The Art of Separating Offshoots
Rooted vs Rootless Treatment
Rooted offshoots are like warriors with survival kits – simply twist gently at the base until you hear a soft “click”. For rootless ones: sterilize blades over flame for 10 seconds, make razor-sharp 45° cuts. Pro tip: Apply honey on mother plant’s wound for natural antiseptic!
The Golden Planting Formula
- 3-day drying: Place on WiFi router for gentle warmth
- 2cm planting depth: Use lava rock & coco coir mix (70:30 ratio)
- 1-week dry start: On day 8, use eyedropper to give 5 water drops
