Succulents can survive without roots when they are divided, but attention should be paid to the method of division and subsequent maintenance. After breaking off the rootless lateral buds, place them in a bright place without direct light to dry the wound, and then plant it after drying. Otherwise, the wound will be easily infected and will not survive. In addition, be careful not to water in a hurry after planting, and wait for normal maintenance after adapting to the new environment.

1. Whether it can survive

Succulents can survive without roots when they are divided, but attention should be paid to the method of division and later maintenance. Don't rush to plant side shoots without roots. Wait for the wounds to dry before carefully planting them in the soil. In addition, pay attention to the size of the seedlings. Too big or too small is not conducive to survival.

2. Division method

1. Break off the side buds: There is no need to remove the succulent side buds without roots. You can carefully break them off directly with your hands, or cut them off with sterilized scissors. No matter how you break them, you must try to minimize the damage to the mother plant.

2. Dry the wound: be sure to put it on after removing it. Dry the wound in a bright place without direct light, and then plant it after drying. Otherwise, the wound will be easily infected and will not survive.

3. Plant in pots: After drying, plant the side buds in the soil. Be careful not to water them in a hurry. You should first put them in a cool place to let them adapt to the new environment. Side shoots without roots adapt slowly and will take root in about a month.
