    Do you water them like a normal succulent?

    • @passionforplants3242
      @passionforplants3242  Před 2 lety +97

      Once the soil dries out almost completely, I mist over the soil till it’s fairly damp. Hope this helps!

    • @slc1161
      @slc1161 Před 2 lety +40

      NO! These are like desert plants. They grow much better with minimal water, well drained pot. I water once per month, let the pot drain well. I use cactus mix. Feed with a fertilizer made for succulents. These plants will grow to seek water. I do occasionally mist them but that isn’t necessary. Put in bright indirect light. I have so many right now that I’ll be selling some in a garage sale. Lol.

      @sakuraharuki14 Před 2 lety +11

      You always want to keep the soil damp! Depending on the humidity/ heat where they are growing you will most likely end up *misting* the soil every 2-3 days. also remember to use a well draining pot!

      @@passionforplants3242 Do you mist the plant too ? I usually bottom water all my plants but this wouldn't work since there aren't roots. I bought a little squirt bottle I was just going to wet the soil around it that way.

    • @lainedelfelder4283
      @lainedelfelder4283 Před 3 lety +32

      It’s actually way better to leave it on until it dries up and falls off on its own. The baby will grow much faster, since the original leaf is a better source of nutrients than the soil.

  • @dfinite4089
    @dfinite4089 Před 3 lety +183

    I have been taught that it is important to leave the orig leaf on, because the baby plant gets it’s nutrients from the original leaf. In time, that original leaf will wither, and will detach itself, when the baby doesn’t need it anymore, and is mature enough to get it’s nutrients from its own roots that by then, have grown into the soil.

    • @alexhagedorn1365
      @alexhagedorn1365 Před rokem +12

      at the very least it will grow much faster with the leaf connected... once it has its own new small leafs and roots and can grow on its own, but will be much slower without the mother leaf feeding it...

    • @oldkingcrow777
      @oldkingcrow777 Před rokem +5

      If it has roots it can get moisture/nutrition from the soil, but like anything if you don't NEED to remove it, don't.
      People cut off leaves from plants when trying to get a desired effect, or some less-informed folks will advocate trimming leaves because they're "unnecessary" and don't like how they look, but in reality any healthy leaf is generating energy for the plant.

      You should also not take cuttings from a plant that's flowering, or touch the top of the echeveria leaf because it'll wipe off all of the farina

  • @NEnigma777
    @NEnigma777 Před 6 měsíci +20

    I’m so glad you mentioned that you can just drop them in soil without letting them callous first. Succulents are meant to reproduce, so they drop leaves to survive and re-propagate themselves! I’ve never had to let them callous! Also, I never leave them on their side like you shows I literally just take a leaf and put in in the dirt and it becomes a whole new plant! I have copious succulents by doing this method. It’s very hard to mess up a succulent propagation!
    Out here in California, all we do is just drop succulent leaves in areas where we want them to grow and they grow! We never worry about the soil or fussing over the water or light. They are resilient plants and humans make it too complicated! I’ve tested this out by planting the succulent leaves in various kinds of dirt/terrain and then I come back to check on them a month or so later, and they were alive and growing! No need to be so fussy! Just let them do their thing!

  • @howtowithelizabeth7513
    @howtowithelizabeth7513 Před rokem +6

    People may claim this is fake NOPE just be careful taking the leaves off and it works 🙂
    I have a ton going myself at the moment
    Also if they get “leggy” or stretched out cut them down pull the leaves and continuing watering the stem it will grow new leaf bunches and become bushy
    For the tops pull the leaves off so there’s about half an inch to an inch of stem, let it callus then plant it and the top part will also root (if given the right conditions) 😁
    I also tried this with my leggy propagations and it’s surprisingly working not only is the residual stem (which I left a few leaf nodes on) is growing new leaves the tops rooted along with the leaves rooting and growing into baby plants 🙂
    I’d post pictures if I could

    Instead of wiggling the leaves into the soil until the node touches, you can choose a smaller tray and prop the leaves up onto the rim. Works well, too, and you don't accidentally squish the leaves.

I had a whole lot of petals as well just sitting on the soil and didn’t see much luck so o just chuckled them into pots and hoping! I’ve got some also potted but they need repotting I think 🤔 it’s trial and error. I like your way of propagating so will try your way. Thanks for sharing 😊👍
