The leaf cutting method for the Black Prince

The Black Prince generally has two propagation methods: one is beheading to encourage new shoots, and the other is leaf cutting propagation. Today we focus on the leaf cutting propagation method for the Black Prince. Black Prince leaf cuttings sprout very easily, but there are a few points to note:

1. Selecting leaves

First, we need to select intact, undamaged leaves. If they are damaged, they will not sprout.

2. Wiping with water

Next, take out the intact leaves, wipe the wounds with a cotton swab dipped in clean water, and let them air-dry. After air-drying, place them on the surface of semi-moist soil. Place in a cool, ventilated area.

3. Care

Then, note that during the sprouting period of the Black Prince leaves, they must not be exposed to sunlight or watered. Generally, small fine roots will grow after 5-7 days. If they do not grow, wait patiently, because some leaves may sprout buds first and then roots. But remember, you must wait until the leaves grow roots before providing care.

4. Moisture retention

Finally, gently cover the roots of the leaves that have grown fine roots with soil, then sprinkle a little water on the soil surface every day to keep it moist. After sprouting, they can be taken outside to receive some light, but not direct sunlight. After that, with normal care, they will grow very quickly.
