Multi-flesh leaf propagation
Let me tell you about the knowledge of multi-flesh plants, multi-flesh leaf propagation, and share the detailed content next.
Multi-flesh leaf propagation, also known as multi-flesh leaf insertion, is a common method of multi-flesh plant propagation. It is a very common method for both businesses and ordinary plant lovers. This article is a summary of the experience of multi-flesh leaf propagation based on the plant lovers' own experience, which is very helpful for beginners.
1. Time: The best time for multi-flesh leaf insertion is when the plants have received some sunlight, the leaves have accumulated enough nutrients and are healthy and plump, and the season is suitable for temperature. The middle of spring and autumn are ideal, as the temperature is not only suitable but also has a large temperature difference.
2. Healthy leaves: Healthy leaves accumulate sufficient nutrients, have strong disease resistance, and are easy to root and sprout, with good growth in the later stage.
3. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for leaves to root and sprout is around 15° to 25°C. It is difficult for roots and sprouts to appear at low temperatures. However, slightly lower temperatures (5° to 15°C) may slow down root and sprout formation but also reduce the chance of rotting, as most fungi are dormant at this time.
4. Humidity: Humidity is beneficial for inducing root formation. Plants are actually very smart. After multi-flesh plants are exposed to drought, they will quickly absorb water and store it in thin-walled cells when they sense the presence of water.
5. Disease prevention: Most cases of multi-flesh leaf rotting are caused by fungal infections. Before leaf insertion, soak the leaves in a fungicide solution (500 times) for ten minutes, then take them out and dry them. The remaining solution can be sprayed on the matrix surface.
6. Medication: It is not important. If conditions allow, you can use vitamin B12 or root stimulants to enhance the root formation points before leaf insertion, which is beneficial for root formation.
7. Matrix: The matrix factor has almost no effect before root and sprout formation. It is crucial for the growth of seedlings.
8. Light: No light is needed before roots and sprouts appear in leaf insertion, and even darkness is beneficial for root formation. When inserting leaves, if you have enough patience, it is best to cover the part where the leaves are rooted with a small amount of fine-grained matrix. Of course, after roots and sprouts have formed, sufficient light is needed, as the seedlings have already formed.
9. Fertilization: It can be used to promote the growth of seedlings after roots and sprouts appear. The choice of fertilizer is best a fast-acting liquid fertilizer, such as "Flower More 1" diluted 1000 times or homemade organic liquid fertilizer. Use an eyedropper to add it to the roots, and if it accidentally gets on the leaves, it is best to rinse it off with water.
In conclusion, the ease of root and sprout formation is greatly related to the plant variety. "Black Prince," "Yellow Beauty," "White Peony," "Rainbow Jade," "Star Beauty," etc., are all easy to succeed, especially "Black Prince," which can even become a small seedling when a leaf is thrown on the windowsill, and leaves on flower arrows can also be used.
Here is an additional point about multi-flesh root knowledge:
Multi-flesh plants are native to arid regions, where water conservation is essential for their survival. Therefore, when there are no growth conditions, they remain in a waiting state, especially waiting for the arrival of the rainy season.
When the temperature is suitable and there is a sudden increase in humidity (artificial humidification is also the same), they sense the precious and extremely short rainy season and seize the opportunity to root and absorb water quickly, storing the water in thin-walled cells for later use. If the temperature is very low, they will not root.
This characteristic is even retained in the seeds of multi-flesh plants. After the seeds are dried and refrigerated, they will suddenly feel the arrival of the rainy season when they encounter suitable temperature and humidity conditions, and they will all root and germinate, starting their growth.
The comprehensive knowledge of multi-flesh leaf propagation (detailed) shared above is hoped to be helpful to you.
