Understand the significance of rationing, choose the best time to rationing, choose the right rationing method, and take precautions for rationing steps. Succulent plants are deeply loved by plant lovers because of their unique shape and low maintenance costs. Breeding succulent plants can not only enrich your plant collection and give you a sense of accomplishment. Let's explain in detail how to rationing succulent plants so that your succulent family will grow stronger and stronger. Understanding the significance of rationing refers to dividing a succulent plant into multiple independent plants and allowing them to grow separately. This method can effectively increase the number of succulent plants, and is simple to operate and has a high success rate. The best time for rationing The best time for rationing is usually spring or autumn, when the temperature is suitable, succulent plants grow faster and have strong recovery capabilities. Choose the appropriate rationing method 1. Observe the plant shape: Select healthy and well-growing succulent plants for rationing.
2. Select the right ramet location: It is more appropriate to choose the stem node or leaf node of the plant for ramet.
3. Tool preparation: Prepare a sharp pair of scissors or knives and disinfectant. Step 1. Cleaning: Before dividing, wash the plants with clean water to reduce the risk of bacterial infection.
2. Cutting: Use disinfected scissors or knife to cut along the stem or leaf nodes to ensure a smooth cutting surface.
3. Separation: Gently pull out the divided plants, taking care not to damage the root system.
4. Check the root system: Check whether the root system of the plant is complete. If it is damaged, it can be repaired with gardening glue.
5. Implantation in new pots: Implant the separated plants into new flower pots, paying attention to keeping the soil moist. Notes 1. Pay attention to keeping the soil moist after dividing to avoid excessive watering causing plant rot.
2. The plants after rafting need appropriate shade to avoid direct light.
3. During the rationing process, pay attention to safety and avoid cutting your fingers.
Through the above steps, you can easily separate succulent plants. In this process, you can not only increase the number of succulent plants, but also allow you to understand more about the growth habits of succulent plants. During the process, patience and care are the key. I believe that your succulent family will grow stronger and stronger in the near future.
