African Violet Leaf Propagation Method
This article introduces the relevant knowledge of flower propagation, focusing on the African violet leaf propagation method. Please refer to the detailed introduction below.
The leaf propagation method for African violets is carried out after flowering. Select strong and full leaves, and cut them from the petiole, leaving 2 centimeters. It is best to soak the cut end in 100ppm naphthylacetic acid for 1-2 hours. If there is no naphthylacetic acid, you can also dip the cut end in vitamin B1. This treatment helps to accelerate root growth after leaf insertion.
After the cut end is slightly dried, insert the petiole of the leaf into the sand soil, place it in a shaded area, maintain a higher air temperature, preferably around 21°C. After about 3 weeks, the roots will grow, and new seedlings will appear after 2 months, at which point they can be transplanted into small pots. From cutting to flowering, it takes about half a year.
Using suckers for propagation also yields good results. The cutting can be done between June and July or between September and October, with flowering occurring in October to November or the following March to April.
