Tutorial on the division of Jade Dew's side shoots

1. Division method

Before dividing the plant, you need to carefully remove the jade plant from the potting soil, clean the soil attached to the roots, and then cut off the growing side buds. It should be noted that when dividing the plant, a sterilized blade should be used to prevent bacteria from invading the jade plant. If the seedlings divided from the plant have roots, they can be planted in pots; if they do not have roots, you need to wait for the cut to dry before you can carry out cuttings, which means they need to be dried in the sun for 1-2 days.

If you don't want to remove the plant from the pot, you can gently shake the side bud back and forth. Once it separates from the mother plant, pull it out of the soil. However, this situation can easily damage the roots. If you are not an expert, it is not recommended to do this.

2. Precautions

Division can be done when repotting or during the growth period of the plant. Division is not recommended when the temperature is too high in summer. For newly planted small plants after division, be sure not to water them too much. Too much water will cause them to rot easily. You must wait until they grow new roots before you can maintain them normally.
