After the succulent plant leaves sprout, how to deal with the old leaves in order to make the new buds grow healthily?

A flower friend asked, after the succulent plant leaves sprouted, how to deal with the old leaves in order to make the new buds grow healthily? After the succulent leaves are sprouted. The old leaves do not need to be treated, because the new leaves will slowly absorb the water and nutrients of the old leaves, and most of the old leaves will gradually shrink and wither until they are completely dried up. If the new buds have grown but the old leaves are still full, then you can gently break off the old leaves and cut them again.

Should the leaves of succulent plants bask in the sun after sprouting? Succulent plant leaves after sprouting had better not bask in the sun, for fear of causing dehydration and death, just put it in the indoor sunny ventilation place, and so on, you can move out of the outdoor sun for half an hour in the morning and evening after a month.

Can you spray water on the leaves after the succulent leaves are sprouted? Spraying water on the leaves is not recommended after the succulent leaves are sprouted. Because at this time, the absorption of water by the buds is still very weak, it basically depends on the old leaves to absorb water and nutrition, spraying water will cause water and black rot due to excessive moisture, if the basin soil is too dry, you can use a spray can to wet the topsoil.

What is the reason that succulent plant leaves only sprout but do not produce roots? It is easy to cause the phenomenon of long head when the leaf cuttings only grow roots but not leaves and only long leaves do not grow roots. 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.

In this case, in fact, it still follows the solution of the previous two cases, regardless of whether the leaves have roots or not, first bury the growing point in the soil, but do not bury it too deep, just 2mm away from the surface of the soil. If the leaves are allowed to grow in this way, it will consume the nutrition of the mother leaves, so we should find ways to let the neck of the new buds come into contact with the soil to promote their roots.

What is "whole leaf cutting"? Is to use intact leaves as cuttings. It can be divided into two types according to the cutting position. Flat method: cut off the petiole, spread the leaf on the sand surface, fix it on the sand surface with an iron needle or bamboo needle, and then close to the sand surface below. If it takes root on the ground, it produces young plants from the leaf edge; begonia produces plants from the leaf base or vein; the leaf of Begonia is larger and can be cut off with a knife on each fine and strong leaf vein, and young plants occur at the cutting place. Another method is direct insertion, also known as petiole insertion: the petiole is inserted into the sand, the leaf stands on the sand, and adventitious buds occur at the base of the petiole. When paulownia leaves are inserted, small bulbs first occur at the base of the petiole, followed by roots and buds.
