How to deal with lateral buds growing on succulent plants

1. Removal of lateral buds

If you do not plan to reproduce and do not want side buds, you can cut them off directly so that the mother plant can grow more luxuriantly. When cutting, just use a clean knife or tweezers to cut it off. After cutting, make sure the wound is dry, place it in a cool place, sprinkle a little water, and move it into the soil after roots grow.

2. Keep the side buds

If you plan to propagate and want to keep the side buds, wait until the side buds grow up, cut them off and then propagate. When cutting it directly, try to minimize the damage to the mother plant. Dry the wound, then insert it into moist soil. Do not overwater it, do not place it in direct sunlight, and take good care of it.

3. Cutting Planting

Many succulents grow side buds from the bottom of the rosette. The bottom side buds can be cut off for cuttings. When cutting, choose loose, breathable and well-drained humus soil. Water in time and in moderation after cutting. Try to water in the evening when the sun sets. Spray with clean tap water or purified water to avoid leaving stains on the leaves.
