After transplanting is complete, place it in a ventilated and shady spot; around 20°C is most suitable for the leaves to sprout. Wait patiently for about a month, and you can get a complete jade plant.

3. African violet

The African violet is one of the potted plants most suitable for growing indoors. It does not like strong light and prefers a moist and warm environment. With simple care, it can grow luxuriantly.

Cultivation method: mix peat soil + perlite at 1:1. Prepare slightly moist potting soil in advance, remove the leaves and insert them together with the petioles into the soil 3 cm deep, place in a shaded and ventilated spot, and keep the temperature at around 20°C.

4. Mother of thousands (Bryophyllum)

The plant most suitable for lazy people to try is none other than mother of thousands. As the name suggests, "falls to the ground and roots." You only need to prepare moist, nutrient-rich potting soil in advance, remove the leaves, place them directly on the potting soil, then put them in a ventilated and shady spot and wait for them to root. When the seedlings grow to 2 cm, they can be transplanted.

6. Rubber tree leaf cuttings

Rubber tree leaves can also root and can grow into a big tree. Isn't that amazing too? Rubber tree leaves are best with one leaf and one bud, as this makes it easier to produce small plants after rooting. For the cutting medium, sand, vermiculite, or water are all fine.
