If you want to keep the shape of the mother plant, you need to use tweezers and knives to cut off the sprouts when they appear. After cutting, you must pay attention to letting the wounds dry in time. Otherwise, it will easily affect its mother plant, so repair work must not be careless
Some people like to propagate with the lateral buds of white lotus, so don't cut them off in a hurry, and make sure that they grow for a long time and then cut them off.
How to behead: first of all, we must select the position of beheading. Generally, it is at the bottom of the lateral bud and then a little lower. Then we can cut off the lateral bud with scissors or knives that are ready to be sterilized. After cutting off, we also need to remove some old leaves under the lateral bud, because these old leaves are easy to produce bacteria. Do not touch anything with the last cut of the lateral bud, and put it in a clean container, dry the cut, and then plant it in a pot.
If you feel that there is no problem to leave the buds on the mother plant, you don't need to remove them. We'll let it grow naturally, so that it can bring along the side buds. But if in the process of its growth, you feel that some of its lateral buds affect its appearance, then we can cut it slightly to keep its beautiful growth direction. It should also be noted that if the lateral buds are left behind, they will be more vulnerable to some diseases and insect pests, so in this process, we must do a good job in prevention and control. Once insect pests are found, they need to be killed in time to prevent them from harming its normal growth.
