Can jade trees be used for leaf cuttings? How to cut jade trees

Yes, choose a strong jade tree, pick off the full leaves, and put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry for half a day. After the wound on the leaves has dried, place the leaves of the jade tree leaf side up on the surface of the soil to keep the soil slightly moist.

It is also possible to take cuttings. It is best to choose cuttings in the spring, and when cuttings are made, you can use soil cuttings, which will allow it to grow quickly.

Did you know that jade trees can also be propagated with cuttings from one leaf?

The method of jade tree cuttings is divided into two types: leaf cuttings and branch cuttings.

1. Leaf cuttings method.

The leaf cutting method is relatively simple, the survival rate is relatively high, and it will not affect the beauty of the plant plant. After pruning down, it should be placed in the soil, which should be placed flat in the substrate, covered with 1 cm thick soil, and then kept the soil moist, placed in the shade and ventilated, and the buds can emerge in a week.

2. Cuttings of branches.

Branch cuttings, this method is more difficult, Shouqing Song first in the sturdy plant to cut off a section of branches, dry it in the sun, in the seedbed cuttings, generally speaking, it will quickly take root and sprout, but it should not be placed in a dark and humid environment, otherwise it will affect the normal growth.

The cultivation method of Yushu

1. Breeding environment.

Yushu likes loose, well-drained soil, in the process of breeding, you can use garden soil, river sand, humus soil in a ratio of 2:3:5 to prepare the base soil, and mix bone meal to improve the fertilizer content of the soil, and to loosen the soil once every three months, accompany the fiber to avoid soil agglomeration, affecting the growth of the root system of Yushu.

2. Water and fertilizer management.

Yushu likes a humid environment, but is not tolerant to waterlogging, too much water will grow poorly, you can water every other week when breeding, keep the potting soil moist, watering 2-3 times a week in summer, and Yushu likes fertilizer, you can apply nitrogen fertilizer 2-3 times a year to promote plant growth, but fertilizer needs to be diluted and used.

Jade tree cuttings are very convenient, only a branch or a leaf can be taken by cuttings to propagate, the nutrient soil with vermiculite is the best, you can also use sand and add some peat soil. Put the cuttings in a cool place to dry, insert them into the substrate, water them thoroughly, shade them for maintenance, keep the substrate moist and not accumulate water during the period, and they can take root and pot in about 3 or 4 weeks.

The jade tree is a succulent plant, and it is very convenient to take cuttings, and some people say that the leaves it sheds on its own can be cut into life. However, in order to ensure the survival rate of cuttings, it is necessary to select plump and healthy leaves or branches from the mother plant that are relatively free of disease, and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

How to cut in Yushu need to choose the appropriate culture soil, the culture soil needs to be loose and breathable, it is best to use vermiculite, you can also use ordinary sand soil as the culture soil for cuttings, of course, adding some peat soil will make it more permeable.

Insert wound-dried leaves or shoots into the prepared culture medium. Do not see the light before rooting, keep the soil moist during the period, but there should be no water accumulation, and maintain a temperature of more than 20.

It will take about 3 to 4 weeks for it to take root. In fact, there is not much difference between leaf cuttings and cuttings, but the leaves are convenient to take and have little impact on the mother plant. Cuttings may have a subtle effect on the mother plant, but they are harmless, and the survival rate of cuttings is very high, and the rooting is faster.

Yushu is a plant suitable for growing in warm and humid environments, and it has two cuttings methods, leaf cuttings and branch cuttings. After cuttings, pay attention to the correct maintenance method.

First, the method of cutting jade trees.

1.Cutting time.

The cutting time of jade tree is usually selected in spring and autumn, the climate is mild and suitable, and the jade tree is easy to recover its growth after cuttings to meet the growth needs of plants.

2.Potting soil preparation.

Yushu cuttings use loose, fertile and sandy soil with good drainage. Peat, plain sand, and vermiculite are selected according to the ratio of 1:3:3 to prepare and mix, and the nutrients are sufficient. Choose terracotta pots and plastic pots with good air permeability, and the size is selected and prepared according to the size of the plant.

3.Shoot cuttings.

Select the thick branches of the jade tree, cut them off, the length is about 8-10 cm, and the branch buds can be kept 2-3 pieces. Use potassium permanganate solution to soak for 24 hours of disinfection and sterilization treatment, and after drying, insert it into the prepared potting soil to a depth of about 3 cm, cover the soil compact, and water it thoroughly at one time.

4.Leaf cutting method.

Select the leaves that grow luxuriantly on the jade tree plant, pick the fresh leaves, and place them in a container for two days. Watering every 2 days, and after 20 days of curing, the leaves will germinate new leaf buds. If the leaves are still fresh, take them out of the container and find that their roots have grown, indicating that the cuttings have been successful.

Second, the maintenance method.

1.Temperature. After cuttings, Yushu is suitable for growing in an environment with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, and it needs to be wrapped with plastic film in winter to avoid the temperature being too low to affect rooting and germination.

2.Illumination. After cuttings, the jade tree is not suitable for direct sunlight, and needs to be properly diffused to carry out normal light after rooting and germination.

3.Moisture content. After the jade tree cuttings are wet, the soil is moist and there is no need to water, and the soil is slightly dry and watered when the Qingbi is poor. Do not over-water, it is easy to cause water accumulation.
