How to propagate aloe vera through leaf insertion
The editor will answer your questions about the propagation of aloe vera flowers. How to propagate aloe vera through leaf insertion? Next, let the editor introduce to everyone.
Among the propagation methods of succulent plants, leaf insertion is very common. Some flower friends ask how to propagate aloe vera through leaf insertion. This question seems simple, but few people can really do it successfully. Most of them end in failure. Next, let's take a look at the matters related to aloe vera cutting.
If you want to propagate aloe vera through leaf insertion, it is best to choose leaves that have rooting tissue, that is, the white part at the bottom of the leaves, the more the better. Place the leaves in a cool and well-ventilated place to dry for two days, wait for the wound to heal, and then insert them. It is best to use a medium with good breathability and water permeability, such as sand. It is recommended to insert in moist soil. After inserting, do not water. When the soil is dry, water a little to avoid rotting leaves.
However, if it is just half of an aloe vera leaf without any rooting tissue and you want to insert it, the survival rate is very low. Successful cases are only found in legends. This method is to place the aloe vera leaf in a cool and well-ventilated place to let the wound heal, and then insert it lying down, as shown in the figure below.
The above image is from a flower friend's cutting, which took more than half a month and ended with the leaves rotting in the end.
If flower friends want to get aloe vera from elsewhere, we just need to cut off the lateral buds or branches, which has a higher survival rate. Because for aloe vera, the part with rooting tissue is easier to survive and root.
The above small experience about how to propagate aloe vera through leaf insertion can provide help for you in life!
