After the leaf cutting, if a new small root system grows, it needs to be buried. If left alone, it will continue to consume the nutrients in the mother leaves, and it will easily dry up and die, so it must be dealt with as soon as possible after the roots grow. It should be noted that the soil required for burying roots should not be too dirty, but should be clean.

2. Root burying method

After the leaf is inserted, it will grow a lot of fine roots over a period of time. Before burying the roots, it is necessary to make the mother leaf and the substrate better contact, and to move the position appropriately. Then, bury the root system with clean fine soil. The soil should not be too dry and should have a certain amount of moisture, which will help it grow.
