The materials needed for the propagation of succulent leaves are very simple: succulent plants or leaves taken from succulent plants, medium for planting succulent plants, and container for putting medium.
If the leaves have been removed, use them directly.
If you are picking leaves from a very strong plant, don't pick them immediately after watering, wait until they are slightly dry, so the leaves will be easier to pick (compared with plants with sufficient water, slightly dry plants are easier to pick leaves, you can try it).
The blade should be taken off at the base. It's very simple. Hold the blade gently and shake it left and right to come down.
New life is produced from the roots of leaves, so if the roots of leaves are not clean, they may not be able to reproduce, please pay attention to this.
Put the medium with more meat into the container and level the soil.
The direction of the leaves should be upward and downward.
Since it's called "leaf cutting", do you want to insert it? In fact, as long as it is put on dry soil, it will grow roots!
If you insert the leaves into the soil, they will grow roots, but new life may not emerge from the soil, so you must pay attention to it!
Never water, or the leaves will rot.
This period does not need too much light. If the leaves evaporate faster under the strong light, it may consume the energy to nurture life. It can be placed in low light environment or indoors.
After the birth of fleshy new life, it needs sunshine, otherwise it will grow slowly.
It must have been in a well lit place at that time. When new life was young, the water storage capacity was weak. During this period, some water should be properly poured.
After practical operation, you will find the following situations.
First roots, then leaves. First grow leaves, then roots.
Only roots (or leaves).
This is because succulent plants, like humans, have their own personalities. We just need to guard them well.
At this time, use chopsticks and other tools to dig a very shallow pit in the soil, put the root in, and lay a layer of soil gently and bury it. When the new life grows up, it can be planted in your favorite utensils.
You can also choose to dry the wound in a cool and ventilated place before cutting the leaves of succulent plants for about 7 days.
Lay the leaves of the dry wound on the pure wet sand and lay them on the ground. The wound can be close to the sand on one side, but not next to the sand.
Just leave them in a cool, airy place and wait for them to grow new plants.
The two methods seem to be different. In fact, they are both measures for the early stage of the leaf humidity of the succulent plant is too high and easy to rot, and for the need of certain water after the roots grow. Meat friends can try both methods in the actual planting process to add some fun.
In the process of planting, some of them will wither slowly because they need to transport nutrients. Please don't remove the leaves before they are completely withered. You may be able to produce small and fleshy leaves. Please remove them when they are completely dry.
It is better to choose the spring and autumn in the growing period. Although it can be planted in winter and summer, it has a longer rooting time and a higher possibility of rotting.
This is the charm of succulent plants. A leaf is a new plant, and the process of breeding life is wonderful. Only by observing with your heart can you experience the happiness of cultivating plants. If you have succulent plants, please try leaf cutting to experience the charm of succulent plants.
