Leaf cutting is a kind of propagation method that separates the leaves of plants from the mother, and then inserts them into the matrix, waiting for their rooting. For leaf cutting, it is suitable for plants with thick leaves. The leaves of cheeky plants just meet this requirement, so we say that leaf cuttings are often used in fleshy flowers.
Time choice: in general, we will choose its exuberant growth period for operation, at this time, the plant is more dynamic.
Material selection: in order to improve the survival rate, we need to select those strong, disease-free plants as the mother for leaf cutting.
Container selection: first of all, drainage, and then smaller, because meat is generally smaller.
Selection of matrix: This is also an important nutrient for survival rate, which requires comprehensive consideration of various factors for selection. Taking into account the drainage of the substrate, the richness of nutrients and other reasons, we can mix pearl stone and vermiculite together, so that it is easier to meet the needs of the foliage.
Specific steps: first, cut some fleshy leaves with some lignification from the base of the mother plant. At this time, we can't cut directly, but we need to air it for two or three days, and then we can do it after the wound is dried. After drying, insert the leaves into the prepared substrate. Then, cover the container with a little plastic cloth, so as to keep the humidity; in addition, ensure the proper temperature. So that various conditions in a suitable state, so that after waiting for about three to five weeks, it can take root, which is successful
