Leaf insertion, as the name implies, means to insert a leaf into a plant. Many people insert leaves, and the sowing method turns out that the leaves rot and blacken without success. In fact, leaf insertion is not as difficult as we think. Actually, it's a very easy thing to do. Let's talk about how to propagate succulent plants by cutting leaves.

The time of leaf insertion should be chosen in spring and summer, the temperature should be more than 15 degrees, and the summer temperature is relatively high, which does not affect seedling emergence.

To select leaves, to choose leaves broken from healthy plants, can be in the lower part of the stem, select strong leaves, shake it left and right to take it off. The leaves should be fresh and soaked in the ratio of carbendazim 1: 1: 1000 for 10 minutes and exposed to the sun for 2 to 3 hours to fully heal the plant wound. It is best to place the leaves in ventilated and bright conditions for three to four days, no more than seven days at most. If the leaves are slightly wilted or soft, they can be treated well and the leaves may emerge successfully.

After the leaves are selected, we choose the soil, and the soil we choose humus soil, because the seedlings need a lot of nutrition after they are unearthed, so the leaf planting soil needs to retain water and moisture, and the seedlings are still very fragile. it is just that the fertility of humus soil can make up for this vacancy for the time being, so experienced drivers will choose humus soil for succulent leaf insertion. We spray the soil layer completely with carbendazim at a ratio of 1: 1: 1000, cover it with a film, expose it for two to three days, and uncover the film for one or two days, so that the soil has enough time to sterilize.

We use a generous shed to basin the soil, 2.*30CM, there are no holes under the basin, the general thickness of the soil is three to five centimeters, the soil is paved, and then spray the soil with 1: 1, 000% carbendazim to damp. Don't have stagnant water. It is not recommended that novice Xiaobai insert the leaves directly into the soil, because the wounds of some plants in the new leaves have not fully healed, and the soil is not sterilized, and the insertion will cause bacterial infection, resulting in leaf decay. So the appropriate thing to do is to lay the leaves directly on it.

After most of the leaves emerge, about 15 days after emergence, you can untie the film, spray water once every three days a week before emergence, maintain soil moisture, do not irrigate heavily, cover the basin with film and poke a few small holes, about a week or so, the leaves will remove roots or emerge, at this time, you can cover the film during the day, open the ventilation at night, and spray some water on the seedlings every night after emergence. It's very resistant. Don't worry about dying if you have too much water.

It is easy to manage after emergence, as long as the soil epidermis is dry and sprayed with water. generally, the leaves can be inserted in spring and can be managed in autumn. You must bear it in summer, and the fleshy seedlings are not recommended to move the pot. some leaves do not seem to move after a month, and it will take root and sprout. do not worry that the leaves will be broken after a long time, even if some leaves are warped up. It will still get into the dirt.

Well, at this point, do you want to try to feel the fun that the next leaf insert brings to you? from then on, you will love your little life. After success, you will have a small sense of achievement and marvel at the wonder of life!
