Some people like leafy cuttings, not to breed and sell, but to enjoy all kinds of surprises and expectations that leafy cuttings bring. You can also try. In fact, it is not difficult to insert leaves. What is needed is patience + patience + pondering. At the beginning, the curator also failed many times, but every time he summed up the experience from the failure, he tried again to gain experience through constant exploration and adjust the formula of the soil. Adjust the light, the depth of the leaf basin and what kind of leaf planting method is suitable for this variety. Slowly, the curator's leaf insertion success rate is getting higher and higher. Let's teach you how to insert leaves.

Because the curator likes all kinds of iron basins, succulent plants and leaf inserts are mainly tin pots (experience has found that the northern region does not seem to be suitable for red pottery pots, such as red pottery pots, which are especially breathable. The weather is dry, and the soil is easy to lose moisture. On the contrary, it is plastic and iron basins that succulent plants grow better), but in summer, iron basins should be protected from shade. The curator's way is to put some shelter around the pots. Sunshade net or plank, so as to insulate, so as not to basin soil temperature is too high, damage to succulent roots.

After the selection of the pot for leaf insertion, I will first lay a large grain of light stone with a thickness of 3-5cm at the bottom of the basin (the specific thickness is judged according to the depth of the basin, it is recommended that the seedlings of deep leaves grow faster)

Then there is the matching soil, the curator's soil allocation is more complex, but the personal success rate is still very high, ha. The matching soil includes coconut bran, small broken light stone, bamboo charcoal, granular soil for Alice wild vegetables, red jade, deer algae, rice husk ash (it is recommended to add an appropriate amount of granular soil for Alice wild vegetables containing a certain amount of slow-release fertilizer, which can provide some nutrients for succulent plants). After mixing these soils, mix coconut bran and all kinds of granular soil at 1:1.

After mixing, lay 0.5-1cm thick pure vermiculite on the surface of the basin covered with large light stone (the purpose of laying pure vermiculite is for better rooting. Vermiculite is the most suitable medium for rooting in all media. Of course, the soil under vermiculite is wet soil. After being covered with vermiculite, vermiculite will quickly absorb the excess water in the soil below, and after rooting and budding, vermiculite will quickly absorb the excess water in the soil below. You can judge whether you need watering according to vermiculite. If vermiculite is dry, then the soil below is almost dry, so it can be watered.

After laying vermiculite, you can put the varieties you want to insert leaves on the soil surface. (what I want to say here is that not all leaves are suitable to be placed directly on the soil surface, such as quiet Night, Chihuahua, Jade Butterfly and so on. The curator found that putting the leaves weak first and then inserting them will greatly increase the success rate. Round leaves such as mages are suitable to be placed on containers or desks so that they have sprouted and rooted and then placed on the soil surface. Otherwise it will directly melt the water or kill it! )

What we need now is to wait quietly for white peonies, such as white peonies, which will basically sprout in about a week, and there is a good chance that there will be bulls, purple pearls, mostly double-headed pearls, and most of them have three heads. Half of one head and half of two heads.

After more than ten days of leaf insertion, you can clearly see that the new buds have grown up, individual buds haven't come out yet, or it doesn't matter if there are only buds or roots. Time can change everything. Wait patiently. When the small buds inserted by the leaves come out, you should carefully observe the dryness and humidity of vermiculite. If vermiculite is completely dry, you can spray water with a spray can to water the soil below. Small seedlings with leaves need more water than big ones, so it won't be a problem to have more water. (and from this time on, the scattered light placed in the leaf should be moved to a place where there is plenty of sunshine, otherwise the new buds on the leaves will begin to grow.)

After the emergence of the new buds, you will find that the old leaves gradually begin to melt water or dry up, which can be completely ignored, which is a normal phenomenon. Wet places in the south can be watered with appropriate carbendazim. In fact, there is bamboo charcoal in the soil, which can also avoid mold infection, so the curator still recommends adding appropriate bamboo charcoal when planting succulent plants.

When inserting leaves, the curator specially experimented with two large bowls, the mouth of the bowl was very large, the diameter of 25cm was about the same, but the bowl was 8cm high, the soil was mixed, and the planting environment was the same. The leaves were also leaves broken off from the mother plant of the same white peony, but they were not compared with the leaves in the caliber 17cm high 15cm in the tin bucket. At present, the largest diameter of the white peony in the tin bucket already had 4.5cm, but the largest one in the bowl was only about 2cm. So a deep container is still very important.

Finally, I would like to say that Ye must be patient + patient + ponder ~
