JustThangToo I watched a video where the person put his leaves under a cake carrier cover he got at the dollar store. He said it expedited his results. Have you ever tried this? I can’t find his video but would like to try his method.
You are the first person that has actually guided propagation step by step and also explained it! THANK YOU!! Best proletarian video out there in the UA-cam world!
@@gailfriend8164 from the experience that I've had when propping, depending on humidity levels of course, for ex I live in the US in Arizona and our weather is beyond dry. We have less than 15% humidity most of the year so it's challenging to keep props with enough moisture rather than having too much. The way you can tell is, since u have had some rot, u know it's too much moisture. So usually when they are little still, a couple spritzes in the morning every day is enough and as they get bigger you may need to do deeper watering. But to start, spritz then, don't water. That's true for most of the US besides Arizona or Nevada really. The goal is not to keep them wet but rather with the minimum amount of moisture without letting the new roots get too dry and dry off. Feel the soil and if there's dampness on ur finger tips, don't water. And don't water before you see a few roots! That's the biggest thing. Cuz then they will just rot on the soil without being able to root. I don't have as much experience as this amazing guy does but I hope it helps!! Good luck!
Yes!!! I've found so many that only say, lay on the soil, and done. No explanation about roots or babies, or what's a good one and what are the bad ones
I don't have a green thumb and I've killed even succulents. However I've been able to propogate apparently! I have a few different kinds going and it made me so happy to see the little roots and/or lil tiny babies coming out. Makes me feel successful and like I might have a chance at being a plant mama 😭😭
@Jamey Craig the main thing that kills succulants is too much water. Peopel who kill succs tend to water them like normal plants and that kills them. Just give them a little drink about once a month or 3 wks. They also put them in soil that's too heavy, Get soft cactus soil. The more you ignore succs the better they grow, And they ike a window sunlight. . They are easy to grow if you don't treat them like you would a geranium and drown it. Keep that in mind. :-) And they are also very easy to propagare. Whack off a leaf like he did and lay it ont he soil and aguain."ignore it" for wks. When you come back it'll have roots and maybe even a baby. Been there done that.
I know your comment was 2 yrs ago but I'm not good at keeping plants alive and I'm trying my hand at succulents. If you have any advice I'd love to hear it. I bought some from Lowe's and they're mushed in tight so fingers crossed I don't kill them while separating them 🙃
I've been collecting and propagating succulents for 2-3 months and this is the BEST instructional video for succulent propagation I've seen. I'll be watching more of your videos. Beautiful!
Thank you, this is my 1st time trying to propagate succulents. We have a bunch at work and i want some for my home, and I want to try to grow instead of purchase them. My boys are enjoying watching some of my other plants so we are going to give this a try. Your video is so informative and I am so glad I came across this. Happy Planting yall!
SO one question, I cut a stem from one of my plants and it already has a few small roots, do I need to let it callus? or should I lay it on the mud now?
Omg thank you!!! Just, thank you!!! I’ve been spending the last few months trying to fix my overgrown plants and fill in the empty spaces in my succulent garden with new growth. Your channel is one of my faves that I found on this recent journey and your advice has proven to be solid in my experience. My garden thriving and tidy ❤️😌
Thank you for this video! I'm propagating succulents for the first time through leaf cuttings. It has FINALLY started growing babies and I was confused on what the next steps were to have a successful propagation. Your video is the first video I've seen so far that details what to do after the babies sprout!
Simply said...You're The MAN..with the MOST! NO B.S...NO frills. And YES, my Brother, PATIENCE IS KEY to propagating/ Re-growing our lovely succulents. ThankYou, 🌹
For years, I have been a succulent serial killer. I was determined to have, grow, and love succulents....and.....THEY DIED! All of them. At my hands. Or thumbs...sob! So, so saaad. This year, with all the time I have had on my hands (or thumbs,) (thanks covid,) I tried again. My mom had a few stragglers (Walmart specials) fighting for life in her kitchen so I took a few leaf cuttings and lay them out on soil after they healed (two months ago.) I've been thinking I am doing something wrong, not spraying enough water each morning or giving them enough light (Alberta, Canada yay!) because there has been no sign of life. Am I a baby killer now? Crying! Anyway, I thought I would look for inspiration, found your video, and want to thank you because I feel better. And lo and behold, I just looked at some of my favorite cuttings and I have growth starting! Little roots mostly, but OMG! I won't breathe on them, or look them straight in the eye, just in case they feel threatened and die on the spot. And a stump I saved after taking all of the leaves off (not enough light so very leggy,) has four babies growing!! Just a little more patience, and I'll have so many little baby succulents running around! Um...ok that's weird, eh? Many thanks again for your helpful video
I just want to applaud you for your detailed explanations. I myself took a stem cutting of a succulent outside and brought it home. It is doing fabulous. However I did not know about plucking the leaves. I am so excited to try this.
