How to quickly germinate succulent leaf cuttings

1. Soak with rooting powder

Soak the prepared leaves in water containing rooting powder, which can be bought on the market. Take out the soaked leaves and dry them, and then plant them after they are completely dry.

2. Leave to dry

Place the leaves directly on a ventilated, dark windowsill to dry so that they are healthy enough to sprout. On the contrary, if you are too squeamish and afraid of death and stick it into the soil, some wounds may not be completely dry and may be infected with bacteria, leading to death.

3. Flat lay and diagonal insertion

Leaf cuttings are inserted flat and diagonally rather than directly into the soil. Because most people do not disinfect the soil when doing leaf cuttings, directly piercing the soil will easily cause bacterial infection, causing the leaves to rot and become unable to survive. It is best to just spread them flat on the surface and place them in a dark and ventilated place for maintenance.

4. No need to water

Succulents prefer a slightly drier environment. There is no need to water before the leaf cuttings take root in the early stage. You can spray around the leaves to keep the surrounding air moist. Water promptly and appropriately after rooting.
