If we talk about the plants that are easiest to propagate by cuttings, they should be those that can be propagated by leaf cuttings. When they are propagated by cuttings, you only need to break off a few leaves from the plant and then insert them into the planting soil. In less than a month, you can see tender shoots popping out. Without further ado, today Huahua will recommend to you 5 plants suitable for “leaf cuttings”! 1. PeperomiaChinese evergreen is a common office potted plant. Placing it next to the computer can relieve eye fatigue and it is also very easy to maintain. When propagating Chinese evergreen by cuttings, you can pick a few thick leaves and then place them in a vent to dry. The next step is to prepare the planting soil for the evergreen. Generally, sandy soil with good air permeability can be used. When taking cuttings of Chinese evergreen, it is best to insert it at a 45-degree angle, which is more conducive to rooting. After the cuttings are completed, we can water the Chinese evergreen regularly, so that it will take root in less than half a month. After taking root, the Chinese evergreen will slowly grow new buds. When three or four new leaves are grown, it can be cared for in the normal way. 2. GeraniumGeraniums are flowering flowers that are very suitable for growing at home for viewing. However, what Huahua didn't expect was that geraniums can also be propagated by leaves. First, we break off a few healthy geranium leaves for cuttings, but we don't insert the leaves directly into the soil, but into a sponge. Then prepare a tray with water, put the sponge with the cuttings in the tray, let it slowly absorb water and grow, and after the leaves take root, they can be transplanted into the soil for maintenance. 3. Tiger PiramidTiger Piranha is a common green plant in the home. However, when Sansevieria is cut and inserted directly into the soil, black root rot will always occur. At this time, we can prepare a container, put water in it, and also drop a few drops of nutrient solution. The next step is to put the Sansevieria leaves prepared for cuttings into the water. After placing them, move them to a cool place and wait for them to take root. In this way, the success rate of Sansevieria cuttings will be very high. After germination in water, you can put it in the soil for care. 4. EpiphyllumThe blooming time of Epiphyllum is very short and it happens at night, which makes its already beautiful appearance even more mysterious. Epiphyllum can also be propagated by leaf cuttings, but when doing so, you need to use old leaves that have grown for more than 2 years, then make a few cuts at the bottom of the leaves, and finally plant them in the soil. The germination speed of Epiphyllum leaves may be slow, so don't take them out to check on the germination all the time. When the leaves of Epiphyllum sprout, remember to keep the soil in the pot moist. 5. KalanchoeAlthough the flowers of Kalanchoe are small, they bloom in large numbers and look very pleasing to the eye. Kalanchoe cuttings can also be done with leaves. Select larger Kalanchoe leaves, ventilate and dry them, and then prepare the soil for cuttings. The soil for cuttings of Kalanchoe can be mixed with perlite and garden soil, which can better lock in moisture. Finally, insert the leaves into the soil and you're done. It is best to place the Kalanchoe cuttings in a cool place first, and then move them after they have taken root. The above 5 types of leaf cuttings plants can take root and sprout quickly now. Flower lovers who like them should hurry up, otherwise you will have to wait another year! |
