How to propagate succulent leaves: timing and methods for propagating succulents.

How to propagate succulent leavesToday's sharing: How to propagate succulent leaves and the explanation of the timing and methods of succulent cutting and propagation in the field of green plants and flowers, next [] the editor will introduce.It is now November, just entering winter, the weather is getting colder day by day, leaves are turning yellow and falling, and flowers are beginning to wither. In people's eyes, winter is a season of desolation, but few people know that winter is also a good time to propagate succulents. Today, I will introduce three methods of propagating succulents to flower lovers, which are easy to learn and have a high success rate!1. Leaf cutting methodSpeaking of the leaf cutting method, flower lovers should be very familiar with it. Even those who don't know how to propagate can often see pictures and videos of succulent leaves being placed in the soil for propagation online. This propagation method is suitable for most succulent varieties, such as common Bear's Breeches, Orostachys, Jade Tree,姬胧月, Chrysanthemum, Peach Bulb, etc., which can all be propagated using this method. However, there are a few varieties that are not suitable for this method, such as Sempervivum, Sedum, and plantain varieties.Let's introduce the leaf cutting method in detail:Firstly, we need to prepare some leaves for propagation. If propagating succulents at home, try to choose leaves that are plump and healthy, and then carefully remove them from the plant by hand. Alternatively, you can purchase the desired variety of leaves online for propagation, which is much cheaper than buying an entire pot.Freshly removed succulent leaves should not be propagated directly, as this can easily cause the wound to rot. Place the leaves in a shaded and well-ventilated area for 5-7 days to allow the wound to heal. Put some succulent soil in the pot and keep the soil slightly moist. If the soil is too dry, water it or spray some water. Then place the dried succulent leaves on the surface of the soil, without inserting them into the soil, just place them on the surface. Make sure to place the front side of the leaves down and the back side up when arranging them, do not mix them up.How to propagate succulent leavesThe temperature for leaf cutting is best between 15-20 degrees Celsius. The temperature inside the house in winter is generally within this range. As long as the propagation pot is placed in a warm and well-ventilated area inside the house, with a little scattered light, it is very easy to root. Keep the soil slightly moist, spray some water to moisten the soil surface when it dries, but do not spray water on the leaves to avoid rotting.Different succulent varieties have different speeds of root growth, some will grow roots first, and some will grow small buds first. For leaves that only grow small buds and not roots, we need to spray more water on the soil surface to induce them to grow roots.As the seedlings grow roots and small buds, the nutrients in the mother leaves will be gradually exhausted and wither. When the small buds grow to about 2 centimeters in size and have more roots, they can be removed from the pot and replanted in a separate small pot.2. Stem cutting method
