You increase DoF by stopping down to a narrower aperture (bigger number) - eg. from f/5.6 to f/8. However, your range of control may be limited by your camera.
Was the shot handheld or did you use a tripod or other stable platform to shoot from? Also was the leaf away from any breeze? At 1/25s handshake and subject motion could both be factors that pull away from sharpness.
