Materials for leaf cutting propagation

Soil

The propagation of alum root and leaf cuttings requires the selection of appropriate soil. Vermiculite, perlite and peat soil can be mixed into a medium, or water moss can be used

The medium for leaf insertion needs to ensure a certain humidity and air permeability, and the mixed medium is better

Utensils

For leaf cutting propagation of alum root, you can choose a general seedling basin. However, in order to facilitate the observation of the growth of alum root, you can choose a transparent vessel

Material of leaf insert

For blade insertion, it is necessary to select suitable blade insertion materials. Select intact healthy leaves with base on alum root plants

When picking leaves, gently break off the leaves of alum root from the bottom, and try to choose larger leaves, which will take root faster

Leaf cutting propagation

Reproductive steps

Put the prepared medium in the Petri dish and put the removed leaves on the medium. You can put 3-5 leaves. Continue to add the medium. Be careful not to break the leaves of alum root

Fill the Petri dish with the medium and pour enough water. The watering force should be small and do not disperse the medium

Blade insert curing

After the alum roots and leaves are inserted, pay attention to maintenance, keep the medium moist, and put them in a shady place for maintenance to ensure ventilation. The curing temperature should be controlled between 10 ℃ - 30 ℃. Generally, it can take root in about a month. Pay attention to maintaining humidity. We should be patient to wait for the growth of alum root. Don't pull it out to watch at will. We should control our hands, otherwise the survival rate will be reduced. When the root system of alum root grows, transplanting and colonization can be carried out, and normal maintenance can be carried out after transplanting
