How to propagate succulents! Succulent series #2

Hi guys! Today I am going to show you how you can multiply the number of succulent plants you have for free! This is also a good option if your succulents are looking old and a bit worse for wear. Let’s get started!

First you need to find out what type of a succulent you have. Some succulents have seeds, and some don’t and instead reproduce through fallen leaves! There are even succulents that don’t produce seeds till you take off their leaf! So here is how you can find out witch type of succulent you have.

Look at your plant. If it has little seeds forming on the tips of its leaves, it is a seed propagating plant.

If it does not and it just has leaves and a stem, it is most likely a leaf propagating plant. You can also check the base of the plant and see if there are any roots where a leaf might have fallen off.

Now you actually need to propagate your plant. For a seed reproducing succulent, all you have to do is when you see little roots on the seed, take it off the mother plant and just place it on the surface of the soil. It will do the rest.

For a leaf propagating succulent, it is a bit more complicated. First you need to take off a fully grown leaf. To do this, gently secure the stem of the succulent with one hand, while the other hand just gently grabs the leaf, and takes it off. It should come off relatively easily.

Then, let it sit and callous over for a few days. This way the edge of the leaf is sealed. After a few days, all you have to do is get a pot of soil and place the leaf on top of it. You can also do this when there are some roots and/or a mini plant on the edge of the leaf.

That’s it for today’s post! I hope you enjoyed it! Please check out our other posts! Bye!
