Swallow's paw can be used for leaf cutting. Although the development cycle of leaf cuttings is relatively long, as long as careful cultivation, the young plants of leaf cuttings can also grow into a basin of complete plants healthily.
1. Select the blade: the first step is to select the blade. The success rate of this team's subsequent operation is very important. If you choose the wrong blade, the subsequent maintenance work will only be half the effort. Specifically, to choose robust, disease free leaves for leaf insertion, but not to choose thin leaves.
2. Prepare the substrate: in addition to the leaves, prepare the substrate for cutting. The substrate should be soft and breathable, and contain certain nutrients, which can increase the success rate of leaf insertion.
3. Carry out leaf cutting: shake the selected leaves back and forth on the mother plant, remove them when they are loose, and then dry them in a cool place. After that, they will be tiled to the prepared substrate surface, so that they fit together closely.
4. Later maintenance: put the cutted flowerpot in a cool and ventilated place, keep the soil slightly moist, wait patiently, about a month later, you can see that it produces new roots. After a period of time, when the young plant is fully developed, it can be transplanted into a new flowerpot, and then cultured normally.
