Leaf propagation and cuttings both rely on healthy plant material and patient aftercare. Let wounds dry, use a suitable medium, and avoid burying leaves too deeply.
Leaves can often sit on top of the medium while roots and new growth form. Cuttings usually need a callus before planting and should not be watered heavily before roots are ready.
Success varies by species, season, and plant condition. Treat propagation as a repeatable practice, not a guaranteed result from every leaf.
