How do you cut succulent leaves? How do you take leaf cuttings in succulents?

1. Prepare the matrix.

The most important thing for a rootless succulent leaf to grow into roots is to prepare a pot of substrate suitable for its rooting and germination. The substrate should be loose and breathable, and it is best to have good drainage and some water retention. The simplest medium is sand, just prepare a pot of fine sand and water it to soak it up.

2. Leaf disinfection.

Many flower friends don't know how to plant a piece of succulent without roots, in fact, it is very simple to plant, as long as the leaves are disinfected in time, which will make the leaves easier to root, and there are many ways to disinfect. One is to dilute the potassium permanganate solution in 1000 times the water, and then soak the incision of the leaf in it for 2 hours and take it out. Another is to smear some plant ash on the incision before planting.

3. Insert the soil.

Place the sterilized leaves face up and place them evenly on top of the substrate that has been placed before. It is best to try to keep each leaf break in contact with the moist substrate. If you don't want to spread it on the substrate, you can also directly insert the shallow oblique end of the broken leaf into the substrate, and maintain the humidity of the substrate in the later stage, and it will take root and sprout after 10 days.

Just stick it in the soil.

Due to the unique way in which succulent leaves store water, even after a long period of separation from the parent body, the leaves remain fresh for a long time, and once they come into contact with the soil, the succulents' regenerative cells come into action to grow roots and new leaves, forming new plants.

After the leaf wound of the succulent plant has healed, you can spread the leaves on the soil surface, do not bury the leaves in the soil, you can press the petiole a little bit into the soil, and of course do not bury it with soil.

Succulent leaf leaf cuttings, using this method, insert one tree and live another.

1. Leaf cuttings are generally carried out in spring and autumn, and it is easier to succeed when the temperature is suitable. The leaves of the middle and lower layers of the plant are carefully removed, placed in a well-ventilated scattered light environment, and the wound can be air-dried naturally. Before the leaves take root, the nutrients are provided by the mother leaves, which do not need to be placed on the soil, packed in a tray, and sprayed with a small amount of water with a fine spray every 2-3 days to prevent the leaves from drying out.

2. When the succulent leaf growth point grows a red cotton thread-like root system, you can start leaf cuttings. Prepare large, shallow nursery pots and slightly damp peat or sandy soils, keep the succulent leaves at a certain distance, and place them on the seedling soil.

3. After all the leaves are neatly arranged, place the seedling pot in a well-ventilated scattered light environment, and spray a small amount of water with fine spray every 2 days to keep the potting soil slightly moist.

4. Succulent leaves usually take about ten days to germinate after rooting, and there are also those that germinate first and then grow roots, and maintain a certain humidity during the rooting and germination of leaves to avoid exposure to the sun. As the root system on the leaves is rooted in the soil, the growth rate of leaf cuttings will also become faster, and when the leaves sprout, the amount of watering can be slowly reduced, and gradually moved to the sun for normal maintenance.

5. With the continuous consumption of leaf cuttings, the mother leaves will slowly and naturally dry up and fall off, and there is no need to artificially peel off. When the leaf cuttings grow to 3-5 cm, and the mother leaves dry up and fall off naturally, they can be transplanted in separate pots, and the leaf cuttings process is successfully completed!
