1, to choose a healthy leaf for cutting, when selecting leaves from the top of the plant, you can try to choose the part below the stem, these fleshy leaves will grow more full and mature, and then select those healthy and healthy leaves as the target of leaf cutting.
Shake the leaves as far as possible when you take them. Don't be too rude to cause the leaves to be injured, and don't choose those leaves with mildew spots or yellowing. Moreover, if you find that the leaves are sick, you need to remove the plants in time to avoid infecting other healthy leaves.
2, to dry the leaves, many novices always forget to dry the wounds of the leaves before cutting when inserting succulents. If you don't dry the wounds, it is easy to have black rot, so it is best to dry the leaves for 3 to 5 days before you can insert them into the soil.
3. In fact, if the air humidity is suitable, the humidity can reach more than 75%, then put it in the air, and these leaves can also reach the conditions of rooting and germination. If the air humidity does not meet the conditions of germination, then it is recommended to choose a shallow flowerpot for cutting plants.
4. Selection of soil, which is used to insert succulents. It is suggested that you choose soil with relatively large particles and good water retention and air permeability. It is suggested that you can use peat soil, vermiculite, perlite, river sand, etc., and mix them as cultivation soil, because this kind of soil is most suitable for succulents to survive cutting.
5. Adjust the air humidity, which is different from the soil humidity. The soil only needs to be kept in a slightly moist state. Remember not to be too humid, but if the air humidity is enough, it can be a little wetter than the soil, for example, reaching about 80%, which is the most suitable condition for succulents to take root. What we should pay attention to is that the air humidity is not equal to the soil humidity, which we should not confuse.
6. Pay attention to the arrangement order of leaves. In fact, it is said that leaves are inserted into succulents, and it is not necessary to insert all the leaves into the soil. Just lay them on the surface of the soil, and the leaves can touch the soil. The emitted water vapor can stimulate the leaves to take root and sprout. Of course, if you bury them in the soil shallowly, you can achieve good cutting effect.
7. Leaves are inserted into succulents for follow-up maintenance. Because many succulents have different rooting speeds, some of them may take root in a week or so, while some succulents may have to wait for a month. Therefore, at this stage, except for the black rot and water in the leaves, other situations can be ignored too much, and only one humidity of the air can be maintained. With such patient waiting, the cutting success rate of so many succulents can reach more than 80%.
The fleshy growing environment:
1, succulents need plenty of sunshine. The original environment of succulents is usually sunny desert or wilderness, so they like to grow in sunny environment. When maintaining succulents indoors, put them by a well-lit window or use artificial lighting to supplement the light.
2. succulents need a dry environment. The original environment of succulents is usually arid desert or wilderness, so they don't like wet environment. When maintaining succulents indoors, keep the environment dry and avoid high humidity, such as bathrooms, kitchens and other places.
3. succulents need well-ventilated soil. The roots of succulents are shallow, so they need soil with good air permeability to support the growth of roots. Usually, succulents are cultivated with loose and well-ventilated soil such as sandy soil or humus soil, and at the same time, attention should be paid to the drainage of the soil to avoid the damage caused by stagnant water to succulents.
