Succulent leaf cuttings grow roots in 20 days, and in half a year you can grow dozens of pots of plump, chubby succulents

If you keep succulents at home, don't waste any leaves that accidentally fall off - be sure to propagate them as cuttings, and you can grow many more adorable succulents. The process is very simple and fun. There are also some succulents whose leaves will grow roots wherever they fall,How do you do succulent leaf cuttings, and how can you make them grow roots and sprout faster?

1. At the right time and temperature, leaf cuttings sprout and root faster. The best seasons for leaf cuttings are spring and autumn, at around 20°C. If the temperature is too high, the young plants from cuttings will struggle to get through the summer.

2. For succulent leaf cuttings, choose healthy succulent leaves with no wounds. Before propagating by leaf cuttings, let them dry for 24 hours, so they sprout and root more quickly and smoothly.

3. Generally, succulent types with thicker, plumper leaves are easier to propagate as cuttings. The leaves do not need to be inserted into the soil medium; as long as the air humidity is high, they will root smoothly.

4. For the succulent cutting medium, river sand, vermiculite, or various fine cinders or seedling blocks can all be used to propagate succulents. Overall, it needs to retain water and be airy, with small particles and few bacteria. Before leaf cuttings, you can spray a little carbendazim to disinfect.

5. After succulent leaf cuttings, in places with lower temperatures, you can cover them with a plastic bag; in the south, where temperatures are high, this is not needed. This helps maintain higher air humidity.

6. Keep the soil slightly moist, do not expose it to the sun; just a little scattered light is enough.

7. Succulents grown from leaf cuttings or stem cuttings must be placed in a well-ventilated spot, otherwise the leaves rot very easily.

Actually, succulent leaf cuttings or stem cuttings are both very simple. Don't take it too seriously - instead they will grow more lushly, plump and chubby.

One pot of succulents can propagate twenty succulents in half a year.
