#53 Succulent leaf propagation step by step and watering tips at different stages of growth!

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

Hi everyone! Here's a helpful video I put together for succulent leaf propagation step by step to help you with your leaf propagations. Have a wonderful day plant buddies! 💚

[@cindygischel2826]

I don't get good lighting. Can i grow under grow lights?

[@bunaynayslay]

Detailed, thorough and straightforward. Great advice

[@jenniferquinn7256]

I use a pipette to water my leaf babies it gives you good control over where the water goes ie not on the babies or leaves. Hi Chanel 😊love your channel

[@solarwinds-]

I have a leaf propagation (a Sedum adolfii) where the mother leaf never dried up. The baby is no longer a baby anymore. The "baby" has grown to about 3 inches tall now and the mother leaf is still full and healthy at the base of the plant.

[@succulents6137]

I water my leaf babies as soon as the baby is about the size of a grain of rice . Keeping the soil damp makes them grow so much faster and the mother leaf stays in tact for many months

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

Agree! There are different methods that work as well. 😊

[@detox7761]

Very helpful propagation video and definitely worth the watch. So detailed!

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

Aww... thank you so much and I'm glad you found it helpful! 😊

[@daliciamatos8114]

Ugh, people say so many different things about watering them. Yours makes so much more sense and when I started watering them once they start rooting they have been getting ruined. Thank you for your videos. I just discovered you. Oh do you live in zone 9 areas? I am in Florida. I am trying to follow people that live in the same kind of weather as I live in.

[@detox7761]

I love the purple succulents and thank you for always providing ID's. Very helpful!

Hello Christine! Glad you found my channel so here I am watching your video on growing succulents from leaves. I have those Graptopetalums as well and I use the exact same methods to propagate as you do with leaves and stems. But I still enjoyed seeing your pots of succulents. Big like 👍 and my support is already given.

Super filmik. Pozdrawiam.

Thank you. 😊

[@dawnheard1263]

I drip them all and never spray mama leaf,I find they rot too fast I spray mama leaves. I simply drip to wet the roots, mama lasts much longer like this 😊. I am attempting Super Bum props right now. I find they take Roughly 4 weeks to get roots. under lights.

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

Yes, that method works really good as well! 😊

[@KeBuNTiNNairAINDONESIA]

Good tips. Thanks

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching. 😊

[@Jha_Nix]

Hello. Just found your channel. This is very timely because i just purchased grapto purple delight. And as i can see they're easy to grow through leaves. So, i'm gonna try that method. I usually do beheading. Your new subscriber, JhaNix

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

Hi! I'm glad you stumbled upon my channel! Yes, I propagate purple delight a lot by beheading too especially because they do tend to grow long stems overtime. But they also grow a good amount of leaves that propagate so easily, so the more the merrier! Thank you for watching and good luck with your leaf props! 😊💜

[@sodamomtv4231]

Is it the dolphin succulent you bought last time? 🤔🤔 grew up a lot. Frizzle Sizzle looks so cute.😍😍 All the cut succulents are growing well. You are also a succulents mom. In Korea, we call us succulents moms(다육맘).😄😄Watch the video well. Have a good day ~♥😍😍🙏🙏👍🌺

[@EternaLivesMatter]

I love your videos and I appreciate them very much I was wondering do you make your own soil mix and if so what do you use and if you don't mind sharing the ratios I would greatly appreciate it if you buy it what brand do you use and where can I find it

[@grahamwhitman5515]

Hi madame. I have an echeveria rainbow and a compton carousel. What would be the best way to propagate them please. I would love to multiply them😄😄

[@gepliprl8558]

such a question after watching this video?

[@detox7761]

How long do your leaves take to grow new babies?

[@nabila5310]

Hi, very great vid..i wanna ask about if we put leaf prop in the mothers plant pot, how u watering the plant?im worry the leafs prop will overwatering?

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

You just leave them on top of the soil with the mother plant. Water the mother plant as you normally would and the leaf props will be just fine with that. The soil in pots with a mature succulent planted in it usually dry out quickly and doesn't need water often. That's why leaf propagations do well in those conditions. 😊

Thank you!

[@heathernev6619]

How do you when they are ready to be removed and replanted from your trays? Is it just when they are a certain size?

[@berriosenid]

What do you do for winter? Do you bring them in or they stay outside?

[@princessklarissatey4]

Hi Chanel 💗

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

Hello 👋😁💚

[@KL-sf6jx]

My leaves are curl, do I let the callused end touch the soil or just let it stay up? Let the leaf face down so the end touches the soil or face up so the leaf touches the soil ,.not the end. Which way is the right way to propergate. Thanks!

[@foliagecove355]

how do you know when is the best time to cut off the whole rosset and leave the stem to grow babies and whats the best way to do so cuz my purple delight is honestly quite big and im not sure if its ready for a total headchop i do need some help and advice pls ,especially it is tricky for me since I live in a country that has constant rain

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

I deal with constant rain too. So I always bring my succulents that get their heads chopped off along with the leftover stump in the pot indoors. I let them root indoors under grow lights or by a bright window. As you saw in the video, I also seal the open wounds with glue to prevent moisture from getting in. Once the cuttings are rooted and full of water again, I place them back outdoors and slowly acclimate to sunlight again. You can head chop anytime especially because your purple delights are big already. Just be sure to water them 3-4 days before cutting so they have more water reserved in their leaves to use up while rooting. 😊

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

Hi Kimberly! 🤗

[@fortunazee]

Does this work for string of pearl too?

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

No, string of pearls propagate by taking cuttings of the plant. They don't grow from a single pearl. Although some say it's possible, it's highly unlikely.

[@fortunazee]

@@TheseSucculentBuddies So did you propagate the the string of hearts by cutting up their leaves?

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

No, the string of hearts also only propagate from cuttings. Although they can grow with just the stem and a pair of leaves on it. It does take a while and the chances of it drying up are higher. Better to prop SOH with a longer string cutting for successful propagation.

[@ramonadinwiddie2895]

where did you get your trays?

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

It's just old takeout containers. 😊

[@colour4life16]

Hello which indoor lights are used for succulent propogation

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

You can pretty much use any kind of growlight. Just don't have the props too close to the lights.
