1、 Leaf inserting method

1. Take leaves

If the leaves have been removed, they can be used directly

If you are picking leaves from a quiet night that grows very strong, don't pick them immediately after watering. Wait until they are slightly dry, so the leaves will be easier to pick

The blade should be taken down at the base. Gently pinch the blade and shake it left and right for a few times, and the blade will fall off

New life comes from the root of the leaf, so if the root of the leaf is not clean, the leaf may not be inserted successfully. Please pay attention to this

After taking off the leaves of succulent plants, first put them in a ventilated and cool place to dry the wound, and then insert them after three or four days to avoid leaf decay

2. Container

Put the fleshy soil into the prepared container and level the soil. Generally speaking, the soil with leaves will be mixed with some vermiculite to keep water. Peat soil, granular soil and vermiculite, the proportion can reach 1:1:1

3. Leaf insert

It's leaf insertion, but it's not to insert the leaves into the soil. Arrange the leaves prepared in step 1 in the container one by one

The direction of the leaf surface should be upward and back downward

However, now there is a new way of leaf insertion, which is to insert the leaf tip obliquely into the soil

In addition, if the climate is suitable, put the leaves on the cement board, and the fleshy leaves will burst out their own cubs

4. Seedling raising

It is also required to wait for fleshy babies to grow. The soil should maintain a certain humidity. Try not to water the leaves when watering, otherwise the leaves are easy to rot

During this period, there is no need for too much light. If the nutrition consumed by mother leaves is accelerated under the irradiation of strong light, the success rate of leaf insertion will be reduced! Put it in a bright and ventilated place without direct light

After the mother leaves grow seedlings, you can appropriately increase the light to avoid overgrowth. Be careful not to flush the seedlings when watering

5. Moving Basin

When the cubs grow up and reach a certain height, they can move the pots. If the mother leaves are still intact at this time, they can be gently broken off and inserted twice or three times. Don't throw them away at once~

2、 Precautions

1. Mother leaf

In the process of leaf cutting, some will wither slowly because the mother leaves need to transport nutrients. You can wait patiently before the leaves wither completely, and more quiet nights may be born, so wait until the mother leaves are completely dry before removing them

2. Order

In the process of leaf insertion, you will find the following situations: 1. Grow roots first, and then burst out cubs. 2. First burst the cub, and then grow roots. 3. Only long roots (or explosive cubs). Don't worry, it's normal

3. Temperature

The temperature of 20-25 degrees is the best leaf insertion temperature. If you are in a hurry, you have to insert more than 15 degrees and less than 10 degrees, but the growth rate will be very slow
