Leaf cutting propagation of Eupatorium serrata

Prepare the Soil

When propagating Eupatorium sempervivum by leaf cuttings, it is best to choose sandy soil with good drainage and air permeability. It can be mixed with vermiculite, peat and coconut bran.

Select leaves

For leaf cutting propagation, the most important component is the leaves of the Eupatorium. Only with a good foundation can we have a good new life. Therefore, we should break off healthy, mature and complete leaves for cuttings. The base of the leaves needs to be kept healthy and clean.

If you sigh when you see the leaves of the lily of the valley at home falling off, you can pick them up and re-graft them. Maybe you can get a new lily of the valley!

Leaf cutting in progress

After drying for 2 days, place the leaves upside down, slightly tilted or flat on the prepared soil in a small flowerpot. There is no need to insert the blades into the soil.

But the soil must be kept moist.

When new plants grow

After completing the above steps, we don’t need to water it or expose it to light. All we need to do is wait patiently for it to grow new roots.

Do you feel a little relieved when you see a small leaf turning into a complete lily of the valley in your hands?
