The knowledge of leaf insertion of succulent plants must be learned carefully.

Ye Cha's event is a milestone commemoration for everyone who loves succulent plants, and it is a necessary way to prove whether a flower friend is knowledgeable in the succulent world. Therefore, Ye Cha appears to be in full swing no matter when and where, especially in front of novices.

Many novices envy some non-novice flower friends whose meat is particularly good-looking, very decent and beautiful, and so on. As a result, there will always be a lot of novices asking Ye Jian Mei's little friend, "how did you cut out such a beautiful seedling?" Why do my leaves always feel not beautiful enough? " Then, your little friend will tell you that moisture, light, ventilation, plant materials and so on are very important. Pay attention to how to do it, so you can plant beautiful succulent seedlings like me.

It seems that there are no omissions in the past, and the answer seems to be flawless, but in fact there are still omissions. Even if you are good at inserting leaves, there have been times when leaves are not good-looking, and who has not started? so it is normal for everyone to insert seedlings that are not good-looking at first, not to mention normal phenomena such as hanging seedlings after leaves are inserted. Beginners always encounter. I must encourage you, almost no one can do well at the beginning, need to explore in order to make progress, so leaf insert failure or bad children's shoes, do not be discouraged.

Many beginners may come into contact with leaf cuttings as soon as they get started. As a result, many novices for leaf insertion, first of all will look for a variety of leaf insertion experience posts, so they begin to read, and then practice. However, after successful leaf insertion, you will find that why my leaf seedlings are not correct or beautiful enough. I also consider them comprehensively according to other people's experience. Why are the seedlings not as good-looking as others? Sometimes even the leaf insertion fails or the seedlings die easily after emergence.

Light to do a good job of normal maintenance of moisture, light, ventilation, plant materials and so on is not enough, because these are only the support of the auxiliary environment, the most important thing is the source of their own construction. Just like the red jade soil we use, the good quality red jade soil can be used for a long time, while the poor quality red jade soil is easy to be powdered in the environment. It can be seen that the quality of a thing will affect its future development. Therefore, the quality of the leaves we use to insert leaves is also the fundamental decisive factor that can affect the quality of leaf seedlings. Therefore, I would like to discuss the choice of using leaves.

Then what kind of leaves are suitable for us to insert?

1. The leaves of general goods are better than those of yours.

The reason why general goods are general goods is that they are easy to breed and have strong vitality, so they propagate quickly, so they spread widely in the north and south of the country. The success rate and speed of inserting leaves with general goods are better and faster than those of expensive goods. Precious goods are not easy to cultivate because of their delicacy, so they breed less, and things are rare, so they are expensive and delicate. The leaf insertion success rate and speed of expensive goods are lower than those of general goods. Some expensive goods are not a bit slow, and some people are worried to death after waiting for more than half a year, but they still won't sprout roots. So general merchandise wins.

2. The leaf is thicker and thinner than the leaf.

Thick leaves accumulate more nutrients, which can better resist external interference and so on. And the nutrient filling of thick leaves can provide themselves with longer survival time to sprout roots. Of course, thick leaves can also transport nutrients to new buds, providing nutrients for longer. Thin leaves are much worse than thick leaves in all aspects, thin leaves are not easy to resist external harm, lack of nutrients may be difficult to supply their own roots and sprouting, even if they sprout, they are likely to dry up and lead to the death of small buds due to lack of nutrients. Succulent plants with thin leaves are more likely to reproduce by beheading and other extreme methods. So thick leaves win.

3. The leaves of plants without hormone fertilizer are better than those without hormone fertilizer.

The ability of plants that have used hormone fertilizer to resist adverse environment will decline a lot as a whole, so the leaves will not be any better, and they are also soft and weak. once there is no support of hormone fertilizer, they are easy to be infected with germs and insect pests, and so on. I'll show you how often I die. But the leaves of succulent plants that have not used hormone fertilizer will have better survival ability, and after natural baptism, the leaves also know that they have to rely on their own efforts to survive. Therefore, the leaves that have not used hormone flower fertilizer win.

4. The hairless leaf is better than the hairy leaf.

This should be mentioned by many people, such as Bear Boy, such as hairy leaves, if it is not the use of branch cutting method, basically rely on the leaves themselves is very difficult to reproduce, of course, there are individual will be inserted, but only a few. Leaves without hair are often better for inserting leaves.

5. The leaves in the middle of the plant are better for leaf insertion.

Here is an analogy to understand, the elderly, children, young and middle-aged people, which of these three types of people have the best immunity? People with intelligence and common sense must know that they are young and middle-aged. Therefore, the leaves at the bottom of the plant, to put it simply, are old, and everything is not as healthy and strong as the leaves in the middle. Because the upper leaves at the top of the plant are not yet grown, they are too tender compared with the leaves in the middle, so they are not suitable for good leaf cutting. Therefore, only the sturdy leaves in the middle of the plant are the best seedlings with good quality of leaf insertion.

6. The leaves of plants with no recent diseases and insect pests and physical damage are better than those of plants with recent diseases and insect pests and physical damage.

Or metaphorically, a young man with a cold and fever or disability runs a marathon with a young man who has always been in good health. Who do you think will run the farthest? Similarly, your IQ and common sense reasoning can tell you that, of course, the person who has been very healthy is in good physical quality after all. So the same is true of leaves used in inserting leaves. Recently, leaves that have been damaged by diseases and insect pests, such as fallen leaves such as black rot, and leaves that have been accidentally torn, are certainly not as good as healthy and strong leaves.

7. Other bad leaves, such as sunburn, brocade, abnormal shape (such as crooked after growing, etc.), and so on, may not be able to insert leaves or leaves that are not very good-looking.

When we choose good leaves and good maintenance methods, we can naturally insert healthier and better-looking seedlings. And the general cotyledons inserted out, will certainly be some general, will not be very good-looking, but will not be very ugly. But the premise of this is that you have to give the leaves a normal environment to sprout. As for the sick or disabled leaves, it depends on the situation. The leaves may not look good, they may die, they may not come out, and so on.

The purpose of writing this article is to emphasize that we should not only pay attention to the auxiliary environmental factors because of the experience of many people, but also pay attention to the factors of the leaf itself, and integrate it in many ways in order to have a near-perfect harvest. Here, we still want to encourage everyone, do not be discouraged or depressed about the failure of leaf insertion, you may have done a good job, but because of the weather change, you may also insert seedlings that are not very beautiful. So do your best and listen to your destiny. God will take care of those who put your heart into it.
