From purchase to planting: Everything you need to know about cannabis cuttings from LeafConnect

At LeafConnect, we place great importance on ensuring that your cannabis cuttings arrive healthy, ready to grow, and in compliance with German legal regulations. Here is a comprehensive guide to what happens before, during, and after shipping, and what initial steps you should take for successful growth.
Before shipping: How we prepare your cuttings
Measures for disease prevention
White spots on the cuttings? Don’t worry – that’s not mold. We use a fine layer of sulfur spray to prevent powdery mildew. This organic treatment breaks down completely after about five days, leaving healthy plants.
Cut leaves
Pruning the leaves is a standard preparatory step. This reduces the plants’ water requirements, as they do not yet have roots, and facilitates the rooting phase for optimal growth.
Hop latency virus (HpLVd) test
Each batch is carefully tested to ensure that the cuttings are free of HpLVd. Additionally, tools such as scissors and gloves are consistently disinfected to guarantee the highest quality standards.
Shipping process: From Austria to your doorstep
Partnership with TB Farming GmbH

Specialized packaging
The cuttings are shipped in specially designed containers via courier to protect them during transport.
Shipping times
To avoid delays and guarantee freshness:

What to do when your cuttings arrive
Immediate attention
- Ideally, plant the cuttings immediately.
- If this is not possible, the cuttings can be stored in the packaging for up to 24 hours in a cool, well-lit place with sufficient humidity.
Gentle handling
- Wash and disinfect your hands before handling.
- To avoid stress, carefully lift the cuttings from below instead of just pulling on the stem.
