I’d say it’s worth the wait if you’re propagating on a large scale and with Haworthia that don’t offset as much or as often and with variegated, rarer types etc. With how prolific many Haworthia are with offsetting I think it’s better to wait for it to produce those. Haworthia limifolia can produce many offsets within a year. Very interesting to see though and I admire your dedication and patience with showing this process. 👍
It is worth the wait. Thank you for taking the time to make this video over a series of months. Most people don't make videos like this and I am grateful for your hard work and planning and organization. I just took four leaves this week and put them in dry soil *hoping* something might come of it. I am excited to see how they do over time and it's helpful to know how long I may have to wait before seeing any progress.
It's worth the wait! But the variegation in the pup's leaf is maintained, unlike the snake plant where variegation disappears in the pup after leaf propagation. That's really great.
Thank you for your observation. About the variegation, I will have to try a variegated version of this soon. I will upload here when it's done but it may take a while
I found this experiment oddly satisfying! I am potting my pups from my mother plants today. I was curious if leaf propagation is possible. Thank you sharing your experiment. I’m definitely doing it, it’s worth the wait. I’ll do it at a large scale so l can enjoy the leaf race hahah!. Wish me luck y’all 🙌🏾
yes it's a long wait but why not! Put them in the corner and let them grow! Thank you for a great video, very informative and detailed. Keep up the great work! You are teaching good knowledge for people to know! Gardening is one of the most important gifts to give. Bless you.
Perfect video for what I was looking for and nicely documented. Agree with another poster's recommendation to include your growing conditions and media composition in the future. Nice job and thank you!
Hello 👋🏼. I have many Haworthia’s and have been overgrown. And I have been scared of propagating them. I did not know how. I am happy i found your video! It was very informative and helpful. Especially when cutting each leave. Thank you 😊 for sharing! Stay Safe! Stay Well! I cannot wait to see how I do. 🌵🌱🙌🏼. 💚.
Someone gave me plants like this last year, but I've never tried to propagate any of them. I know how to now, thanks to this channel.👍🏽 They seem to take as long as snake plants to propagate.
This is great, that you took the time to do this and to show the LONG process of propagation! I think if you have a spare windowsill somewhere, why not? But I think my plant is actually Tulista Pumila. I carefully broke some pups out today, if I dry them well and then plant, will they root faster than this?
I have a 6 year old Haworthia that started as a $1.99 1-inch plant at a grocery store they get REALLY big and hearty how long do these topically live? and how do you know when they need water? ... I've been guessing all these years
nice video. I was just wondering that haworthia llimifolia eaves grows this way or not and I came across your video. will surely try. What's those yellow balls in your soil?
Great video! Thank you for having the patience to shoot updates over 9 months. Is it ok to put the mother plant back in its pot right away, or do you need to let the cut parts dry out before repotting it?
If you had laid the leaf flat in the soil, would you have had seen faster growth? Diminishing some of the time it took the roots to push new growth out?
Hahaha so that means I have to wait for another 9months before a pup will grow from my haworthia. It's growing roots now, but didn't know it will that that long for pups to grow.
I'm doing this with 3 leaves of an Aloe Aculeata that was etiolated/elongated. It's been 3 months and nothing happened yet. Neither came pups nor did the leaf rot. I am afraid to dig up and ruin the root growth process. Does it have chances of propagation of Aloe aculeata this way?
Hi Luiz Antonio, thank you for always supporting this channel and for watching our videos :) I haven't tried Aloe Aculeata yet. May it would be great if you could update us on your progress? It could still grow slowly, but if the leaves did not wilt then there's still a chance it will succeed
Hey I lost a Haworthia due to too much watering I am trying yo save her bt replanting her leafs..can I replant them all in one pot? Make sure its dry? I dont mind waiting the leaves are still beautiful its just the root lost it from center I am gonna just replant the leaves and leave them maybe someday they ll show some roots
Agave family is notorious in not producing babies from leaves....Once my agave leaf rests in soil for around 3 months and looks so much healthy but one more thing i myself believes that if the same experiment has done in some tropical area the time comsumption can be a bit less.....One more succulent is there called as echeveria imbricata or rose cabage..It used to produce a small baby or some roots on the tip of the leaf and then rots...
Hey nice video my zebra plant is getting dried after reporting though watering frequently top leaves I feel r dried and lower leafs r bit yellowish how should I perk up top leaves?
Not, please don't loose passion. This is a proof that is best propagated by shoots, let them produce babies naturally! It's faster when you have a mother plant than to use leaves on this variety alone. Other varieties can produce a lot faster
I am propagating ficus Elastica at the moment and it's so slow. Is it worth waiting for Haworthia? I don't know. I have few offshoots I am trying to get to root. I'll stick to that plan.
Hi Sheryl thanks for watching. It might speedup and save a few weeks but i havent tried it in haworthia. I might do an experiment on this... hope you enjoy our new videos too!
A prolonged wait ..propagation by leaves..instead switch to pups propagation...and that too will take a long to shape as nice piece.. I am waiting for my pups to grow from the last 10..12 months..but they are progressing...
I have seen other videos with aloe where they Cut of the leaf, and wait a few days so it forms a film over the Cut, and it still seems to work propagating it, why is this?
It's worth. I'm trying to propagate by placing them above the water bowl by placing them in plastic wrap, will it propagate anyone advice please. Thanks in advance
