How to keep the main head of the Mage Succulent and make it explode (How to trim a single head of the Mage to grow multiple heads)

As long as it does not affect ventilation and does not grow too long, the mage does not need to deliberately reduce the head:

Most of the plants have the characteristic of short-term dormancy during the high temperature period in summer, and the outer leaves will dry up and fall off during the dormant period.

Therefore, for plants with more branches, dead leaves are more likely to accumulate during the dormant period, and the dead leaves need to be cleaned up in time to help ventilation, otherwise it is easy to grow mold and scale insects.

The plant loves sunlight very much and is afraid of waterlogging. It will easily grow too tall if it lacks sunlight for a long time. If individual branches are obviously too tall or weak, you can consider pruning them to maintain a good plant shape.

The main method of propagation of Faecalis is generally through branch cuttings. If it is for the purpose of propagation, you can also cut some suitable branches from the Faecalis growing in groups for cuttings.

It should be noted that beheading and pruning will leave scars to a certain extent, so choosing the location is very important. Even when pruning branches, it should be done without affecting the appearance.

Basic skills of raising a magician

The soil should be loose and breathable, with a certain proportion of particles. The flower pots should be mainly slightly larger old stump pots, Qingshan pots, and gallon pots to avoid frequent repotting and top-heavyness.

In daily care, except for appropriate shading in summer, sufficient light needs to be maintained in other seasons. Watering should be restrained during the summer dormant period due to shading, and no watering is required unless the potting soil is basically dry.

In winter, try to keep the breeding environment temperature no lower than 5℃. A relatively dry state of potting soil is more conducive to a smooth winter.

Spring, autumn and early winter are the seasons when the plant grows vigorously. In addition to providing sufficient light, you can also apply some diluted water-soluble fertilizer and water when the soil is dry.

The plant itself has a smell and is not prone to many diseases and pests, but in the hot and humid environment of summer, it is prone to black rot and waterlogging of its branches and trunks.

In addition, scale insects are prone to grow in humid and unventilated environments . During daily care, you can frequently turn over the gaps between leaves and the back to see if there are scale insects. If pests are found, use avermectin, acetamiprid, etc. to kill the insects in time to avoid a large outbreak of pests that are difficult to kill completely.

Around March to May every spring, you can change the pot and soil of the Master Plant once. Proper root pruning during repotting will help stimulate growth and maintain vigorous vitality.
