The procedure for beheading succulent plants is simple and succulent growth cannot be stopped at all.

Beheading is an important way to deal with the excessive growth of succulent plants and the explosion of single-headed succulent plants. it is an important part of the reproduction of succulent plants, and it is also one of the skills that every succulent person must master. Succulent beauty in the fat leaves can become ugly as soon as it is thin, and it is not pleasing to the eye. Although after growing up, it will gradually become a "fake old pile". If you can't wait to stand it, beheading is the most effective way to deal with it.

First of all, let's take a look at the popular science. The "beheading" of succulent plants is actually the "top bud" in crop production, which is called "top advantage" in botany. In the process of plant growth and development, there is a close relationship between terminal bud and lateral bud. When the terminal bud grows vigorously, it will inhibit the growth of lateral bud. If for some reason the terminal buds stop growing, some lateral buds will grow rapidly. This phenomenon such as preferential growth of terminal buds and inhibition of lateral bud development is called "apical dominance". Therefore, if the terminal buds are knocked off, a lot of lateral buds will emerge naturally. This is also the quickest way to solve the problem of growing succulent plants and turning them into multiple plants.

To find a suitable place to behead succulent plants, if the stems and leaves grow succulent, to find a more suitable position for beheading in the rhizome, in general, the more to the top of the rhizome is not easy to succeed, but easy to breed bacteria, beheading position should be taught in a slightly hard position, the probability of success will be much higher.

Succulent beheading tools recommend the use of sharp art knives and other knife tools. Why not recommend the most common scissors? Because the scissors will squeeze the wound when they cut the succulent stem. Flower friends who behead with scissors will find that the pole will wither because of the tissue necrosis caused by the scissors squeezing the wound of the succulent plant.

Apply carbendazim powder to the pile and cut head wound, do not apply liquid, the cut after beheading is easy to rot if stained with liquid. Put the pile and the chopped head in a cool and ventilated place, do not expose yourself to the sun, do not water it for the time being, water it again after sprouting and take it for normal care in the sun. Cut off the head to dry until the wound healed, cut in a loose and breathable dry medium, a week later a small amount of water supply, keep the basin soil slightly tidal, about ten days to take root. When the leaves of the plant are energetic, they can be taken care of normally in the sun.

After beheading, the succulent plant needs to be dried in a container or on a paper towel to allow the decapitated succulent wound to heal and then put into the sand. The sandy soil is permeable and breathable, which is very suitable for the growth of the decapitated succulent plant, and then moved to the soil to continue to grow after taking root in the sand. Cut-off succulent plants can also induce roots, but they still have to be transplanted to the soil after rooting.
