Should succulents be cut off after they bloom?

1. Should I cut it off?

1. Cut off the flower stem: If you cut it off after the succulent plant blooms, it will inevitably reduce the loss of nutrients. If the flowers grow, they will definitely absorb a large amount of nutrients, causing the leaves to be far less full and round than before. Cutting off the flower stem can grow more side buds, and the flower stem can also be propagated by cuttings.

2. Do not cut the flower stems: It is very difficult to grow succulents to bloom. You are reluctant to cut them off but are afraid that they will absorb nutrients and cause the leaves to deform and wither. At this time, you can add a small amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate when watering to reduce the risk of withering.

2. Cutting method after cutting

1. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut off the flower sword of the succulent plant and place it in a dark and ventilated place until the wound dries.

2. Insert the flower sword with the wound dried into the soil, not too deep, and place it in a place with scattered light. New shoots will appear in about 15-30 days.

3. Notes

When cutting flower stems, it is more conducive to survival to choose flower stems with more and stronger leaves. Don't rush to water right after cuttings. Just keep the soil slightly moist. Wait until new shoots grow before watering appropriately.
