1、 Leaf insertion time

The mirror grass leaf should be inserted at a suitable time, which can be carried out at the end of summer or the beginning of autumn, not in the cold winter. In winter, the temperature drops rapidly. If it is not carried out in the greenhouse, the cutting leaves will be frostbitten and unable to take root

2、 Select blade

The leaves used for leaf insertion should be strong enough, and there should be no traces of being invaded by diseases and pests. Try to choose the leaves that grow more mature. If you use young leaves that have just grown, they are easy to rot in cutting

3、 Prepare soil

Before cutting, loose nutrient soil should be prepared, at least sandy soil containing humus. Avoid using soil with poor drainage, which is not conducive to leaf germination and new roots

4、 Start blade insertion

Put the cut leaves into the soil, not too deep, compact with a small amount of soil, and ensure that the temperature is not too low. You can also insert the robust stems and leaves into the soil. You also need to press the soil and spray some water appropriately, waiting for it to germinate new small roots. Leaf cuttings cannot be watered too much, which will affect the probability of leaf rooting and survival
