How do succulent leaves take root
Succulent leaf propagation is a commonly used propagation method, so how do succulent leaves take root? Let's find out below.
Succulent leaves taking root: aerial roots
Place the succulent leaves on the mouth of a glass bottle, put some water in the bottle, and then cover the mouth of the glass bottle with a piece of paper. In this humid environment, aerial roots will grow out.
River sand rooting
First, prepare fine river sand, wash and disinfect it, and then water it thoroughly. Since river sand has good breathability and can also retain moisture, it is very suitable for propagating succulents. Just place the succulent leaves flat on the river sand, and they can take root in about a week.
Cutting propagation
Cutting propagation is similar to river sand propagation, except that it does not use river sand alone. We need to prepare a breathable and moisture-retaining soil for the succulents, then place the prepared succulent leaves flat on the soil, maintain the humidity, and they can take root after a while.
When propagating with succulent leaves, be sure not to place them in an environment with direct sunlight. Because whether the succulents have rooted or just rooted, their ability to absorb water is relatively poor. If the sunlight is too strong, the water will evaporate quickly, and the succulent leaves will not be able to get timely water supplementation, which will cause dehydration and death. At the same time, you also need to maintain the temperature and timing. Only when these conditions are met can the succulent leaves take root.
