Let's talk about the knowledge related to succulents, specifically the methods for dealing with no sprouting after rooting succulent leaf cuttings. Keep reading for more information!
Many hobbyists who enjoy leaf propagation may encounter a situation where succulent leaf cuttings root but do not sprout. Often, if no sprouts appear after more than a month, there is no hope, and the cuttings are discarded to make room for others. Sometimes, even after a month, the leaves look fine, so they are left waiting, perhaps in anticipation of a miracle. Continuing to wait may result in the leaves rotting or other mysterious disappearances.
Here is an accidental experience of the author, summarized for reference:
The author's leaf cuttings only rooted without sprouting. The author used a blade to make a light cut near the base, at the bud point. Very gently, just breaking the outermost layer of skin, a little moisture came out, which is not visible in the photo. As a result, the healing tissue clearly showed a bud point!
Although this was just an accidental method, it is worth considering for fellow hobbyists who encounter the same issue.
Ps: Leaf propagation simply involves placing the leaves flat on the soil surface, in diffused light, and waiting for the seedlings to grow a bit larger before gradually exposing them to more sunlight. Generally, after roots appear, a little soil is used to cover them, and then the soil is kept slightly moist. Usually, when there are no roots or sprouts, the soil can be dry, but my personal habit is to use a spray bottle, spraying in the morning and evening to keep the soil surface slightly damp. As they are placed in a well-ventilated area on the balcony, it doesn't matter if the leaf surface gets wet, as it dries quickly.
