How to Propagate Succulents Fast n Easy
Vložit

- Propagating succulents from leaves is a simple project that requires a few steps and a couple supplies. After cutting off a healthy leaf, the leaf will naturally sprout new roots, and a new plant will grow from these roots. Succulents make an excellent gift, are a great way to welcome somebody new to the neighborhood, and can be exchanged between friends and fellow gardeners. It is easy to propagate new succulents from leaves, but because not every leaf will take, you should try rooting at least 5-6 leaves at a time.
DAIZZ'S TIPS:-
Step by step: How to grow succulents from cuttings
Remove the lower leaves
Chop the remaining rosette from the stem
Let all the parts dry out and create a callous where they’ve been removed
Place on top of soil until roots and baby plants start forming
Remove the original leaf and plant the new offspring, as well as the original rosette - tada!
Propagate Succulents from Leaves
1.) Select a healthy leaf to propagate. Choose a leaf that is in good health, with a hearty shape and no rips or blemishes. Typically you will choose a larger, more mature leaf than a young, under-developed one.
Pull the leaf off neatly. Use a razor blade or a craft knife to make a clean cut. The knife or blade should be sterilized in white spirit or similar before use; this prevents the transfer of any disease that could harm the succulent plant.
Some plants, like "jade plants", the leaves will come off easily or even drop off the plant spontaneously. You can either use "volunteers" or select the one you want.
If you use your fingers, be very gentle. Twist the leaf carefully back and forth, from side to side to pull it off intact, without ripping the stem of the plant.
2.)
Let the leaf or leaves dry. Once you pulled off the leaves you wish to propagate, allow them to dry out a little bit. Let them dry for 1-3 days.
Do not water the leaf until after 1-3 days as your leaf may turn brown and mushy and will start to rot.
The "wound" on the stem of the parent plant should also be allowed to air dry in a sheltered and well-lit spot for a few hours. During its healing process, the plant will seal the wound and help prevent disease from getting in.
Place the dried leaves on some soil ready to grow. Just place them on top of the soil. Do not bury or semi-bury into the soil. The roots will find their way into the soil on their own. As you're going to look at it for a good amount of months, you may as well make it look nice in pretty pattern or just place them randomly - that's all up to you.
The soil should be well drained. If you need to improvise good growing soil, mix half well-rotted compost with half fine pumice or grit.
Water the leaf. The leaves need water at some point but only a light sprinkling. While "grown-up" succulents only need to be watered every second week, or even once a month (depending on the season/heat), the leaves need to be watered constantly without being watered too much. Only water the soil after it is dry (stick your finger into the soil around the planted leaves; if it feels moist, watering is not needed but if it's dry, then water).
Wait. All you have to do now is to wait for the leaves to grow roots or even new leaves. You'll see some changes within just a month or so.

More detailed video on succulent propagation with 90 days update ..:) have a look guys thanks..:) czcams.com/video/SzBeSJpd9To/video.html
My Crasulla Ogata, Jade started to droop ,eventually all the leaves fell and it died. I watered it once a week. what could have gone wrong? kept in shade, got no direct sunlight, but well lit room.
can you please identify succulent species that can not be propogated by this technique
Urban Gardening Do I use damn cocopeat or dry? I’m waiting to propagate mine until I get your response.
Me，
@@mehuldalmia4457 you cant keep succulents in shade for long. And once a week still sounds overwatered.
ngl indian men on the internet has tought me more about life, IT and plants than school. thank uu!!
LMAO😂😂😂
Agreed 💯
That part ☝️☝️☝️
people find this offensive no joke
@@LKonstantina915 it's a compliment.
5 years and this video is still helping people. Thank you!
🙏💐
Thanks for the help. I got my first tiny little succulent from a friend last summer, it was half-dead on arrival, partially cooked on my friend's car dashboard after being found in a trash bin. It was making a full recovery, but this winter I accidently knocked it over and broke the stem. I saved the leaves and been trying much of your advice, now many of the leaves are taking root. It feels good being able to give this plant yet another chance to shine.
Great 🤝😊
I've knocked over two of my jade plants in the last 6 months and it's so frustrating. The first one died within a week and none of the leaves took, the second one wasn't as damaged and I'm hoping it'll be okay. It's been a week already so it's already doing better than the first one.
Thank you for very succinct and clear how-to.
There are people, like me, who do not arrange things like cuttings into any sort of pattern, and there are people, like you, that see it as the opportunity to create order and beauty.
I really love the fact that you show the "after" so that we will have an idea of what this will look like. Well done.
thank u..:)
Finally! a video that is informative enough to be useful and not uselessly long. Thank you!
angela autrey thank you for such a beautiful comment 😊🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I honestly love this video for that one fact! I just watched a seven minute video and I still have no idea what it was about. This video is really good, super easy 🌵🌵🌵
I agree
Yes thank you!
Agreed 100%
@@ooiamsamoo yes..I'm agree with you
This is a really great video. I especially like that you showed what a calloused base looks like and how to plant them specifically. Most articles I read didn't do that. Much appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you for your help!
