How can succulent plants sprout by inserting leaves? Teach you to bury the growing point in the soil and grow new roots.

Succulent leaf cutting propagation, can sprout from the leaves of succulent varieties, similar to the thin snow vanilla, Jixing beauty, such as very small leaves succulent, generally can not 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. Pull out the leaf is to hold it with your hand, and then turn a circle, the leaf will naturally fall. 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.

Leaf insertion of succulent plants is actually quite random, and there are not so many rules and requirements. Excluding the difference in seedling emergence rate caused by their own variety differences, most of the failed leaf cuttings end with three things: drying, dissolving water and black rot. On the contrary, the survival rate of leaf seedlings that are neglected to manage is also good. The soil we often use for leaf planting and sowing is mostly fine-grained soil mixed with vermiculite, peat, coconut bran, perlite and so on. This makes many flower friends think that the maintenance of leaf cutting and sowing is similar. This is a big misunderstanding.

The middle leaves are relatively fatter and fuller than the leaves in the bottom circle. This kind of leaf is equivalent to the middle age of human beings and is the most mature leaf. With adequate nutrition and thick leaves, it can withstand the test of long time and nutrient consumption, and budding is generally the fastest and best. It is best to control the succulent plants for a few days before breaking the leaves, and it is the best time to break them after the leaves are short of water to a certain extent. As shown in the picture above, it is best if the leaves are obviously deformed with a slight pinch. If the leaves are rolled up, the growing point of the leaves is not easy to contact with the soil medium, and the roots can not enter the soil will consume the nutrients of the leaves very much.

Succulent plants with leaves only sprout, but not roots? For the situation that leaves only grow roots, not long leaves and only long leaves without roots, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of many heads. In addition, it is easy to grow roots first and then emerge seedlings. Generally speaking, as long as the meat slices are not dry, they will emerge. Don't worry. You might as well bury the soil gently and pour some water properly to keep the soil slightly wet in an astigmatic and ventilated environment, so that the leaves will grow out soon. For the situation that only leaves but no roots, some flower friends say that you can sprinkle some rooting powder, so that the roots will grow in a few days. No matter whether the leaves take root or not, bury the growing point in the soil first, but not too deep, just 2mm away from the surface of the soil.

Do you want to bask in the sun for succulent plants with leaves? Varieties with thinner leaves, such as Sunset Dance, need to avoid strong light, and varieties with thicker leaves, such as Peach Beauty, have lower requirements for light intensity. By the same principle, the longer the varieties germinate, the more they should avoid exposure to the sun. For example, varieties such as white peony, with regard to the leaf insertion of succulent plants, the external growth environment is very important, which determines the time for seedlings to sprout. We should not be impatient. We can wait a while to see what's going on. For daily maintenance, you'd better give some soft sunshine in the morning, and if the sun is hot, you'd better add some sunscreen measures. For example, I will put the small ones together with the big succulent meat to enjoy the cool next to the big succulent ones.

Mixed seedlings of succulent plants will have an unexpected effect, small succulent plants will grow fatter and bigger than usual, and the growth rate is relatively fast, perhaps competing with each other. If the leaves are black, it is recommended to loosen the soil carefully with toothpicks. Pick it up as a whole, facing the bright place if the leaves are black or there are ugly, crumpled folds on the back, a sign of hydration. During the transition period, the soil is as loose as possible to facilitate root growth, so vermiculite is recommended. There are more mosquitoes in summer. I now use vermiculite to root and rainbow stone paving, so the soil below is soft and suitable for root growth, the soil surface is relatively dry, and worms are not easy to lay eggs.
