In theory, molting is a process in which the old plant provides nutrition to the new plant and promotes its growth. In this process, the timing of water cut-off is crucial. Within half a year after sowing, it will shed its skin twice. At this time, the water should be cut off properly, not completely. Water can be given to the plant once a year after sowing. After two years of sowing, when the plant molts, the water can be completely cut off.

How to cut off water

1. Seedling: within half a year after sowing, it usually molts twice. At this time, the plant is very small, the volume is not large, and the water in the body is relatively small, so the water can not be completely cut off at this time, and the soil can not be too dry. Otherwise, the new plant will wither.
