I've had a Kalanchoe like the ones you have for almost 4 years, I removed it from it's pot after the "Parent" had dropped it and had rooted for about 3 weeks. It was only an inch tall!🤗 Now it's about 3 feet tall and producing babies that I'm propegating.I have a Wandering Jew,a Red Begonia also.They are all growing nicely but I'm partial toward this type of succulent because it responds faster than other houseplants and roots quicker.I have to also remember that it's more delicate,it's sensitive to extreme temperatures- hot and cold! and rough handling so I treat them gently but with sureness & care.They grow alot faster and healthier with daily talk and touch I've noticed! 😺
U scare me talking to ur plants. I sing to my plants, well i use to but they wilted so i nolw play music. doing much better. i also carress them gently under there leaves and tell them How beautiful they are Take that
@@peterdecicco9673 as long as you care for them, it doesn't matter if you sing,talk, rap or converse because they always respond with your patience and dedication!😏🪴
Very helpful.. I have only a stem cutting no roots and no flowers.. I was wondering how to propagate, when to water etc...i watched many youtube videos & yours actually helped me with my questions..thank u
I usually wait about a week or two, to water my propagations, it all depends, whenever roots start to grow, that's when I start giving it some water😊 You can tell roots have formed by giving it a gentle tug.. if you feel tension, you know it starting to root, if it pulls right out, it usually means that no roots have developed yet.
Hi there, great question.. It's up to you really. I wait until they are a pretty good size before I re-plant the babies. The leaf it was propagated from will shrivel up and become crispy allowing you to gently tug it away from the baby succulent. This will help it to start growing on its own. When you re-plant the baby is up to you in the end, but I usually wait until they're about an inch or so tall before doing so, just so I have a better success in them surviving. Hope this helps! Sorry for the delayed response.
I'm completely new to succulents, was given multiple varieties of cuttings. Alot of information varies with cuttings, some say to water cuttings and some say to never water cuttings until roots appear. I live in a very dry climate and am conflicted!
I usually don't water my cuttings until I start seeing root growth. When I take a cutting I let it scab over at the end for a few days (the cuttings you get from the nursery are usually all ready to go). When the ends are all healed over, I plant them up in a really well draining succulent and cactus potting mix. I mix my own with the Black Gold succulent soil and add perlite and pumice to it. I have to use way more drainage material than most because of my climate here in Florida, so you'll have to find a happy medium that works for you in your type of climate. (That takes a little bit of practice😉). When roots start to grow I start to water lightly, just enough to moisten the soil for the first and second waterings. One way you can tell roots are starting to grow without pulling it out of the soil, is by tugging on the sucuclent gently and if you feel tension, you know it started to root and you can start watering.. If it pulls right out of the soil, you know it hasn't rooted and I usually wait to water. Some sedum require moistened soil to root but that takes experimenting with the type of varieties you have. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. I'm always happy to help 🌱 I might not be able to answer the next few days, we have some family things happening at the moment but I'll answer as quickly as I can. Thanks for stopping in! I wish you the best of luck ❤
You never want the bottom ends to scab over,if they do then take a sterile scalple and slice off the part that's inhibiting the roots to push through that nasty barrier! Plants cannot thrive and roots cannot grow without clean water, proper nourishment and love & care; time devoted to the helpless infants who depend & rely solely upon our daily attention like any young animal or human baby does! 😕
Thanks for your advice, all methods are always welcome. I know there are many techniques out there, so I always say, do what works for you😊. I've found that not letting my succulents scab over for a day or 2 before planting, usually causes root rot to set in. Once the succulent is calloused over at the ends that I cut, I place them in succulent soil and mist the top inch of the soil lightly to keep it a little moist. This helps to encourage roots to grow faster. Sometimes I will hold back on watering until roots start to grow, but it all depends on the type of succulent it is and what's going on, if it's healthy or not etc.. If your system works, than by all means go for it. I just can't propagate a lot of my succulents that way because they usually rot with our type of climate here🌿
Thank you! It's because they grow in full sun (full sun is considered 6hrs in the summertime, here in zone 9b). I'm not really sure how long they live, before they push out a death bloom. I think mine lasted about 2-3 yrs before that happened. If not grown in the proper conditions they can become leggy and stretched out.
Thanks for subscribing & commenting! Sorry to hear you haven't had any luck. When I propagate my succulents, I avoid watering for the first 2 weeks at least after taking the cutting, that's when roots usually start to show and it's safe to water without causing rot. Always try again, they are so forgiving and will survive harsh conditions for short periods of time. Try taking a look at my succulent videos, I have many of them that might help you😊
Again, my issue is I water everything...oops, ive lost so many plants, Noe I have a 5" er of this nd the putter leaves r dieing over the sides of the lil container. So I shld stop watering and let her grow? She's doing beautifully inside, its the outter leaves only..Also how long till babies start growing? TY in advance
I got a plant like this one month ago some yellow spots appeared in some leaves and purple spots appeared in the root What can I do pls The affected leaves didn't grow seeds since that time
Hi stacey my mother of thousands isnt doing well at all it very dehydrated and I think its dying unfortunately,I don't know anything about this plant please help. Hope you are keeping well my friend xxx God bless
Oh no, have you been watering at all? Is it in succulent soil? I know if I don't plant my succulents in succulent type soil, the roots end up rotting out, which makes the succulent look very dehydrated because it can't take up any water.
If it's not in succulent soil already, I would recommend repotting in a type of succulent soil. When you repot, just try to make sure the soil is dry, so there is no chance of moisture getting to it. I would also check for rotted roots and remove anyrhing that's unhealthy looking (brown and mushy), leaving the healthy roots behind (healthy roots should be white)...
I hope this helps, just let me know if there's anything else you need😊 I wish you all the best of luck with this little guy. Mother of a thousand babies are really hardy succulents, so you should be able to fix it, if you get to the problem in time😊
Some aloes varieties can be propagated in water, but they should be transplanted into a succulent type potting soil, once roots are big enough. Honestly propagating in water is not something I do with my succulents and I usually don't recommend that to my friends either. Succulents do so much better left dry in succulent soil, once the cutting is taken. Than you can water in about a week to 2 weeks depending on the variety and how fast you think its rooted. One way I tell if my succulents or cacti have rooted is to tug on the plant from the base very gently and if there is tension it's usually rooted and safe to start watering. If it pulls right out, with just a gentle tug, it usually means no roots yet. My motto for succulents and cacti is, 'no roots no water'. 🤗
I'm not sure I totally understand your question but the mother of a thousand babies produces little babies on each leaf, inbetween each ridge on the leaf, those fall down to the soil and will grow into new plants and those will grow up, flower and start producing babies as well. This is a really invasive plant and will drop thousands of tiny babies each year.
think she means will the same leaf of mother plant keep making babies or does she only do it once but as I recall I think the same leaf can make babies many times as long as the leaf doesn't die
this plant can survive a nuclear bomb it never dies it always finds a way to keep growing even if u throw a leaf in the dirt it will produce roots and start growing its doesn't matter the dirt either
It will usually depend with each individual plant and their location, but usually as early as 3-6 months. I had babies that started to grow babies, this past summer when it was getting a lot of sun. They will produce a lot during their lifetime, hence the name "Mother of a thousand babies". 🤗 They are very invasive out in the garden v.s. in a pot
I don't know if I've said this before but that has to be one of the craziest names for a plant.😁
Hope your feeling better soon.
Thanks again Stacey!🙏
I thought so too! Lol. My little frenchie has a double ear infection too, so we're both going to be taking it easy for the rest of the day. Thanks!
I hope you feel better soon your mother of thousands is huge!
Thank you! She really has been growing a lot lately.