Thanks 🙏 Happy Gardening
I noticed other people’s obsession with succulents before I became obsessed myself. I love succulents ❤️
Thank you for the information. I like the symmetrical design you arranged the leaves in. My Dad loved to grow plants and I still have one, a sedum he started many years ago. He pasted away 5 years ago so keeping this plant alive is very important to me. Now I can propagate many backups so my children can enjoy them for many years as well.
:) sure ma'am ..go ahead...good luck..:)
thats such a good idea!
Love this idea! Best of luck with your plants ;o)
Victoria Greenwood so beautiful 💕
What a lovely way to honor and pass on memories of your father. Best of luck to you.
my roommates killed off all my succulents by watering them like a normal plant ;___; I'll try to save what I can by replanting the leaves that aren't yet rotten so thanks for the tips
u are welcome ..:)
Hehe, atlest your roomate waters lol
I'd be mad as hell at them.
May i ask, how should you water succulents when they are full grown or like in the vid when they can be replanted?
@@axelaazej you water deeply when needed then let it completely dry out. That's what I always hear in succulent care videos
Now i know why it rot so many of them...never knew i had to dry them...thank you so muchhhh 😊
Happy gardening 🙂
Hello...how can i know if i dried my leaves properly? I already planted it in the soil but im not confident enough...(i watch the video but i can't differentiate the newly cut leaf and the scabbed one. Im so sorry.)
I have watched this video many many times!! Excellent!! Thanks! I am a Trucker and when I get home I enjoy my Wife, my Dogs and my succulents!! I am new but gaining experience with propagation
Great 🤝 happy Gardening
Thank you! I started to become obsessed with succulents about 2 weeks ago and currently own 12. I want to start propagating them for my family and friends so they can enjoy beautiful succulents as well.
great...:)
Me too😍😍😍😍
I always admire all the gardeners and farmers around the world.. they are the only ones who is actually trying to save the earth by making it more greener.. and the way it should be 'green and beautiful'😊..providing us with more of oxygen to survive on.. I feel each and every person on this earth should be inspired by people like u sir.. and start their gardening right away.. 😄😄 I have started mine.. 😊 Ty again
Thank u for such a beautiful message..:)Yes Planting trees is one of the easiest and most sustainable ways to positively affect the environment. We need trees now more than ever!Trees are our lifeline to cleaner air and a healthier environment.
Urban Gardener yes that's so true.. 😊 and I just can't believe how people can give a negative response to such a great video😱
Urban Gardener keep posting such great videos sir.. looking forward for more😊😊
sure..:0
U never had chemistry
Thank you so much! I have a succulent garden, my first one, and plants are expensive. With your clear instructions I can save money and improve the garden!!
Happy Gardening 😊
I love the way you say “coco pete” lol
😀💐
I found some fallen leaves from succulent plants at a big box nursery and grabbed some to try hehe
Garden Organizs hahhhhaa good luck 😊😊🤗
This is how I've built my entire succulent garden.
Lol today my friend did the same thing hahhaha he grabbed to leafs and now will try to grow them
@@DanielRiera loooooool
Lmao good idea. I'd only have the balls if they had fallen off already anyways.
I don't think there is much more I can say about your video that hasn't already been said. So you sir, I thank you for this. As an absolute beginner on these, this is one method I shall try amd will inform you of my results. Great work and great vid. Well done.
thank you..:) good luck..:) have a nice day
Thank you for this! I received two succulent leaves and didn't know what to do with them. This vid has saved two plants :)
Thank you for these informative videos!... My wife & I are now hooked!... & we love your voice!... We could listen to you speak all day!... Thanks again!
I liked how you placed the leaves on the rooting tray in a pretty arrangement. Good idea because I will probably keep the tray close to me to observe the moisture and progress. Well done video!!
happy gardening..:)
I AM SO STUPID i literally buried them omg thank you so MUCH for this! ❤
🙂
Me too. We are both stupid.
😅
I tryed doing that once too!
I work in a garden nursery. We do not have Succulants but I adore them. Thank you. I have learned much from you. 🙏
Thanks 🙏
This is the best gardening channel I've ever seen ❤❤❤❤
Great video, very informative, thank you :)
Beautifully shot video, informative and straight to the point. Thank you!
thank u...:)
have you made any video on succulent care tips? if yes then please share the link
This was very helpful. Most people who make propagation videos tend to assume the viewer already knows the specifics, but that is not my case as a pretty new gardener. Recently re-potted and pruned a rather oversized Echeveria I've had, and will definitely try this out with the excess leaves I pruned from the bottom when re-shaping it.
Thank you sir!
Thank you for the really informative video without beating around the bush. Best wishes from the US.
This is great!! I can't wait to try this!
Jonna Martinez thank you ma'am 😊😊🤗
Jonna Martinez did it work
Same, spraying them with water was smart
how did it go??
