If you want fleshy leaves to sprout quickly, you must select strong and thick leaves for cuttings in spring and autumn, and break off the leaves horizontally, do not shake left and right, and destroy the growing points. Then put the fleshy leaves in a cool and ventilated place to air, and after the wound of the fleshy leaves is dried, put the fleshy leaf face upwards and lay it flat on the surface of the moist soil. Astigmatism maintenance, observe the soil surface white, spray a little water, until the fleshy leaves take root and sprout.

1. Hydroponic culture time

In order to improve the speed of rooting, the temperature in the surrounding environment must be appropriate, preferably in spring, the temperature can be stabilized at about 20 degrees Celsius, which is beneficial to rooting and can improve the survival rate of rooting.

2. Container water quality

Before hydroponics, the container and water quality should be prepared first. The container does not need to be too large. It is recommended to choose a transparent bottle made of glass.Water quality requirements are not high, tap water can be directly connected out, after a few days of drying, the chlorine inside volatilized out, filled into the container, in which a few drops of rooting liquid are added.

3. Pruning

Choose a plant that grows well, has no pests and diseases, and grows well. Cut off the branches with high hardness from the top, and cut the bottom of the branches into an inclined plane, so as to increase the area of water absorption.Cutting off the leaves at the lower end of the branches can reduce the evaporation of water and avoid soaking in water to rot.

4. Water Culture Cuttage

The cuttings will be inserted into the water, do not need to be too deep, about 3-5 cm into the depth can be.Wrap something black around the outside to keep out the sun.

5. Later Management

After cuttage, change the water for about 1-2 days, drip the rooting liquid when changing the water, raise under the bright scattered light, keep good maintenance management, about 7-15 days can take root.After the root system grows a little longer to ensure stable growth, it can be transplanted into the potting soil.