Hello stacey ...very nice my friend..
Thank you!
Dear Stacey Can you count how many babies plants? 🌿🌸 Flowers on buds easily cout. Hope your flowers 💐 blooms too
That would take so long to count every baby that pops out of each leaf point. lol. 🤔 I wonder!
Is it just me or is her voice warm and happy?
Thank you😊🌱
Hi thanks for the info . btw should I harvest and plant the babies myself or just leave them on their own?

Stacy, they look so healthy and "stacky!" I've seen others that are so elongated. How long do plants live before the death bloom? Thanks.

Will a cutting root in soil.? Mine don't
Yes, of course
Once a leaf of Mother Of Thousands has dropped the plantlets… will it grow plantlets again or does it just happen once?
I'm not sure I totally understand your question but the mother of a thousand babies produces little babies on each leaf, inbetween each ridge on the leaf, those fall down to the soil and will grow into new plants and those will grow up, flower and start producing babies as well. This is a really invasive plant and will drop thousands of tiny babies each year.
think she means will the same leaf of mother plant keep making babies or does she only do it once but as I recall I think the same leaf can make babies many times as long as the leaf doesn't die
What is this "Death bloom" ?
It's the last bloom these put out before dying off and seeding themselves out. The death bloom usually forms in the very middle of the plant.
Oh. Okay. Thank you so much. 😊
Anytime🦋
this plant can survive a nuclear bomb it never dies it always finds a way to keep growing even if u throw a leaf in the dirt it will produce roots and start growing its doesn't matter the dirt either
Absolutely lol
In my rent house the roof is cover in mother of thousand and nobody likes it and always kill it,😅😅
At what age do they get babies?
It will usually depend with each individual plant and their location, but usually as early as 3-6 months. I had babies that started to grow babies, this past summer when it was getting a lot of sun. They will produce a lot during their lifetime, hence the name "Mother of a thousand babies". 🤗 They are very invasive out in the garden v.s. in a pot
