How to care for the succulent "Bear Child"
An introduction to how to care for the succulent "Bear Child" and share leaf propagation methods, with detailed information provided below.
Bear Child is an adorable succulent that looks different from ordinary succulents and also propagates differently, always doing something special. In terms of leaf propagation, Bear Child consistently achieves a survival rate of "competing for second place, ensuring the second last place," striving to be the last and ensuring the second last, which can be quite frustrating. Actually, Bear Child can also become a large grower using just one parent plant, but it requires a slightly different method than the usual leaf propagation, needing a bit more "cutting" instead.
Before introducing how to properly propagate Bear Child through leaf cutting, I'll first share the heartfelt thoughts of those who have failed many times in propagating Bear Child!
"This ungrateful bear! I've cared for you with all my heart and effort, but all I get are roots and no leaves. What's going on? Are you messing with me? If I try leaf propagation with Bear Child again, I'll be the even more foolish one!" Don't believe such words from succulent enthusiasts. When the season for leaf propagation arrives, the most active in propagating Bear Child leaves are usually the ones who failed last time.
No need to dwell on sad stories. Let's move on to the "key step"! It's actually very simple! We turn the leaves of Bear Child used for leaf propagation into branches. Bear Child still retains a bit of the succulent's characteristic: as long as a leaf carries a split stem that is half the size, no matter how small the stem is, the survival rate will significantly increase! It's hard to grasp it just by explaining, but a picture will make it clear how to cut.
Just like the picture above, isn't it just a little more than usual when cutting Bear Child leaves? And this little bit is very crucial. Without this small stem, leaf propagation of Bear Child will result in疯狂 rooting but no bud growth! With this small stem, root growth is a breeze!
How to care for the succulent Bear Child
Of course, because of this small stem, we need to use disinfected knives when taking leaves from the parent plant, as it's easy to cause infection to the mother plant and the leaves. Apart from that, just follow the usual method of leaf propagation for succulent propagation. First, place the leaves in a shaded, well-ventilated area for a few days, then place them on soil with scattered light and wait for them to germinate and root.
Especially with the current temperature, it's very suitable for the rooting and sprouting of Bear Child leaves. Why not try it, fellow succulent enthusiasts? As long as you don't expose it to freezing temperatures outside and don't expose it to too much sunlight, this extra bit of cutting can ensure that the process and results of leaf propagation of Bear Child are as you wish! Go for it, fellow plant enthusiasts!
