it!

Pull off the side shoots, 1 pot easily becomes 10 pots

1. Choosing the mother plant

Choose a plant that is growing robustly, with plump leaves and side shoots that are big enough. Pulling off side shoots is a major operation, so don't do it on weak-growing ones for now.

2. Removing from the pot

Dig the whole succulent out of the pot, gently shake off the soil, and be careful not to damage the roots.

3. Pulling off the side shoots

After cleaning off the soil, pull off the side shoots one by one. Note: don't pull off side shoots that are too small, as they won't survive easily. Be gentle and try not to damage the mother plant. After pulling them off, leave them in a cool, ventilated place to dry for 2 days.

4. Potting up

Plant the dried side shoots and the mother plant separately in 2 large pots. The soil should be loose and breathable, keep it semi-dry, and place them in a cool spot to wait for roots to grow!

5. Transplanting

Keep them in a ventilated spot with indirect light, and don't water for now. Generally, new roots will grow in about 10~15 days. 2 weeks after rooting, transplant each side shoot separately into a small flower pot. 1 pot instantly becomes many pots, and by next spring they'll fill their pots!

Grow them like this after autumn, and filling the pot is no problem

1. Light

After the Start of Autumn, don't suddenly expose them to direct strong light. Move them gradually from indirect light to a spot with more light, slowly increasing the light to avoid sunburn from the autumn tiger heat. If it's hard to control, you can give them full light in the morning and evening and shade them at noon.

2. Watering

In early autumn, watering about once every 2 weeks is enough. Don't water too frequently, to avoid leggy growth. After watering, open the windows immediately for ventilation.

3. Fertilizing

Once the dormant period is over, growth speeds up, so fertilizer needs to keep up, but don't overfeed - a weak plant can't take rich feeding. You can bury a few granules of slow-release fertilizer in the soil, and be careful to keep it away from the roots.

4. Cleaning up dead leaves

Promptly clean up dry, sunburned, and fallen leaves that drop into the pot, to reduce infection from pests and diseases.

5. Pest prevention

Late summer and early autumn is exactly when all kinds of bugs run rampant. You can directly bury pesticide in the soil to prevent pests; imidacloprid, carbofuran, and the like all work.
