How to propagate succulents from leaf?

Although easy to do, propagation from leaf is not a widely accepted practice. Propagation methods that work best are division and cuttings. In division, the plant’s crown is divided into sections and each section is placed in individual pots. The pots are kept moist and the roots develop. The best time to do division is when the plant is young and the roots grow close to the crown.

How to propagate succulents from cuttings?

The best way to propagate succulents from cuttings is by taking cutting from a healthy plant and placing them in a rooting medium. You can use peat moss or perlite (or a combination of both) as a rooting medium. Keep the cuttings moist at all times and place them under a bright light, close to a window. Check them regularly and remove the cuttings when roots start to form.

How to propagate succulents from branch?

Branches are an easy way to propagate succulents. They are ready to root whenever they get plenty of sunlight. You can cut a branch from your favorite plant and place it in a pot of compost. If the plant is a fast grower, roots will form within a week. When roots form, remove the branch. Carefully take out the roots and place them in a pot of compost. Your plant will root further.

How to propagate succulents from cut leaf?

If you have collected a big bunch of leaves from your succulent plants, you can use these to propagate new plants. All you need to do is strip the leaves of their roots, wash them, and place them in a pot with some potting soil. Keep the pot in a bright area that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight. After a few weeks, roots should start to form and you can plant the cuttings in the ground.

How to propagate succulents from broken leaves?

You can propagate succulents from broken leaves, but you need to do it in a way that the roots don’t get damaged. This can be done by placing the cuttings in a jar or pot with potting mix, water, and enough water to cover them when the roots are about a half to two-thirds of their way up. Remove the cuttings after a few weeks and plant them in a pot with proper growing conditions.
