Do you water them like a normal succulent?
Once the soil dries out almost completely, I mist over the soil till it’s fairly damp. Hope this helps!
NO! These are like desert plants. They grow much better with minimal water, well drained pot. I water once per month, let the pot drain well. I use cactus mix. Feed with a fertilizer made for succulents. These plants will grow to seek water. I do occasionally mist them but that isn’t necessary. Put in bright indirect light. I have so many right now that I’ll be selling some in a garage sale. Lol.
You always want to keep the soil damp! Depending on the humidity/ heat where they are growing you will most likely end up *misting* the soil every 2-3 days. also remember to use a well draining pot!
Never successfully 🤔😳😢🥲
@@passionforplants3242 Do you mist the plant too ? I usually bottom water all my plants but this wouldn't work since there aren't roots. I bought a little squirt bottle I was just going to wet the soil around it that way.
Finally a video that shows what to do with the original leaf! All the other videos I watched they just *magically* disappear lol
It’s actually way better to leave it on until it dries up and falls off on its own. The baby will grow much faster, since the original leaf is a better source of nutrients than the soil.
😂😂😂😂😂 like hellooo I’m a beginner
Same!
I love your confidence, just yanking leaves off like 'no biggie,' I'm afraid if I just look at them funny they'll die. 😂 Very informative, beautiful centerpiece. Thank you!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i feel ya 🤣
And it is confidence for anything 😊👍
There like impossible to kill I didn’t water mine for a year and then cut some bits of and re planted it. Now it’s massive
My problem was over watering. But if you can get past that, they're really hard to kill.
I’m so glad you mentioned that you can just drop them in soil without letting them callous first. Succulents are meant to reproduce, so they drop leaves to survive and re-propagate themselves! I’ve never had to let them callous! Also, I never leave them on their side like you shows I literally just take a leaf and put in in the dirt and it becomes a whole new plant! I have copious succulents by doing this method. It’s very hard to mess up a succulent propagation!
Out here in California, all we do is just drop succulent leaves in areas where we want them to grow and they grow! We never worry about the soil or fussing over the water or light. They are resilient plants and humans make it too complicated! I’ve tested this out by planting the succulent leaves in various kinds of dirt/terrain and then I come back to check on them a month or so later, and they were alive and growing! No need to be so fussy! Just let them do their thing!
That's good to read. I've been studying how tos and what kind of soil, trays I need to start the broken leaves etc. It's nice to know I can just drop them and let nature do it's thing. Thank you
if i just drop a leaf on the soil it just gets dry and dies.
I agree, this is the only site that tells you clearly how to take care of your succulents 👏
I have been taught that it is important to leave the orig leaf on, because the baby plant gets it’s nutrients from the original leaf. In time, that original leaf will wither, and will detach itself, when the baby doesn’t need it anymore, and is mature enough to get it’s nutrients from its own roots that by then, have grown into the soil.
at the very least it will grow much faster with the leaf connected... once it has its own new small leafs and roots and can grow on its own, but will be much slower without the mother leaf feeding it...
If it has roots it can get moisture/nutrition from the soil, but like anything if you don't NEED to remove it, don't.
People cut off leaves from plants when trying to get a desired effect, or some less-informed folks will advocate trimming leaves because they're "unnecessary" and don't like how they look, but in reality any healthy leaf is generating energy for the plant.
That makes perfect sense.
You should also not take cuttings from a plant that's flowering, or touch the top of the echeveria leaf because it'll wipe off all of the farina
@@jessicastockstill6338 How can you wiggle them off without touching the top?
i love heading to lowe’s and taking the already fallen leaves!
😂😮
Not taking: it's saving or liberating, if you will 😅
Mom said I can only buy one succulent. So I am going to try to grow my own 🙃 she didn't say anything about that
Go for it! Always a fan of finding a loophole
Good stategy
how's it going with the propagation
@Random Acts of Hughes how you gotten started yet?!
