1. Planting methods
There are many methods of planting succulents. The more commonly used method is leaf cutting. In addition, there are other planting methods such as branch cutting, division and sowing.
2. Leaf cutting method
Some succulent varieties that grow well and have thick, healthy leaves are suitable for planting using this method. The specific operation method is as follows:
1. Select leaves: Pick some relatively thick leaves from healthy plants as materials for leaf inserts, and put them in a ventilated and cool place to dry.
2. Prepare pot soil: When inserting leaves, be sure to use soil with good air permeability and not easy to accumulate water as the cutting soil. This will help the cutting leaves take root. After preparing the pot soil, you need to expose it to the sun for disinfection, and then put it into the pot for later use.
3. Carry out leaf inserting: Gently place the dried leaves on the surface of the flower soil, or gently insert them into the flower soil. Then put them in a warm environment and spray water from time to time to maintain humidity. It won't be long before they take root.
3. Other methods
Some Succulent varieties with strong branches can be propagated by cuttings. Insert healthy branches into the soil and wait for them to take root. Some varieties that can produce daughter plants can be propagated by dividing the plants. Just cut off their daughter plants along with their root systems and plant them in other flower pots for cultivation. Some varieties that produce seeds can be propagated by sowing seeds. First germinate the seeds, then plant them into the soil, keep them warm, and they will germinate soon.
