Friends who love succulent plants are usually meticulous, serious, and good at discovering beauty in life. However, taking good care of a succulent plant is not an easy task.
In the past two years, succulent plants have gradually become popular. Many people have a cactus, aloe vera, or a combination of succulents next to their computers. (Some people say that placing a cactus next to a computer can prevent radiation. Whether it's true or not is hard to say.) Some friends also place some succulents with fat leaves on their office desks, such as peach eggs, jade dew, etc.
However, relatively speaking, the common Guanyin lotus is quite popular. Guanyin lotus, a plant from the Crassulaceae family, is native to mountainous areas in France, Italy, Spain, and other places. Now, it is widespread everywhere, and it is even called the "king of common succulents" by friends in the succulent community due to its common presence.
Although Guanyin lotus is relatively common, it is still loved by many friends. Its growth state resembles Guanyin's lotus seat, and its leaves are flat and long, with some leaf tips even having beautiful purple-red colors, making it widely loved by everyone.
But how should Guanyin lotus be propagated through cutting? What is the survival rate of cutting? How to improve the survival rate of Guanyin lotus? This article will discuss these three questions with you. Let's analyze them one by one below.
Most succulent plants can be propagated using strong leaves for cutting, but not Guanyin lotus. The propagation method of Guanyin lotus is on the small Guanyin lotus that grows on the side.
Therefore, when we propagate Guanyin lotus through cutting, we need to remove the small Guanyin lotus one by one from the old stem of the plant, then消毒 them on the side, and finally choose what method to propagate.
How to propagate Guanyin lotus through leaf cutting
There are three methods for propagating succulents: soil propagation, air propagation, and water propagation. Among these methods, soil propagation is relatively reliable. Water propagation can easily lead to black rot, and air propagation is not easy to root.
After choosing the propagation method, the next step is to take good care of the plants.
Usually, when we care for mature plants, we don't need to water them a lot, and they also need to be exposed to sunlight. However, for Guanyin lotus seedlings, it's different. They need to be watered frequently (mature plants can use the moisture from the stem, while seedlings need more water in the early stage) and should not be easily exposed to sunlight.
Lastly, you can also add some root powder to the soil, which can help Guanyin lotus grow faster.
