1、 Reasons for selecting blade inserts

Leaf cutting is a kind of propagation method that separates the leaves of plants from their mother, then inserts them into the matrix and waits for them to take root. For leaf cutting, it is suitable for plant species with thick leaves. The leaves of cheeky plants just meet this requirement, so we say that leaf cuttings are mostly used in fleshy flowers

2、 Specific method

Choice of time: generally, we will choose its vigorous growth period for operation. At this time, the plant is more dynamic

Selection of materials: in order to improve the survival rate, we need to select those strong and disease-free plants as the mother for leaf cutting

The choice of container: the first is drainage, and then smaller, because meat is generally smaller

Selection of substrate: this also has important nutrition for the survival rate, which needs to be selected by comprehensively considering various factors. Considering the drainage of the matrix, the abundance of nutrients and other reasons, we can mix pearl stone and vermiculite together, which is easier to meet the needs of leaf cuttings

Specific steps: first, cut some fleshy leaves with some lignification from the base of the mother plant. At this time, we can't cut directly, but we should dry it for two or three days, and then dry its wound. After drying, insert the leaves into the prepared matrix. Then, cover the container with a little plastic cloth, which is conducive to maintaining humidity; In addition, it is also necessary to ensure the appropriate temperature. Make all kinds of conditions in a suitable state, so that after waiting for about three to five weeks, it can take root, which is regarded as success