I'm so glad I found you through my recommended. I've never had much luck with propagation and you're the first video I found that really detailed different methods and stages of propagation. You've got yourself a new subscriber haha. Thank you very much for sharing these information! Have a nice day!
@Gemma Saint Hey, you can look through succulentsandsunshine.com, they are likely to have the name of your plant, if not, try mountaincrest, though it is a succulent shop site, everything is well labeled/categorized and I've found many of my unnamed plants through there.
Hands down, the BEST propagation video on UA-cam! I've been doing it for a while now, and you confirmed some lingering questions I had! I love how thorough you were and how you explained details that most propagation videos skip. I also like how you explained different options with roots, stems, & leaf cuttings. Plus, your personality is fabulous! 👌😁 I'm so happy I found your video, and now your channel. Thank you!!!
I agree with Caitlyn, your video answered any question us newbies may have. Thank you so much for sharing, both your love of and knowledge of growing succulents. Although I have had succulents for years, it wasn't until 'COVID-19' had us in lockdown, the first time, that I came across groups dedicated to growing these beautiful plants, with amazing colours.
First person that has plant videos that I actually love their personality. I will come back here for all my plant needs so I don’t fall asleep while learning!
I love your Channel Thang. You are hilarious and very engaging. I’ve learnt so much from you. Thank you for putting out such great content. Love rewatching your videos.
I have been looking for a video like this for beginners like me and this is the only video that I can learn and understand step by step on how to propagate succulents! Bless your heart! 🙌🏼
Every bit of this was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much! I only have one succulent and want to propagate it in as many ways as possible, and you definitely gave me a lot of options! I didn't know any of this was possible, so it's somewhat amazing! Thanks again! By the way, the camera focused perfectly!
Thank you so much for this video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Ever video I’ve watched for propagating succulents leaves me wondering what to do after the babies grow on the leaf 🍃 So I never knew how to place them in the soil to grow! Kudos to you for going threw the whole process. Loving your videos 😉
Thank you for the step by step process… I learned so much from your video. I am a experienced outside yard gardener … but for some reason succulents are not my friend! They have tested every nerve I have! I think I finally found someone who can help me. YOU! TY so much again for the informative video and I will let you know how my succulent plants turn out.
God bless always.. I learned more when I saw your youtube explaining how to propagate.. Thank you.. hope you can see my comments. I follow you always..
I learned more in 15 minutes from watching Thangs videos then I have in several months! Thank you so much Because you also answered every question that I was going to ask! Happy Succulenting!
Hi Thang, thank you SO much for this awesome and informative video! After watching three times, I do have a remaining question - when I remove the baby from the leaf cutting, do I need to wait until it heals like with the rosette beheading, or can I put straight in to the soil? You show all the little rooted babies in the pot, but did not specify whether you put them straight there or let them sit first. I accidentally removed it, it also had a very long stem. TBH I found the leaf with roots and a pup amongst the moss in the pot of my HUGE Ghost succulent. It has two babies already and this video inspired me to stem cut one off and take leaves off all my succulents to propagate. Thanks again!!
Thank you very much. I've learned do much info. I've just started planting. Just bought mini cactus seeds...I started by propagating cactus firesticks from cuttings and they're really doing good. I have many different types of cactus plants which I've never propagated from, but will now since watching your channel. Again thanks, stay safe and healthy... David
These ehowy plants from the Canary Islands have now transformed my home.These plants look like something out of this world ...I love succulents.Thanks for the inspiring video and information...I love Cereus cactus is a South American succulent that is resistant to dry air, harsh sun, water shortages, The perfec gift for people who don't have time to care for plants or don't have a penchant for flowers .Its dark green color looks nice in light, small pots...
I love how you take your time explaining things and refraze it in different ways If I didn't understand the first time I understand it again later. This is a very thorough video so I appreciate it.
I don’t think I saw you water at all when you put all those leaves on top of the soil when do I start watering those leaves and is it just a spritz with a spray bottle? Anyone know?
