All about succulent leaf propagation - as a succulent enthusiast, have you experienced it?

Leaf propagation is a very interesting asexual propagation method for Haworthia. You just take a single leaf, and after some time it will grow roots and shoots, reborn like a phoenix. I've written before about the propagation principles of beheading and leaf propagation, so I won't repeat them here. As for me, I'll casually pull a few leaves to propagate when I have nothing to do, and my success rate is basically above 90%. (Thanks to Sven for the material)

It's gotten hot these past couple of days, so let me take this opportunity to talk about common misconceptions or blind spots in leaf propagation.

1. Don't do leaf propagation in hot weather

When the weather is hot, the biological enzymes inside the plant stop working, and their activity drops greatly. The plant stays dormant for long periods to resist the high temperatures. At this time the plant has the lowest activity and is at its most fragile. Pulling leaves now makes the mother leaf extremely susceptible to bacterial invasion, which then turns to mush and causes leaf propagation to fail. So experienced growers generally choose to avoid leaf propagation in summer.

2. One root means at least one shoot

This is experience summed up after propagating a great many leaves. Haworthia is not like Sedum - as long as the mother leaf doesn't run into trouble, roots always mean shoots, and one root point can produce at least one shoot.

3. One leaf can produce several rounds of shoots

After a leaf produces shoots, once the shoots grow to a certain size and the mother leaf is still very healthy, you can remove the shoots and the original shoot point will continue to produce more shoots. If the mother leaf is well protected, it can keep producing for 2-3 years, 3 rounds a year, with 1-5 shoots per round.

4. Leave the roots for the mother leaf when removing shoots

When removing shoots, leave the roots with the mother leaf as much as possible. If the small shoot has more than one root, keeping just one is enough.

5. Even half a leaf can produce shoots

Just let the wound dry out without letting it lose too much moisture

Alright, I'm just throwing out a few ideas to get the ball rolling. Here are some leaf propagation photos below. I hope everyone can succeed at leaf propagation and find joy in it.
