The method of propagating rubber tree leaves by cuttings is something that even a novice can learn at a glance!

1. Time Selection

In terms of time selection, it is best to choose June and July, when the surrounding humidity is high and the survival rate is very high.

2. Methods and Process

1. Leaves: Considering that adventitious buds cannot be produced using petioles. You can choose large leaves or terminal buds with a bud at the base so that they can form new plants and develop into new individuals in the later stage. You can use a whole piece or cut it in half with sharp scissors.

2. Matrix: The matrix used must be permeable, conducive to drainage and ventilation, and also ensure nutrition. To achieve this effect, you can mix garden soil, leaf mold and river sand in a ratio of 5:2:1 in daily life. Disinfect before use to effectively avoid bacterial infection in the later stage.

3. Cutting: Insert the leaves into the substrate, with only the bud tip exposed on the substrate, about 3 cm. A piece of glass can be covered on top to effectively prevent moisture evaporation.

4. Later stage: After completion, keep the inside slightly moist and spray some water on the leaves. Generally, it will take root after 30-40 days.