@@cmarlow41 normal means very little wayer. . Like just enough to dampen the top of the soil. And only about once/ month. Just spritz a bit when you transplant the baby but try not to give the baby a bath. lol Then ignore it for a month or so . Overwatering is what kills succs. I started growing them a couple yrs. ago. They sit in my kitchen window that has bright morning sunlight. I don't give them much attention and when I finally remember to check on them... they're doing fine. Babires are growing and leaves are all heathy. And soft cactus soil is better for them instead of heavy house plant soil.
I had or still have a succulent that has grown in tge same bowl fir about 6 years. I cut it so I can grow new plants. I kept the long stems . Now I'm going to see if they will make new baby plants. I stuck the cut off tops in new soil. I guess I'll remove them so they can callous some. Your video is so awesome. Glad I kept the long stems. Thank you🪴
Fantastic walk-through of all the steps for propagation. You see so many contradictory methods out there, and I really appreciate how you cover all options. Very thorough, and I found this video quite helpful and educational.
@@carlablaservasquez4349 hahaha. Totally forgot this post. Since a year ago, I found my an answer on my own. You just must the leaves. Don’t subscribe to this guy.
Very helpful！ I just propagated some of my succulents before I saw your video, i decide let them dry a few days more. By the way, how often should I water those leaves during the propagating process? Can I mist them every day if I put them outside?
in the summer during the hot heat, every day before afternoon hits, make sure the soil is moist. During the colder periods if you have it inside 2-3 days. Don't just mist it, make sure the soil itself is watered. The babies require a lot more water then the adult plants
@@ATLTRAN I believe so, just let the cutting area callous over by leaving it out for a few days (no soil or water, in a shaded area), then you can put in soil and water, it should form roots
I have wondered for years how to propagate succulents, what was I doing wrong?? Your Video showed me I just needed more patience and time. And to know what to look for, plus why I am supposed to do various steps. It makes sense to me now. Thank you
Hands down the best tutorial. So basically you can go to Home Depot, break leaves off and make your own plants! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 not that I suggest anyone doing this!
I was at HomeDepot and picked up several that I had dropped onto the floor. Even asked if they minded that I take them and they said go ahead. I have many babies!!
I absolutely love how thorough and informative your explanations and examples are, as well as your passion for them all. Thank you so much~ happy growing! 🥂
Thank you for the great information! I love you videos. I have been gardening for years and propogating roses and am completely new to cactus. But I love the look of the cactus, and as I get older I think they are easier to deal with. I learned SOOOOO much from your video. Keep up the good work!
My granddaughter and I liked this video. Can you show a video of how to set up the propagated tray before the leaves. Can you use regular potting soil.
I am excited to get started. Thank you. I live on 10 acres in sunny Australia 😜. I have a huge deck around my house and very soon there is going to be succulents everywhere lol
Got to the end of the video and realized you are a fellow Canadian! 🇨🇦 I spend half the year in Portugal Azores and everyone grows succulents here. Now I am growing some of my own and I am obsessed!🤣 Thank you for a great video!
When propagating through leaf cuttings and you set it in soil. How much are you watering the soil? Like normal or just misting the top layer? Your videos are incredible by the way. Appreciate your time and patience to produce them for us.
I'm excited to learn leaving the stem should produce leaves. I just did this with a var jade. I'm hoping it will grow leaves on the lower stem I left, cuz it didn't even try to do that when it was in soil with the longer jade leaves on top.
For the little leaves that you had on the dirt - and grew babies... once you have a good sized baby - how do you plant that? Just lay it on the dirt? Does it sort of get pushed under the dirt at all?
South Africa ..thank you very straight forward ..I gave beheaded one got 3, babies now and tried the leaves with bottle of water ..roots within a week ..now on soil hopefully will grow

"You just snap them off, like that [whack], or like that [whack], or like that [whack], or like that [whack]."
Finally, someone who actually showed ALL the steps! Thank you
I love reading comments from the plant community because everyone is soooo nice ❤️ I love this place in UA-cam
I just noticed that my Little leaf had roots, and I screamed . 😂😂😂

@@carlablaservasquez4349 hahaha. Totally forgot this post. Since a year ago, I found my an answer on my own. You just must the leaves. Don’t subscribe to this guy.
Excellent tutorial without unnecessary chit chat which I appreciate.
When to water them and how during this propagation process
Pretty sure for all succulents during Spring/summer water when soil dries out, during colder seasons, water less frequently than in warmer months
I saw in a another video where they just mist the end of the leaf that was previously attached. That guy said he mists every few days. 🤷🏽♀️
I love this guy. He really explains it step by step
When you repotted all those cut off’s you said that you watered it regularly, does that mean you watered every 2 days or once a week?
Wondering the same, thanks for the video!
