Violet leaf cutting propagation method, learn it in a few simple steps

I. Timing

The timing for this method should preferably be after flowering, roughly after May, when the temperature is also higher and more suitable for leaf cutting operations.

II. Preparation

1. Select plump, fleshy flower stems with intact leaves and cut them off; each flower stem only needs two leaves. After cutting, place them 2. in a cool, shaded place to dry for about 2 days, so the wounds become somewhat dry.

3. Prepare a pot of plain sandy soil, and water the sandy soil thoroughly, but do not make it too wet.

4. Just maintain the temperature above 18 degrees.

III. Method

1. Insert the prepared stems directly into the sandy soil. If temperature and humidity cannot be maintained, you can wrap the whole thing with plastic film, open it to let it breathe around midday during the day, and at the same time spray some water to increase humidity.

2. After about 20 days, it will produce roots, and in about 60 days you can see small buds sprouting. At this time, the two leaves from the leaf cutting will also gradually dry up; this is normal and there is no need to worry too much. When the seedlings have become stronger, they can be placed in the sunlight. From leaf cutting to flowering takes about more than half a year. During this period, friends need to maintain temperature and humidity and take careful care, otherwise it will be very difficult for it to bloom.

The above is the specific method of leaf cutting. Although this method has a relatively high survival rate, it cannot guarantee the quality of the plant, especially the quality of flowering. However, friends can give it a try, especially beginners; using it as practice is also a good choice.
