Spring must be foliage, because spring is the best time to insert leaves in the middle of the year. The temperature is good, the humidity is good, the light is good, in this season (especially in the rainy season), even if you just pick a leaf and throw it on the slate, it can tenaciously give birth to small roots and cubs. You don't even have to worry about leaf insertion, you just need to concentrate on posing.

The success rate of leaf insertion is the highest in spring and autumn, and it can also be inserted in summer, but we need to pay attention to ventilation and cooling; winter is extremely unsuitable for leaf insertion and is easy to melt water. The optimum temperature of leaf insertion is between 20 and 28 degrees, and the best humidity is 60% and 80%. Will grow at the fastest rate in this environment. For small buds, water is always more useful than fertilizer, and when the leaves grow roots, they can keep the soil moist. The speed of leaf sprouting varies according to the variety and environment, usually about 10 to 20 days. It hasn't sprouted for more than two months, as long as the leaves are healthy, don't give up and wait, so a large number of leaves must be collected at the same time.

First of all, it is necessary to select the leaves used for leaf cutting, specifically to achieve these points: the leaves of succulent varieties that can sprout from leaves are similar to succulent plants with small leaves, such as thin snow perennial grass and Ji Xing beauty, which generally cannot be cut but cuttings. Such leaves as the black mage are relatively thin, and the success rate of leaf insertion is very low. Therefore, in general, the characteristics of cuttable leaves are mainly thick leaves and large leaves. Leaves should be selected for mature, healthy, fully developed leaves, not moth-eaten or yellowing leaves. Of course, the young leaves that have just grown are not good either.

We have to choose the soil before we insert the leaves. Generally speaking, the soil we choose is peat, vermiculite and perlite, which is good enough for air permeability. Before the leaf is inserted, the surface of the soil should be smooth, and the soil can be slightly wet, which can accelerate the germination of the leaf. Many beginners will mistakenly think that leaf insertion is to insert the bottom of the leaf straight into the soil, which is a big mistake. The real leaf insertion is to put the leaves flat on the soil, with the leaves tilted upward, trying to simulate the situation of leaves falling in the wild environment.

To sum up, succulent plants such as Red Moon Shadow, Chihuahua, Thousand bergamot and Rainbow Jade are not easy to insert many leaves, and there is a high probability of bulls in first love, blue stone lotus, Ji obscure moon and white peony. The probability of common leaves sprouting and sprouting is high, and their vitality is tenacious, so this may be the reason why they are popular. When the leaf is about the size of the seedling, you can consider moving the seedling, which is convenient for later management. For example, the coin size of the white peony can be moved. When moving, try to move the root with the soil so as not to harm the root system. There is no need for the seedling to trim the root.

Of course, there must be some friends who are unable to insert leaves due to various reasons, and it is also a good choice to choose plants that have been cultivated. Leaf insertion is a very amazing thing for me, watching the leaves slowly take root and sprout and grow up; share the seedlings with the friends around me. The subtle feeling of interaction between plants and people. Life itself is a miracle.

Here is a gathering place for succulent plant lovers, sharing succulent maintenance skills, welcome to follow and exchange.
