It's Propagation Week here on 'Plant One On Me', so Sandy from Terrascapes and I will be demonstrating how to propagate a succulent like Portulaca-a common plant that you can often find on the market.
In midst of filming this episode though, the rain REALLY started to pour, which gives you a better indication of the hot, humid and WET weather that Singapore faces-not always a great combination for certain succulents like Portulaca. Oh, and enjoy the coco chips in my hair, compliments of my not-so-helpful helper! ;)
Stay tuned for more Propagation episodes coming up here!

@giventogrow8533 5 лет назад

Southern Ontario, Canada :) I propagate my succulents all year round. I do find the rainy spring to be the hardest time to propagate succulents outside because its so wet. However with grow lights and lots of sunny south windows inside its never a problem. :) I find succulent leaves on my floor sometimes that have propagated themselves behind my grow shelves lol. Succulents are made to spread to love!

I got my first portulaca purslane a month ago. Already propagated 5 new plants that are growing so quickly, I ordered 7 new colors. I LOVE the way this plant grows, and IMMEDIATELY saw more butterflies as soon as I hung it in the yard. Growing up on a farm, we cursed this plant for years, as it was almost impossible to get rid of. I laugh that I'm now growing it on purpose.

@ruthiep9923 5 лет назад

i actually found succulents and propagating them challenging at first. After a year or so of rotting and falling off (not me, the plants) I have finally realized that I was over watering. They are not tropicals! It took me awhile to get that through my head. The best succulents I have found at my farmers' market from someone who grows them in my area (norCal). And I have a prize mystery cactus propagated from a cast aside "spear" that I found on the floor of CostCo that I brought home and planted in a cactus mix. Great video. Thanks.

@jillened4595 5 лет назад

Loved this video inside the cozy greenhouse with the bird and a walk-on by a cat while it rained loudly outside. Also, I had never considered how different the sun pattern would be close to the equator. I suppose there are advantages to not having the sun shining directly into the windows but I would not like the darkness Sandy mentioned. I so want to take your Master Class it just sounds better and better.

I’ve currently got my tropical plants rooting just above my fishtank, I know it’s unnecessary to root plants in water first but they just look so pretty growing out of my tank so far I’ve get a fiddle leaf fig, pothos, arrowhead, and wandering Jew, they all root in water very easily

@sandysoh1742 5 лет назад

Rooting your plants in the fishtank is a great idea! The rooting plants will help to remove some nitrates in the water so they kind of act like a biological filter.

I only started propagate a little over a year ago. My first was Hoya that I learned from RU-vid, I immediatly become a Hoya addict. Although I still have not got my Hoyas to flower. I didn't know it was best for the Hoyas to be in direct sun in Greenland. I learn it from one I bought from here in Nuuk, that she made them constantly flower. It was in November and it get so dark. Also we have not have many sunny days after I learned this. Oh well. The spring can be between April and May up here in the North, only a couple of month with summer like Alaska.

@kas5990 5 лет назад

Wow, this rain was really heavy;) This portulaca is very similar to serum rubrotinctum, though I think sedum's leaves are more bulb-like. For serum it is possible to just take one bulb-like leaf, stick it in soil and a new baby plant will grow from there:) like for many other succulents.

@paulag.panzermd8239 5 лет назад

I’m very excited about the propagation series. This is informative and helpful. It would really help to have a closer view of pulling the babies off, as I understand that it’s important to not end up with a broken leaf. I am just north of New York City and grow succulents, cacti, & other house plants indoors and some small space outside gardening. I do leaf propagation of succulents and I’m not successful, especially compared to my relative success with other parts of plant care and growth. Really looking to learn more. Thank you

@sandysoh1742 5 лет назад

For succulent leaf propagation, you can leaves alone till roots start forming. I reckon that you might have to mist occasionally to encourage the roots to grow out. Here in tropical Singapore, the roots grow out fairly quickly because of the high humidity.

@Nhoj31neirbo47 5 лет назад

Here in coastal, frost free Southern California most succulents can be propagated by taking cuttings, letting the cut end harden and dry for a few days and then simply sticking them in the ground where you want them to grow. Winter is the best time of year to do this here, because the sun is weaker and doesn’t burn the rootless cuttings, and you can take advantage of our seasonal winter rains which may keep the planting soil moist. I planted a lot of succulent and Agave cuttings this winter and they are starting to grow away now.

@daveh1294 5 лет назад

Interesting that you promote the use of peat in potting mixes. In the UK there is a big push to move to peat-free composts now for sustainability reasons. Older growers are really resisting it as peat makes such good compost but it's getting harder to get hold of peat compost now. Is that happening in other parts of the world too or is it just us again?

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

Dave: thanks for bringing this up. Peat in Europe has been nearly exhausted. Right now, most imports for you are coming from Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, maybe Finland and Sweden, and probably Russia too. I don't know how regulated it is in that part of the world. In the US, we get it primarily from Canada. It's regulated, but I will tell you that peat is the pre-cursor to coal and takes at least 2,000 years to develop, so it's a precious, precious resource. It'd like to see it used a lot less liberally in the market, and if using it, to also 'water it down' with other items. I personally like a more well-draining mix to soil anyway. However, from a neutral standpoint and talking to growers, I know how vital it is to some members of the hort industry. Peat is harder to come by in Asia. What's interesting, however, is that many Asian growers don't rely on it at all: they use coco coir, but oftentimes have to wash it down with water (B/c it can be salty). Otherwise, that seems to be the best substitute for peat. I'd be curious as to what more growers are using in your neck of the wood (if not peat). Again, thanks for bringing this up. This is an extensive discussion point in the Houseplant Masterclass too! www.houseplantmasterclass.com

@daveh1294 5 лет назад

@@summerrayneoakes Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Good compost is hard to come by in the UK now (at least cheaply) and is a source of frustration for a lot of growers here. A lot of compost on sale here is made of recycled green waste which is very variable in quality and not ideal for some plants. Sterilised loam mixed with coir and grit seems to be the recommended mix for succulents and cacti at the moment. I'm loving your channel by the way, the quality is way above the competition and geting better all the time. I've already learned so much helpful stuff from you.

Hi Fiona, those are huperzia/ lycopodium, aka tassle ferns. The fertile fronds(sporophyll) sometimes produce leaves and if you look carefully you might see some roots coming out.