Awesome!! Trying to find ways to save money on buying more plants is smart and your mom should be proud!! Besides that, learning how to growing anything is how a plant lover is born!!! And maybe even someone who will have greenhouses full of plants!! Besides without plant life there is NO oxygen!!! Come on Mom,,be proud!!! You have a pretty smart daughter!!!
Interesting. You're the only video that don't let the leaves callous out. Saves me 3-5 days of waiting! Thanks for the tutorial!
I only waited overnight...(I did it before I watched this video).
Me too , i just leave it to dry out for a couple hour before planting it
Agreed!
U can set them right on soil and they’ll be fine
How much soil and like in sunlight or where I just did some this week
Ok, I laughed at the gigantic water sprayer. It's almost taller than you in the video! Too funny. (But hey, it works!)
This was probably the best, most simple, and most direct video of planting succulents I've seen. I'm glad you mentioned this is what works for you. I have killed so many succulents. I can grow lots of outdoor plants, but I've had a hard time with these. I have a grocery store that marks healthy small succulents down all the time because they get new shipments. Forces them out. So there are a lot of deals to take advantage of. I hope to do better now that I've watched your video. Thank you.
Thank you. Yours is the only site that explains clearly how to take care of your succulents.
❤🎉
That arrangement is gorgeous! Great video, it really helped me troubleshoot when I wasn't seeing any results with props. After watching this and following your advice, I've had way more success!
Your arrangements are goalssss. Right now mine are growing hella crazy but I haven't arranged them ever.
I already know how to do it,I'm here just cause I love watching succulent babies become mature plants.
I didn't know that this was actually possible!! One of my echeveria's lost a leaf today and I was so sad about it and thought I was doing something wrong so I did some research and found this video here!! Now I'm just really excited and will try to propagate with the leaf!! I'm so happy that I don't have to throw out the leafs!! It just feels weird to me to throw aways something from my plants.
When the leaves fall, it's the most fun!
Did it work?? I rlly hope it did!
How’s it going?
Any update?
Thank you so much. About 7 leaves fell from my plant from over watering . I was almost in tears until seeing this now I will have 7 new plants !! Yea!
Do they grow in new plants?
Great video, straight to the point without all the annoying fillers that other videos have.
Thanks for going over how to actually plant the growth from the leaf. Not many videos online show that. Thank you!
the big planted pot that you are pulling the leaves from is sooo beautiful
Omg your succulent bouquet is beautiful. I’m a new plant mom and I have sedum glow succulent that I’ve been learning about.
Thank you!! I’ve watched 5 or six videos for the whole process, and you nailed it! Much appreciated. 🌈♥️🙏
Thank you so much!
Agreeeeed I might even subscribe 🥰♥️🤙
Thank you so much, I've been trying to propagate succulents for a long time. I now realize why. I had not been letting the leaves touch the soil at the tips. I realize why I was only getting the roots 🙂 the way you zoomed in to demonstrate how to propagate them was awesome. Thank you🤗.
Not all start this way. I've been doing this for three years now. Some start real good others don't. It's fun to see which ones do. I get tired of waiting sometimes.
All the books i checked out at the library on succulents say to have them callus over, but you and my husband say that it works if you just plant them without waiting. I will definitely try this.
Thank you for such a clear instruction video. I followed how you showed to do it and had 100% luck, lots of new plants (one even bloomed).😄😸
Thank you! I finally now know how to properly grow mines. I had no clue how to get it to look so gorgeous.
This video was so helpful! I’m not good at keeping plants alive and I’ve been trying because I love having succulents and I had noticed a couple leaves had fallen off but they were still alive. So thank you for this helpful video!!
Would love to see a video on how you out the centerpiece together; it's gorgeous!
Same!!!
