Select healthy leaves

The most important factor affecting the success of blade insertion is whether the blade is full or not. After removing the blade, dry the root slightly, and then carry out subsequent operations

Soil environment

The leaf cutting environment requires relatively flat and dry, and the soil is slightly wet. In spring and autumn, the cutting temperature shall be controlled at 15 ~ 20 ℃ to avoid direct sunlight

Blade placement

Although it is called leaf insertion, it is not necessary to put the whole root of the blade into the soil, as long as the blade is placed flat on the soil surface with its back up. After placement, try not to move the blade to avoid affecting budding

New life germination

After 1 ~ 2 weeks, small red roots will emerge. At this time, gently bury the roots in the soil and pour a small amount of water. If small buds appear first, you can drop a small amount of water below the buds, which makes it easier to take root in the soil for a certain period of time

It should be noted that the early leaves are very fragile, so the action must be gentle, otherwise the roots that grow accidentally may break~

Later maintenance

Huang Li is drought tolerant and does not need to water too much. However, for newborn seedlings, the water storage capacity is poor. In the initial stage, it mainly depends on the cutting leaves to supplement water and nutrition. With the drying of the mother leaves, the water source is interrupted, so it is necessary to observe more and supplement water

After the root or bud, you can gradually accept the sun. However, due to the high ultraviolet rays in summer, the seedlings need to be gradually transferred and cannot be directly exposed at once
