Detailed explanation-1: -Leaf cuttings are prepared by taking a single leaf from the plant. This leaf must generate not only new roots, but new shoots as well. The leaf used for propagation usually does not become part of the new plant, but disintegrates after the new plant is formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Leaf section cuttings produce new plants utilizing a segment of the leaf blade. New roots and leaves form at the base of the cutting buried in the media, eventually creating a small plantlet. Leaf section cuttings work well for species such as snake plant (Sansevieria).
Detailed explanation-3: -Also known as leaf propagation, leaf cutting is a process used to root and grow new plants.