Really good video. Literally jumped out of my sofa when he showed the "after" picture!!!😆. Can't wait to try this!!!!🌵🌵🌵🌵
Good luck.. 🙂 happy gardening
Finally an informative video that doesn’t talk too much before showing us how to propagate.
Succulent plants are my new passion! I'm so glad to find your channel sir! This video is so excellent! Thank you!
Aaah 45-60days! Need to be patient.
The subtitles are much appreciated! Way to go, accessibility! 🥳
Nobody told me to dry the leaves first. Thank you so much for this. I hope it will works for me. 😍
I've been trying to propagate from my echeveria for weeks, and this video finally got me a successful result! Thank you much for this video and your helpful tips.
Thomas Smith wooww 😊😊🤗 thank you for sharing your experience 😊😊😃😃🤗
I love the way you make a design with the leaves,very imaginative and an attractive ways to propagate, I am a horticulturalist myself and propagation is my favorite activities.Daniel.
thank u ..:) great...:)
I love hearing him talk!! He is so knowledgeable and so relaxing. I just love his videos. And the ones that are in Hindi I can totally understand anyway
🙏🏻
AWESOME AWESOME VID!!! THANK YOU!!!! I love your accent, I could listen to you talk all day
😀💐

Vanessa Nunez hahhhaaha 😊😊🤗😉
Thank you for this. You've got such a lovely, inspiring and accessible manner. It's great to have more blokes making these kinds of videos. Made me smile.
This is the purest most wholesome video.
Thanks 🤝💐
I like the idea of using the shallow pot tray for propagation. Very helpful ideas, and you make it look so easy. Thank you!
Thanks so much. I have been really wanting more succulents and now I think I can propagate my own. Really good video and you explained everything perfectly.
thank you...;)
Best video I've found. Thank you for making it so simple
Happy Gardening 💐
This is probably the best video I've seen on youtube on how to propagate plants.. This was very simple and straight to the point..! THANK YOU!!!
this is true .. my succulents leaves will fall off and the leaves will grow roots into the ground by itself without me doing anything to it thank you
Perfect video! I’ve got a couple different kinds that are currently propagating, and I can’t wait to see how they turn out. Thank you! ☺️
I tried it and my baby succulents are growing. Thankyou so much!
Great 😊
This video was simple and straight to the point! I was able to successfully propagate several succulents by following this video. THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you 😊
It looks like so much fun, I've taken notes & look forward to giving a try! Also thanks for taking the time caption.
thanks..:)
Thank you. I was not letting mine Callus could not figure out how the ones that fell propagated and the one I tried failed and the mister bottle! Instead of waters succulents are my favorite I had one grow huge behind some roses and never New it was there it is huge! It’s now inside and my prized plant!
I appreciate the open captions on the video! It makes it very easy to follow!
I just got a succulent today and I picked a few leafs from the bottom to grow. Wish me luck. And the video helps a thousand times more!
Gud luck 😊😊
Thank you for saying why not to put them in the soil right away because I've had so many leaves die and always just assumed it was a 50/50 chance of sprouting. Although it may be for the best about half of the ones I got did get to sprout quickly and I didn't have enough extra cash laying around to buy a new pot for all of them.
:)
Just a friendly reminder, literally anything (in theory) can be used as a pot so long as you have access to some soil. I’ve used old candle jars (after having melted out all the old wax with boiling hot water of course), metal tins from various food products, old glass jars from food items and metal buckets. Also any ceramic pots or containers that I had spare just laying around. Literally anything can be used in theory, even ceramic bowls and kitchenware. Just whatever you have spare laying about. These are especially good to use whilst your plants are still establishing a root system as you can’t say for sure that they will 100% survive, once you’re confident they will survive and they’ve grown a little into a appropriate sized plant you can go out and purchase a proper terracotta pot or what have you (even then those pots aren’t overly expensive whatsoever but I prefer personally not to have dozens of empty pots laying around since I live in an apartment with limited balcony space so I’ll only purchase more plant pots as I need them).
- You can use empty plastic containers that grocery produce comes in; a broken mug; anything that can hold the potting mix (in this case cocoa-peat was used); empty face cream jars; caps off hair-spray or shaving-cream containers; anything under the sun!
@@elaineculbert8594 Being able to use anything sounds great, but what about the fact that these other items don’t have drainage holes for the water?
@@zaria.rejean - When you’re “sprouting” something, there’s not much of a root system for a while, therefore, drainage holes aren’t that vital. When watering, a good misting is all that’s necessary so there’s little water collecting at the bottom. That’s why I’m saying any item that can hold a small amount of potting mix is sufficient until time has passed and there’s a good root system. Then, yes, drainage holes are then needed when the seedling/sapling/etc. is being replanted to a larger, more permanent container.
This is a brilliant video! Very informative and you clearly show each step which beginners like me definitely need! Thanks so much and I can't wait to see if my succulent leaves root and grow 😁
I am so glad I found this video, it way more informative and visual and you actually waited 50 says to show us how they will look like, thank you so much. Every other video would just show bits of everything.
Thank you! My daughter & I are grateful for the information & excited to try:) Have a great day!
