Don't buy Kalanchoe blossfeldiana - pick up a leaf and it will grow into a bursting pot
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana leaves are thick, plump and glossy green, and when they bloom it's like a waterfall. Many gardening enthusiasts love them. Those of you planning to buy Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, stop right there - Huahua will teach you how to grow a bursting pot from just 1 leaf and save a ton of money!
1. Choose healthy leaves
Pick healthy leaves off the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana plant. When picking, you can include a little bit of stem - this makes them root faster.
2. Put the leaves in a ventilated spot to dry for 1 day
Place the picked leaves in a cool, ventilated place to dry out the wounds. Just 1 day is enough to promote wound healing.
3. Insert the leaves into soil
Sterilize river sand in the microwave, then put it in a flower pot, water it thoroughly, and insert the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana leaves into the river sand. It's best to insert them at an angle - this speeds up rooting. Put them in a spot with indirect light and good ventilation, and water whenever the river sand dries out.
4. Roots appear after 2 weeks
After about two weeks, the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana leaves will have rooted.
5. After 1-2 months, transplant into flower pots
After about 1-2 months, the leaves will have grown new shoots. To help them grow better, you can transplant them separately into other flower pots. Apply decomposed cake fertilizer or chicken manure fertilizer once every month to make the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana grow into a bursting pot.
6. Pinch off the tips when 4-5 pairs of leaves have grown
Place them on a sunny south-facing balcony for care, and water whenever the soil dries out. When the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana reaches 6 cm and has grown 4-5 pairs of leaves, you need to pinch off the tips - this produces more side shoots and makes the plant shape fuller.
7. After 3 months, the leaves are densely packed
During the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana's growing period, apply fertilizer promptly. Water once a month with fish tank water or apply a compound fertilizer to make the stems grow thicker and sturdier, with leaves densely packed and so green they drip oil!
Don't buy succulents - pick up a leaf and they'll rapidly fill a pot
Chubby succulents are truly loved by everyone. Huahua has grown lots of beautiful succulents at home, basically all from leaves swiped from friends or neighbors. Hehe, it saved quite a bit of money. Come see how Huahua does it!
1. Choose healthy succulent leaves
When picking leaves, be careful not to pick ones with pests or diseases. Choose thick, plump and healthy leaves and gently twist them off.
2. Let the leaves dry for 2 days
The spot where the leaf was picked will form a wound. If you put it straight into soil, it can easily get infected by pathogens, so be sure to put it in a ventilated, cool place for 1-2 days to let the wound dry.
3. Lay the leaves flat on the soil
Vermiculite or river sand is very suitable for succulent rooting. First water the soil a little to make it slightly moist, then let the leaves lie on the soil surface. When you notice the soil surface turning white, spray a little water.
4. After 2-3 weeks, the leaves grow new shoots
After about 2-3 weeks, you'll see lots of tender new shoots and big white roots. Water whenever the potting soil dries out.
5. Put them on a sunny south-facing balcony
Put the succulents on a south-facing balcony to ensure plenty of light, making the leaves grow thicker and plumper with better color. Water once a month with homemade fruit peel nutrient solution or bury some crushed eggshells in the soil to make the succulents burst out of the pot.
Don't buy Sansevieria trifasciata - pick up a leaf and it will rapidly grow tall
Sansevieria trifasciata is an especially easy plant to grow. Not only is it tenacious, its propagation ability is also excellent. Casually toss a leaf in soil and it will root, bursting one pot after another. Learn the leaf-to-bursting-pot method from Huahua!
1. Choose healthy leaves
If you choose a relatively long leaf, cut it horizontally into small sections, each about 6 cm long. If it's a short leaf, there's no need to cut it into sections.
2. Let the Sansevieria trifasciata sections dry out their wounds
Put the small sections in a ventilated, cool place to dry for 1 day to let the wounds heal.
3. Insert the leaves into soil
First put loose, breathable sandy soil in the sun to sterilize it, then put it in a pot, water it a bit to make the soil moist, and insert the dried leaf sections into the soil at a depth of 3 cm. Put them in a spot with indirect light and ventilation.
4. Spray water whenever the soil dries out
If you notice the soil is dry, don't water too much at once - to prevent the leaves from rotting, you can spray water on the pot surface.
5. After 2-3 weeks, roots form and small shoots emerge
Within about 2-3 weeks, the Sansevieria trifasciata leaves will have grown roots. Put them in a sunny spot for care, water only when dry, and apply a compound fertilizer once a month to make the little Sansevieria trifasciata grow rapidly with thick, green leaves!
