How to propagate succulents through cutting
An introduction to the propagation of succulents by cutting and the related information about the timing and methods of cutting green plants, let's understand it together next.
From March to May every year is a good time for leaf cutting of succulents, prepare a loose and nutrient-rich matrix for leaf cutting. Slightly water the matrix before leaf cutting, then place the whole leaf flat on the surface of the matrix without inserting it into the middle of the matrix. Then place the arranged leaves in a well-lit and dry place.
1. Leaf cutting time and soil
The general suitable time for leaf cutting is usually in spring, that is, from March to May, when the climatic conditions and air humidity are relatively suitable for leaf cutting. It's too cold in winter and too hot in summer to achieve results. The soil suitable for succulent leaf cutting should be fertile and loose, and can be mixed with six parts of peat soil and four parts of coarse sand to form a culture medium.
2. Leaf selection
Choose healthy succulent leaves that are necessarily plump and have a good growth momentum. If the leaves have been eaten by worms, they should not be leaf-cutting, as these leaves not only have a very low survival rate but also contaminate the cutting soil. When removing the leaves, it is best to use a sterilized pair of scissors to prevent the leaves from being contaminated.
3. Leaf cutting
Simply place the succulent leaves flat on the surface of the pot soil to take root and propagate. It is generally recommended to use the oblique insertion method, that is, slightly tilt the succulent leaves and shallowly insert them into the pot soil, so that the leaf roots grow directly in the soil. Finally, after leaf cutting, there is no need to water, the moisture in the soil mainly comes from the air, and ensuring sufficient light is enough.
