How to plant the plucked succulent leaves
For the plucked succulent leaves, we can plant them through cutting. Let's understand the planting method of succulent leaf cutting.
How to plant the plucked succulent leaves: treating the leaves
Firstly, the plucked succulent leaves cannot be planted directly, as the wounds on the leaves can easily get infected and rot when they come into contact with water. We need to disinfect the wounds of the succulent leaves and place them in a cool and well-ventilated area to dry. Only when the wounds are dry can we start leaf cutting.
Preparing the soil
When cutting the succulent leaves, it is necessary to use soil that is breathable and has some water retention ability. River sand is generally the most suitable. After preparing the river sand, we need to disinfect it to prevent any residual bacteria or eggs from affecting the health of the succulents.
Starting the leaf cutting
After the succulent leaves are properly treated, we can start leaf cutting. First, wet the surface of the soil with water, then place the succulent leaves flat on the soil, making sure not to place them too closely together, as it may affect the rooting of the succulents. Then, place the succulents in a cool and well-ventilated area for care.
After the leaf cutting of the succulent leaves, do not expose them to direct sunlight. It is best to place them in a location with scattered light for care. Excessive sunlight can cause the moisture in the succulent leaves to evaporate and is not conducive to root growth. At the same time, maintain good ventilation and avoid excessive watering. If the soil is relatively dry, we can spray water appropriately. In about half a month, the succulent leaves can take root.