I'm glad I watched your video first before doing anything with my succulent. I was about to repot it. I didn't think of propagating it, but now I will after watching your video. Thank you
I tried to propagate my succulent leaves twice and watched yt videos of ppl saying to let it Calais for 2-3 days don’t do that I did it and twice my succulent leaves rotten so I’m happy that I found this video helped me and I can’t wait to see my new succulent to grow babies
I never really thought much of succulents just recently i grew fond of em. Theres so many pretty varieties Love this tip! Thank u
Oh boy. Can't wait. I love to walk thru garden dept at Walmart & just pick up all the pieces I see that have fallen off. When I lived in Florida I had no problem w them propagating. Now that I'm in way upstate NY...it may be a little trickier. We'll see!!!
I love those little baby flowers coming through the leaves, adorable 🥰
You have such light and sweet energy. Loved the video. Others keep saying "must!" You are flexible and helping us realize try and see!
Thanks Lauren. So nice to hear that. Gardening is all about figuring out what works for you! ☺️
Most honest video I’ve ever watched. Very calming also 😊
People may claim this is fake NOPE just be careful taking the leaves off and it works 🙂
I have a ton going myself at the moment
Also if they get “leggy” or stretched out cut them down pull the leaves and continuing watering the stem it will grow new leaf bunches and become bushy
For the tops pull the leaves off so there’s about half an inch to an inch of stem, let it callus then plant it and the top part will also root (if given the right conditions) 😁
I also tried this with my leggy propagations and it’s surprisingly working not only is the residual stem (which I left a few leaf nodes on) is growing new leaves the tops rooted along with the leaves rooting and growing into baby plants 🙂
I’d post pictures if I could
Your plants are so beautiful and colorful. I am propagating leaves from a jade plant. So much fun.
This is the only video I found that actually explains how to pull the original leaf off. Thanks!!
I'm new to your channel, and looked up how to propagate, I have different families of succulents, and you made this propagation easy to do ! Thank you for the instructions 🙏 ☺️!
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Great video, I love how you explain every detail especially for us beginners. Thank you!💐
When I pull a succulent leaf off of a plant I put it in a little jar of water and after a few weeks it grows a bunch of roots and little buds. I’ve been way more successful with faster results that way :) I always love seeing how others do it too
Do you cover yours at all :) ? Thanks !
@@joellehale7046 cover them how?
I either put them on top of soil or I put them in water. I can make a video on it tomorrow or something :)
I just propagated 9...... I'm so excited!!!
I am so in love with these natural beauties… I am going to try it …I have a few that I bought and they seem to be doing well .🥰🥰🥰thank you
That pot display is so amazing
The arrangement are nearly as beautiful as the presenter....so beautiful
Oh my!! Never knew it was this easy to plant them!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of succulents with us! You answered all of questions 😊
Instead of wiggling the leaves into the soil until the node touches, you can choose a smaller tray and prop the leaves up onto the rim. Works well, too, and you don't accidentally squish the leaves.
This is a really helpful tutorial! Thank you for making this!
I never let mine callous either, just directly to soil.
Very thorough video!
i love your succulent arrangement, it looks like a bouquet 😍
Thankyou Hannah, great video very helpful🍀☘😉
Ok love you centrepiece. I have made about 7. I’m always looking around the house to see what I can use. Pots are so expensive. Thanks again.👌👌
Great vid, thanks for sharing. They are beautiful low maintenance plants!!! Cheers from Alberta- Canada!
I’m a novice and propagate some succulents in water and yay they have roots so I need to get them into soil. I had a whole lot of petals as well just sitting on the soil and didn’t see much luck so o just chuckled them into pots and hoping! I’ve got some also potted but they need repotting I think 🤔 it’s trial and error. I like your way of propagating so will try your way. Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Thanks very much for your very informative video. I would not have thought about wiggling the lower leaves off. Am away to try it now!
I appreciate that you are organized and to the point. Thanks.
Beautiful video! Cleared my doubts instantly. Also, you look/sound like Anne Hathaway 😊
I actually think by not pushing it into the dirt but leaving it adjacent, does make the leaf dry out. I use the same exact method and you can notice when they dry out over time. Thanks for video!
