Before inserting leaves, you need to dig out the jade dew from the potting soil, and be careful not to damage its root system. Use a sterilized knife to cut off the connection between the leaves and the rhizome. Cut off as much rhizome tissue as possible. The leaves used for leaf cuttings must be intact and in good growth condition.

2. Drying the leaves

After the leaves are cut, they need to be placed in a cooler, ventilated place and the cut parts should be allowed to dry before leaf insertion can be carried out. If possible, apply an appropriate amount of carbendazim to it. Observe the leaves in time during the drying period, which takes about two or three days.

3. Prepare the substrate

Requirements Prepare the substrate for leaf cuttings in advance. The soil used must have good air permeability and be kept clean enough. Some gardeners will use old soil. Such soil will contain bacteria and insect eggs, which is not conducive to the rooting of leaves, so it needs to be disinfected before use.
