How to Propagate Succulents 

JustThangToo I watched a video where the person put his leaves under a cake carrier cover he got at the dollar store. He said it expedited his results. Have you ever tried this? I can’t find his video but would like to try his method.

annfil balista pp,p

Right? The other videos are just pushing the subscribe like blah blah and don't go into detail!

Yes I agree with you , he does explain and show you all you need to know !

I want to know how often to water them. They have been rotting

@@gailfriend8164 from the experience that I've had when propping, depending on humidity levels of course, for ex I live in the US in Arizona and our weather is beyond dry. We have less than 15% humidity most of the year so it's challenging to keep props with enough moisture rather than having too much. The way you can tell is, since u have had some rot, u know it's too much moisture. So usually when they are little still, a couple spritzes in the morning every day is enough and as they get bigger you may need to do deeper watering. But to start, spritz then, don't water. That's true for most of the US besides Arizona or Nevada really. The goal is not to keep them wet but rather with the minimum amount of moisture without letting the new roots get too dry and dry off. Feel the soil and if there's dampness on ur finger tips, don't water. And don't water before you see a few roots! That's the biggest thing. Cuz then they will just rot on the soil without being able to root. I don't have as much experience as this amazing guy does but I hope it helps!! Good luck!

Yes!!! I've found so many that only say, lay on the soil, and done. No explanation about roots or babies, or what's a good one and what are the bad ones

😂🤣😂

Proud mum 😂

Robinson Bright Similar situation for me! 🙋🏽‍♀️ I was shocked and so happy!

Same 😂 noticed the first one today lol

Aww good for you

I laughed too! I was dead!! 😂🤣😂😁

"Having the baby first is much better than having the roots"

"You just snap them off, like that [whack], or like that [whack], or like that [whack], or like that [whack]."

Yes lol

Yes mine also many roots but no pups don't know why

@Jamey Craig the main thing that kills succulants is too much water. Peopel who kill succs tend to water them like normal plants and that kills them. Just give them a little drink about once a month or 3 wks. They also put them in soil that's too heavy, Get soft cactus soil. The more you ignore succs the better they grow, And they ike a window sunlight. . They are easy to grow if you don't treat them like you would a geranium and drown it. Keep that in mind. :-) And they are also very easy to propagare. Whack off a leaf like he did and lay it ont he soil and aguain."ignore it" for wks. When you come back it'll have roots and maybe even a baby. Been there done that.

How are they. :D

@@Bosshub they died :( Jk lol

I know your comment was 2 yrs ago but I'm not good at keeping plants alive and I'm trying my hand at succulents. If you have any advice I'd love to hear it. I bought some from Lowe's and they're mushed in tight so fingers crossed I don't kill them while separating them 🙃

@@vikkilooper4075 I would say over watering is more dangerous than underwatering.

Thank you =)

SO one question, I cut a stem from one of my plants and it already has a few small roots, do I need to let it callus? or should I lay it on the mud now?

How long did it take for yours to start growing babies and did you use window light or a grow light?

Me too. That's what had me googling today, looking for advice. 'WildesThang' certainly delivered.

Thank you =)

LOVEEEE!

+Monica aballay thank you, I'm learning as I go

I mist mine everytime the soil looks dry

@@ThangPlants Awsome thank you!

Yeah it's wild that it's still going. I should make a 2023 update lol...

Glad I could help!

@Gemma Saint Hey, you can look through succulentsandsunshine.com, they are likely to have the name of your plant, if not, try mountaincrest, though it is a succulent shop site, everything is well labeled/categorized and I've found many of my unnamed plants through there.

@@ThangPlants We still need to know about watering. What is, "Water as normal"?

hope it worked out!

omg 10:20 too

Makeup Mobster that’s what I did! Lol

Makeup Mobster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was at HomeDepot and picked up several that I had dropped onto the floor. Even asked if they minded that I take them and they said go ahead. I have many babies!!

As someone who works for Home Depot, I do this lmao

Omg I thought I was the only one! 😅

Thanks!

That's sad

Thanks =)

Just take the lil pups , it's the only way.

Yes

Just put them in soil and don't water them untill they callus over

Wondering the same, thanks for the video!

Inquiring minds want to know! Nothing about watering except the comment, "Water as normal." So, what's normal?

Been searching for the answer to this haha

@@cmarlow41 normal means very little wayer. . Like just enough to dampen the top of the soil. And only about once/ month. Just spritz a bit when you transplant the baby but try not to give the baby a bath. lol Then ignore it for a month or so . Overwatering is what kills succs. I started growing them a couple yrs. ago. They sit in my kitchen window that has bright morning sunlight. I don't give them much attention and when I finally remember to check on them... they're doing fine. Babires are growing and leaves are all heathy. And soft cactus soil is better for them instead of heavy house plant soil.

I think they require daily misting at first, then tapper off as they get larger

in the summer during the hot heat, every day before afternoon hits, make sure the soil is moist. During the colder periods if you have it inside 2-3 days. Don't just mist it, make sure the soil itself is watered. The babies require a lot more water then the adult plants

EveryThang thank you!

This video is awesome!! Can the baby pups from the beheaded stem be removed to create more succulents??

@@ATLTRAN I believe so, just let the cutting area callous over by leaving it out for a few days (no soil or water, in a shaded area), then you can put in soil and water, it should form roots

Oh boy i feel like a new parent

Following

@@carlablaservasquez4349 hahaha. Totally forgot this post. Since a year ago, I found my an answer on my own. You just must the leaves. Don’t subscribe to this guy.

Pretty sure for all succulents during Spring/summer water when soil dries out, during colder seasons, water less frequently than in warmer months

I saw in a another video where they just mist the end of the leaf that was previously attached. That guy said he mists every few days. 🤷🏽‍♀️

+yanyuan SHI don't worry he knows what's going on

yanyuan SHI so funny

yanyuan SHI cats are masters

I think we ALL are still learning otherwise WE would be the ones with a RU-vid channel 😂

Welcome!!

Thank you, that's how I like things
