Is it okay to use grow lights? Also, is there a better time of year to do this? I have more time in late fall and winter, but I do have a warm room with grow lights that are on a timer. Thank you for your excellent video. It is very easy to understand.
@@craiggolden7072 Hi. Every succulent will have their own growing seasons, but normally in Spring and Summer, which are the best time for propagation. And yes, the place you live does really affect your plants, of course ☺
I'm very new to succulents- I was wondering, when is the best time to move offsets from the mother plant to their own pot? After the soil is dry, 5-7 days after watering? Or what? And after separating do you repot them right away? And then you wait several days to water them correct? Also when do you know your succulent needs to be moved to a bigger pot? I've had a hard time finding Step by step tutorial for offsets. I've found some info here and there, so thanks for answering my questions in advance!
The best time to separate offsets is when they are mature enough, usually when they are about 1/3 the size of the mother plant. After separating the offsets, let them dry for 1-2 days before repotting them in well-draining soil. Wait another 5-7 days before watering them, and just water when the potting mix has dried out completely. You can use your finger to check the soil. If the soil feels dry and powdery when you stick your finger in up to the second knuckle, it's time to water your plant. You'll know your succulent needs a bigger pot when it becomes root-bound, outgrows the current pot, or shows slowed growth.
@SucculentsBox Wow, thanks for the quick response. Your channel is great, I had just found your channel last night, so I asked my question and then watched a few more videos and was able to answer most of the questions myself, but thank you so much for explaining step by step the process as it was very helpful. I've never had great luck keeping plants alive most of my life, but I've been doing really well with my succulents, so I'm really nervous repotting the mother plant to a larger pot when needed and the offsets too. So, thank you for settling my nerves! Lol 😊
I have a lot of leaf propogations on the go but many of them are 2 month old with lots of roots but no pups and I’m not sure what to do. All of them are from the same Echiveria mother plant but my leaf propogations from other succulents are rooting and producing pups.
I've had no luck so far propagating 😢. I have many many leaves not one has propagated and a few have died I used eggshell drained water to mist with maybe I should switch to just regular water or not even mist that all 🤷
So I have been unsuccessful in propagating from leaves. I place them on dry soil and then water. Seems nothing is happening. Do I need growth lights? I have them inside garage near window 4 indirect sunlight. These leaves end up drying up. Please advise
Hi, there are some reason why your propagation wasn't successful. We have a blog about this topic that you might want to check, hope it would help 😉 succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/what-could-go-wrong-with-your-succulent-propagation
Hi, normally we will mix the potting soil, sand, and perlite or pumice in the ratio - 2:2:1 for succulents. However, if you live in the humid area, you might test with the ratio of more perlite as it would help your soil mix more porous😉
I did this with my succulent and there are now four new rosettes growing on either side of the original plant… am I supposed to cut them off and replant them or leave the to grow??
@@chanchan172 Okay so now patience is key Check soil, environment and leaf orientation again. Some succulent take longer than others to produce new plants from leaf cuttings. So if leaves are still alive and producing roots, there is a good chance they will eventually generate new growth.
I received my subscription order yesterday and I was disappointed on how things seemed they were thrown in there. I also received an order from Etsy for succulents as well and when comparing.. you can tell they packaged the order with care. The succulent also had “wounds/scars” from where it looks like it was previously damaged.. Please talk with your packaging staff and do a quality control check.
Hi, we're so sorry for your subscription and the unhappy experience. We will focus on the packing step more carefully. Please send an email to us via support@succulentsbox.com, and our team will support you with your case!
I wish my gf was a plant girl... she's not allowed to even look at my plants. Even if they are wilting. 100% black thumb on her... gave her an "unkillable" plant and it was somehow dead in 5 days... I swear she uses salt water. But she does like my plants.
I got a couple rescue echeveria qnd did the same... now i have at least 20 babies 😆 theyre so cute!
Wow! That's great 🤩
Great video! Too the point, no filler and it answered my questions. Thank you!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing your experience. Appreciate it ❤
Trying this method out currently..ty for the advice!! Great video
Glad you like it😋
Do you have to wait for the soil to dry before misting the soil again?
Thank you S. B for this lovely video.
If doing that nethod,yes. But be careful to not over spray and rot them. I just place them on moist soil. All water will be drawn from that leaf
You must be doing a bottom watering.
How about if one sprays the leaves and then blow off the water settling on the leaves?will this work fine?
Great video!

Yes, you can use grow light as an alternative when your plant cannot get any sunlight naturally 😉
Good question! Can they grow year round? Or is Fall/Spring better? Does it matter where you live?

I get leaves but no roots .Why.?
I am not sure that misting leaves until roots are develop is a good idea, other videos on UA-cam say against that
I’ve heard both. I’ve always misted mine and they do fine. But I would say whatever works for you is fine :)
I did this with my succulent and there are now four new rosettes growing on either side of the original plant… am I supposed to cut them off and replant them or leave the to grow??
It depends on you. Separate and replant if you prefer to have individual plants or want to propagate more succulents
Hi, question: ive been trying to propagate succulents a few times now and the leaves grow new roots but no plant itself. What am i doing wrong??
How long has it been since new roots have grown? In general, baby plants will appear in about 8 weeks
@@SucculentsBox I don't know when the roots began sprouting but I've started this lil project in the beginning of April!

@@SucculentsBox the soil is really dry. Is it okay like that? I'm rather new to the entire topic so I'm very much learning on the go 🥺
@@chanchan172 Soil should be moist, prevented from drying out. Just use a light misting
