Should I snip off the flower bits? If so how would I do t...
So my dad told me i should snip off the flowers so it has more energy to grow roots, but with how small it is altogether, it is in height just barely 3 1/2 inches, how would I do so without possibly ruining the process. Oh I also decided to put it back in the water to grow roots as I needed that pot for two succulents that were in some way too dry soil…and that’s saying a lot for succulents. Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you! #PropagationStation #FloweringPlants #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Hi again @LikelyChaya33 well your dad is right! Carefully pinching out the flowers will allow your cutting to focus energy on rooting rather than blooming 🌼. You’re right to be concerned where to do this as there isn’t a lot of room. You’ll look for a tiny stem coming off the flower that attaches to the main plant stem or grouping of leaves underneath the flower. Then pinch the flower off with your fingernails or small scissors. I’ll see if I can find a picture….
@MariansOasis ok so I’m unable to get to the baby buds or the bigger unopened buds, do I wait or just leave them for now? I hope this photo is clear enough, my phone did not want to focus
@MariansOasis ok thank you!
