Jade Butterfly propagation methods
Article Abstract: Introduction to the succulent plant Jade Butterfly, propagation methods of Jade Butterfly, if there are any mistakes, please correct them!
Jade Butterfly propagation almost never uses leaf insertion, so it relies on topping and dividing young plants for propagation. Since Jade Butterfly naturally sheds the lower leaves during growth, there is almost no need for topping. The shape can be restored by sunbathing, so we have to rely on dividing young plants for propagation.
You can see many young plants crowded below, and what we need to do is gently pull these young plants off. It is best to water a little the day before pulling them off, so that each young head absorbs enough water before leaving its mother. When pulling them off the next day, start with the largest head that is easiest to handle, gently twist with your fingers at the root, and it can easily be twisted off because of the moisture. Of course, you can use small scissors, but I find it troublesome, and scissors can easily injure the leaves.
The young plants pulled off may have roots, some may not, and some may turn white due to lack of light. Place the pulled-off young plants in a cool and well-ventilated place to dry for a day, and then they can be planted. I use a mix of peat and perlite in a 1:1 ratio. After filling the small black square with soil, gently press a small hole in the middle with your finger, then place the young plant on top. Do not water for the next month because many do not have roots and cannot absorb water. Continue to place them on a bright window sill without direct sunlight. After a month, the roots will grow out. Then water a little, and you can choose to let it continue to stay in the peat or try transplanting with a 1:1 mix of garden soil and sand.
The above provides a specific introduction to the propagation methods of Jade Butterfly for netizens to refer to and learn from.
