Succulent plants are deeply loved by a large number of plant enthusiasts for their unique shapes and easy - to - maintain characteristics. Leaf propagation is a commonly used method for the reproduction of succulent plants. It is not only simple and easy to operate but also has a relatively high success rate.
The best time for leaf propagation of succulents is in spring (from March to May) and autumn (from September to November). During these two seasons, the temperature is moderate, and the lighting and humidity conditions are relatively ideal. The leaves are easy to take root and germinate, with a fast growth rate and high survival rate. In contrast, the high temperature and humidity in summer are likely to cause the leaves to rot, and winter is the dormant period of succulents, resulting in a lower survival rate.
Now, let's introduce several types of succulents suitable for leaf propagation for your reference and selection.
