How to propagate succulents from cuttings
A little knowledge to share with you on how to propagate succulents from cuttings, and the related experience of flower planting methods and precautions for succulent cutting propagation. It's a great tip, worth collecting!
Succulent plants refer to those with thick and juicy leaves among the three main nutrient organs (roots, stems, and leaves), which can store a large amount of water. The main method of propagating succulents is leaf propagation, but when the branches grow too long, cutting the branches as cuttings for stem propagation is also a good method.
1. Choosing cuttings
Choose a healthy mother plant that is free from pests and diseases, cut about seven centimeters in length, let it air-dry in a well-ventilated area, and then it can be planted; Alternatively, you can wait for the branches to take root before planting, that is, place the branches on a bottle with high humidity first, you can spray water into the bottle, which can prevent the roots from rotting in the soil and speed up the rooting process.
2. Choosing a pot and soil
Choose a large pot and fill it with loose and fertile soil that has good breathability and drainage. Then water the soil thoroughly and use a pen or something else to make a few holes in the soil.
3. Planting process
Evenly insert the branches into the holes and press the surrounding soil firmly. Remember to keep a certain distance between each cutting.
4. Post-planting care
After planting, place the potted plant in a shady place to acclimate to the new environment and closely observe its growth. When the leaves of the plant become upright from wilted, it indicates that the propagation has succeeded. Do not water immediately after planting; wait until the soil is dry before watering again. After the potted plant takes root, it can be maintained normally.
The above sharing on how to propagate succulents from cuttings, propagation methods, and precautions, is for reference by green plant enthusiasts. I hope it can solve your problems in green plant and flower management.
