Which plants can be propagated by leaf cuttings alone?
When it comes to plants that can grow from just a single leaf, there are quite a few, especially the common houseplants we all know, which root so easily it's a pleasant surprise. Today let's talk about a few "leaf-cutting champions" that even beginners can handle with ease. Snake plant (Sansevieria): Just break off a healthy leaf from the snake plant, cut it into sections about 10 cm long, and remember to tell the front from the back (don't insert it upside down, or it won't grow). Let the cuts dry for two days until a thin scab forms. Then find a pot filled with sandy soil, insert the leaf sections diagonally about one third into the soil, water lightly and place in bright, indirect light. After about a month, white roots will quietly appear beneath the soil surface, and before long, small shoots will emerge beside them, identical to the mother leaf.