We wnt to Lowes today and my husband didn't let me stay long... he said WE CAME FOR DIRT..FOCUS.. GET THE DURT AND LETTTS GOOOOO... so sad.. got my dirt and 2 clearance dollar plants..I tried
I like your plant pot so.full.of different pretty plants❤
She has such a wonderful way about her🎉
I need that centerpiece arrangement 😍😍
Your succulents are very beautiful.they looks soo juice and awesome.
Gorgeous.....the plants are nice too ....possibly, no definitely the most beautiful hands on You Tube.
It is interesting to see methods that seem to defy most of the advice given on leaf propagation.
This is the second comment I've seen from you about her looks. She's young enough to be your daughter judging from your photo. Please consider she may not want pervy comments from complete strangers old enough to be her dad. Nor do most other women. Have a little more respect for women please.
The first one you repotted was absolutely adorable
What a beautiful kitchen!
I went to the lowes across the street from me and got some good stuff thanks
Beautiful video with beautiful plants presented by a beautiful lady :)
1st timer here and I have them in a plastic clear Tupperware with a lid. Should I cover them with the lid? Or without?
I get better success with slightly tilting the leaf up and pushing a little dirt around that bottom edge. All mine have more than 1 baby on them. Now what? Will both have separate roots? Like will I be able to pull them apart? Also, one leaf like I said has 2 babies on it. Well this one the leaf did it's job and died off but I didn't separate them
Thankyou for this!!!
I'm going to try and raise my own succulent from a baby🤣 hope it goes well, I am very new to this..I just realised I should look this stuff up instead of just going at it, which is probably why my plants usually died! Hoping to turn a new leaf, lol.☺️
I really enjoyed your video I like your gentle approach with plants and I enjoy succulents thank you for the tips
Thank you and you’re welcome!
Those succulents are beautiful Just LIKE YOU😍 Nice Vids!
I'm just getting started with succulents, this video has been so helpful!! I have a question, guessing the answer is no since you didn't do it but instead of pulling the leaf off the new succulent can you cut it off or will that somehow damage the new one?
I am soo happy I found your video.. love how you fully explain everything❤
I love this! Totally learned what I'm doing wrong! Thank you and I kove your channel. New subscriber and looking forward to learning more! Plants are my happy place!
Thank you so much! I will try to place the leaves the way as you suggested! I hope to propagate some of my moonstone which is one of my favorites!
😃🎉 Excellent
I subscribed to your channel 🙏
So when you lay the cuttings on top of the soil to start rooting, do we spray them and the soil periodically, or no? You have wonderful results!! Beautiful!
These plants just never die
Gorgeous arrangement!
Muchas gracias por compartir tu conocimiento de propagación por hoja
Exelente video 🤔👍✌️
Your arrangement is beautiful! Thanks for the tips. Anne
Thank you so much! I tried this today so I’ll be back with an update. And I’m sure someone’s asked but there are a lot of comments to scroll thru; do you give these leaves ample sunlight? I placed mine in a windowsill.
Thank you for easy and informative presentation!! 💫🌸🌵
My poor cactus got sick so I'm attempting to propagate with the healthy parts. This video is extremely helpful thank you! Also noticing we started our channels on the same exact day...small world!
Very nice video thank you.
Good call on the sprayer
I love this video! Best propagation video I have found this far.
This was extremely helpful and thorough!!!! Thank you so much! you explained some of the little details that other videos didn't :,)
Thank you very much for showing how to do that I need to try😁👍💕
Thank you. Answered all my questions instead of y usual hit & miss.
Thank you so much I tried putting the leaves in water but it didn't work because I saw it on a different video but I'll try this and hopefully it'll work! Again thanks!
Thanks for this video. Can you bottom water the succulents or is it better to top water to avoid getting the soil to wet as in you would have more control of the watering from the top
Got 6 jade plant leafs laying in dirt right now.. can’t wait to see if they propagate 😄
All my questions were answered here, so thanks a bunch. 💐
can you name the plants that you have in the arrangement? I really love the way you designed it. I went out to the thrift store and bought some bowls to put mine in
Thank you for staying on point ♡ learned so much from this video
