How to plant mirror grass with leaves

1. Leaf cutting time

You need to choose the right time to do leaf cuttings of mirror grass. It can be done in late summer or early autumn. Do not do it in the cold winter. The temperature drops rapidly in winter. If the cuttings are not done in a greenhouse, the leaves will be frozen and will not be able to take root.

2. Choose the blade

The leaves used for leaf cuttings should be strong enough and should not show any signs of being damaged by pests or diseases. Try to choose leaves that are a little more mature. If you use newly grown young leaves, they will easily rot when you cut them.

3. Prepare the soil

Before cuttings, loose nutrient soil should be prepared, at least sandy soil containing humus. Avoid using soil with poor drainage, as it is not conducive to the leaves sprouting new roots.

4. Start leaf cuttings

Place the cut leaves in the soil, not too deep, compact them with a small amount of soil, and make sure the temperature is not too low. You can also insert the strong stems and leaves into the soil, press the soil down, spray some water on it appropriately, and wait for it to sprout new small roots. Do not water leaf cuttings too much, as this will affect the chances of the leaves taking root and surviving.
