How & When To Water Succulent Leaves For Propagation

[@ForeverASucculentAddict]

I agree with you! My experience has been like yours. Putting the leaves aside allowing them to grow pups first and then planting once the pups grow roots. This has worked the best for me. Thanks for another great informative video! I wish I had known this information from the beginning. It was a struggle at first not knowing what I was doing. Growing succulents with Liz here on KZbin helped me so much with this. I love your videos they are so helpful. ❤

That's great 🙌 So glad this has worked for you as well 🙂 I tried pretty much all of the techniques and this one seems to work for almost all succulents. The only exception i found was chain of hearts- their leaves need to be inserted into the potting mix otherwise the root doesn't form.. :)

What a timely informative video. I have several small trays of leaf babies that I need to pot up and this video provides a great deal of guidance. Thank you.

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Yay, so glad i could help ☺ Best of luck with the leafbabies- hope they'll all come up and grow well💚

Thank you for this video!! I always did the spray method and more died than survived. It will be fall for me soon, so I guess I need to wait until the spring to start this method. I hope I have more success

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Oh, i've been there as well, killing maaany leaves- i tried it all 😅 Yeah, definitely best to wait till spring comes around. You'll have to let me know how you go next year! 😀🤞💚

[@nicolewoods8197]

@SucculentGrowingTips Yes, I will. Until then, I will keep watching to learn from your great video shares. Thanks!

Thank you for making this video despite your busy schedules.🙏⌚ Kat, I would like to ask you since the topic is leaf propagation is whether these propogated leaves get impacted in any way by changing its locations, tray or even the leaves itself. I hope you have a great time and happy gardening. ☺️🌺

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

It depends.. If the conditions change drastically- moving leaves from full shade to full sun or vice versa, it can impact them (same temperature-wise). It also depends on the type of succulent- the hardy ones will usually tolerate being moved around but the 'tricky' succulents may not like it if the conditions change too much. I may do a video on this soon.. :)

Managed to survive summer just fine with your advice, now it's time for 6 months of potential snow... Thank you for everything. This is quite literally where I'm at currently, learning how to propagate efficiently. Except I want to do it with hens and chicks. Be well.

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

So glad all went well, it sounded like your summer was pretty brutal. Hope autumn & winter are going to play nice- i've read most hen & chicks should be fine with the snow. I've seen Sempervivum planted everywhere when i went to Estonia & Lithuania a couple of years back- the botanical gardens told me it's one of the few succulents that survives under the thick blanket of snow. Let us know how you go though- it will be interesting to hear how they cope. Best of luck!🙂

[@CleoGravel]

Thanks for the info 😊I tried doing this, but they never did anything 😊2 months I left them to do their thing 😊ended up in the trash 😊

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Oh noooo :( Some can be a bit difficult to get going. Which types did you try?

[@CleoGravel]

@@SucculentGrowingTips succulents lol no idea what type some are, mostly different types of Jade plants I believe lol

[@senoritadennis1206]

Interesting video. I'm a lover of succulents and cactus and I started a collection of both.I lost a few of them because I have them outdoor, anyways I think my potting soil isn't correct. I would like you to help me with a potting medium. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Hi, the best potting medium is premium succulent potting mix. It should have the right pH & nutrients for succulents. Hope this helps 🙂💚