How much water? Do you leave the containers uncovered? Thanks so much for this!
Very helpful！ I just propagated some of my succulents before I saw your video, i decide let them dry a few days more. By the way, how often should I water those leaves during the propagating process? Can I mist them every day if I put them outside?
in the summer during the hot heat, every day before afternoon hits, make sure the soil is moist. During the colder periods if you have it inside 2-3 days. Don't just mist it, make sure the soil itself is watered. The babies require a lot more water then the adult plants
EveryThang thank you!
This video is awesome!! Can the baby pups from the beheaded stem be removed to create more succulents??
@@ATLTRAN I believe so, just let the cutting area callous over by leaving it out for a few days (no soil or water, in a shaded area), then you can put in soil and water, it should form roots
Oh boy i feel like a new parent
I have wondered for years how to propagate succulents, what was I doing wrong?? Your Video showed me I just needed more patience and time. And to know what to look for, plus why I am supposed to do various steps. It makes sense to me now. Thank you
Hands down the best tutorial. So basically you can go to Home Depot, break leaves off and make your own plants! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 not that I suggest anyone doing this!
Makeup Mobster that’s what I did! Lol
Makeup Mobster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was at HomeDepot and picked up several that I had dropped onto the floor. Even asked if they minded that I take them and they said go ahead. I have many babies!!
As someone who works for Home Depot, I do this lmao
Omg I thought I was the only one! 😅
I absolutely love how thorough and informative your explanations and examples are, as well as your passion for them all. Thank you so much~ happy growing! 🥂
Please make a video on propagating zebra plant
Just take the lil pups , it's the only way.
I had no idea succulents were so forgiving. I have several that have totally overgrown so I will try your tips. Thank you.
Beheaded one of my succulents and the original plant died :(
The beheaded part is thriving though.
That's sad
Thank you for the great information! I love you videos. I have been gardening for years and propogating roses and am completely new to cactus. But I love the look of the cactus, and as I get older I think they are easier to deal with. I learned SOOOOO much from your video. Keep up the good work!
The cat should be wondering: why is Master talking to a wall for 17 min?
+yanyuan SHI don't worry he knows what's going on
yanyuan SHI so funny

Thank You so much for going through all the steps propagating. I liked this video a lot .
This is so cute thank you
Thanks =)
Best video on what to do AFTER propagating and once the babies are out. New subby! 🙌🏽
Great video!
Thanks!
My granddaughter and I liked this video. Can you show a video of how to set up the propagated tray before the leaves. Can you use regular potting soil.
I am excited to get started. Thank you. I live on 10 acres in sunny Australia 😜. I have a huge deck around my house and very soon there is going to be succulents everywhere lol
Got to the end of the video and realized you are a fellow Canadian! 🇨🇦 I spend half the year in Portugal Azores and everyone grows succulents here. Now I am growing some of my own and I am obsessed!🤣 Thank you for a great video!
Super helpful video. I would like specific information regarding the soil with which to propagate, please.
Me, too!
Great content. So informative. Bravo!
Thanks so much!
This was the most informative video on propagation I've ever seen! Thank you!!
This is the best step by step guide. Cheers for this.
This video was really helpful. I haven't had much luck in leaf propagating so far.....
Bought my first succulent a couple of days ago. Your video is very informational. Thank you! 😊🌻
When propagating through leaf cuttings and you set it in soil. How much are you watering the soil? Like normal or just misting the top layer?
Your videos are incredible by the way. Appreciate your time and patience to produce them for us.
Im wondering the same thing? Am I misting once a week? Or pouring so the water seeps to the bottom?
I am so glad I found this video!! I looked for days for a video to explain propagating as well as you have! Thanks!
Thanks ! Great video getting super into succulents after the purchase of my first house !
You are very knowledgeable regarding succulents. Very well explained tutorial. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm excited to learn leaving the stem should produce leaves. I just did this with a var jade. I'm hoping it will grow leaves on the lower stem I left, cuz it didn't even try to do that when it was in soil with the longer jade leaves on top.
For the little leaves that you had on the dirt - and grew babies... once you have a good sized baby - how do you plant that? Just lay it on the dirt? Does it sort of get pushed under the dirt at all?
just lay in the dirt and the plant will naturally attach to the soil by growing roots :)
Great advice and helps sort out what to do with which succulent..... I cannot wait to start propagating.....
Is it okay to get water on the leaves when spritzing the soil?
South Africa ..thank you very straight forward ..I gave beheaded one got 3, babies now and tried the leaves with bottle of water ..roots within a week ..now on soil hopefully will grow
