1. If you just want to protect the plant type

Add the side buds that grow out. You don't want it and don't use it to reproduce. You just want to maintain the plant type of the mother plant. When the side buds appear, we can directly use tweezers and knives to cut off the side buds. After cutting, we must pay attention to that its wounds must be dried in time. Otherwise, it will easily affect its mother plant, so the repair work must not be careless

2. Want to breed

Some people like to reproduce with the lateral buds of white lotus, so don't cut it off in a hurry, but let it grow for a long time before cutting it off for reproduction

How to behead: first of all, we must choose the position of beheading first. Generally, it's just a little lower under the side bud. Then, cut off the side bud with scissors or knife ready for detoxification. After cutting off, we have to remove some old leaves under the side bud, because these old leaves are easy to produce bacteria. Finally, do not touch anything with the cut side bud incision, and put it in a relatively clean container. Dry the cut place, and then plant it in a basin after the wound is cured

3. Let it grow naturally

If you feel that there is no problem for the lateral buds to stay on the mother plant, you don't need to remove them. We let it grow naturally, so that the lateral buds can be enlarged together. However, if you feel that some lateral buds affect its appearance during its growth, we can cut it slightly to keep the beautiful growth direction of lateral buds. It should also be noted that if lateral buds are left, they will be more vulnerable to some diseases and insect pests. Therefore, prevention and control work must be done well in this process. Once pests are found, they need to be killed in time to prevent them from endangering their normal growth
