Before inserting leaves, you must first select the leaves. Use full and good-growing leaves. Just do not damage the growth point when breaking them off. Prepare a clean medium, dry the leaves and place them on top of the medium, or lean them against the wall of the pot and do not insert them into the soil. After the leaves are inserted, they should not be exposed to direct sunlight and should be placed under diffused light.

1. Leaves: When cutting succulent plants, use leaves that are fuller and in good growth condition. Select a few relatively mature leaves, hold them with your hands and gently shake them from side to side to break them off, but do not damage their growth points.

2. Medium: Prepare a highly breathable medium in advance , such a medium will help the leaves grow. After preparing the soil, place it in the sun for disinfection. After exposure to the sun, the germs inside will be killed.

3. Leaf cuttings: It is best to dry them before cutting. After a while, place the leaves flatly upward on the medium, or lean against the pot wall. Be sure not to insert them into the soil, as this will cause them to rot easily.

2. Precautions

1. Some varieties of multi-headed leaves are very thin, or the leaves are very small, and the survival rate of leaf cuttings will be very low. Therefore, generally when inserting leaves, succulents of the genus Echinacea and Pachyphylla are often used.

2. After cutting, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight. You can place it under weak scattered light. Do not place it in the dark during the entire rooting period, which will easily reduce the survival rate.
