When cutting the fleshy leaves, prepare to transfer the seedlings in 1-2cm. At this time, the mother's leaves are dry, and there is no nutritional supply, so they need to be removed as soon as possible. The mixture of peat, sand and perlite is used to make soil, providing sufficient nutrients to ensure its growth. Put sand and perlite in the bottom of the basin, and put the seedlings into the back filling. Do not water after filling the soil. Water after 2-3 days and see the light properly.

I. time for basin transfer

In the process of growth, the seedlings will absorb the nutrition of the parent leaves. If the transplanting is too early and the nutrition is insufficient, it is difficult to survive. If it is moved too late, it will waste nutrients. Generally, when the seedlings grow to 1-2cm, they can be transferred to the basin. At this time, the mother leaves have dried up, and there is no nutrient supply.

II. Pot soil preparation

The growth of seedlings needs certain nutrients, and the new roots need to breathe, so the basin soil needs to use certain drainage and permeability. It can be mixed with peat soil and river sand, and a small amount of perlite can be added. The proportion of peat soil should be a little more, so that the roots can grow better.

3. Transplanting

Take out the seedlings carefully from the original basin, do not damage the roots and leaves, otherwise it is difficult to recover. If the root system is too developed, you can trim it properly. Remove the dry parent leaves to avoid wasting nutrients. Then put sand and perlite on the bottom of the basin, and a little peat soil. Put the plant upright and fill it with soil.

IV. post transfer care

After transplanting the seedlings, it is not advisable to water them immediately. At this time, it is in the slow seedling stage and can not adapt to the change of environment. After transplanting for 2 - 3 days, you can water it and see the light properly.
