Tangyin leaf cutting tutorial

1. Cutting time

The recommended time for Tangyin cuttings is spring or autumn. The temperature in these two seasons is very mild, without extreme weather, which is suitable for cuttings and has a higher survival rate.

2. Cut the leaves

First, prepare a pair of sterilized sharp scissors, choose a healthy and well-growing Tangyin, cut off the vigorous leaves from the plant, cut them from the base, place them in a well-ventilated place to dry, and apply wood ash on the cut to prevent the juice from flowing out, which can also serve as a disinfectant. After drying for a period of time, the cut will heal and can be used for cuttings.

3. Soil Preparation

While drying the leaves, you can prepare the soil, which should be loose, breathable, and have normal drainage. It can be mixed with leaf mold, fine sand, vermiculite, etc. and disinfected before use. Be careful not to use clay, otherwise the cuttings will be difficult to survive.

4. Leaf cuttings

After preparation, spray the soil with water to keep it slightly moist, then insert the leaves into it, not too deep.

5. Post-maintenance

After the cuttings are completed, place them in a cool and ventilated place, avoid exposure to strong light, and pay attention to normal air circulation. Spray water every 3 to 5 days and it will take root in about half a month.
