Whenever I find a crested succulent at a box store, I twirl my mustache and look extra dastardly on the way out. Last week I found a triple crested echeveria fire glow at Home Depot, and that made me rub my hands together and laugh very villainously.
That's why I love this gardening community so much. We learn so many tricks from eachother, each using our own methods and techniques for our climate conditions😉
Thanks Stacy, it amazes us how people are asking so many questions, and so many conversations start up. Gardening communities are mostly very friendly places where people just want to learn and share.... would be good to be able to bottle that spirit....
I love this video, you really show how to do propagation instead of just talking like the other channel, thank you so much for this information lovely ♥️👍😊👩🌾
Great video! I love the pinkish blue tones in these succulents. So beautiful and elegant. I love propagating my succulents.. its so much fun and they give back so much💞 Thanks for sharing another great video with us!
Thanks Stacey, appreciate the comment, and good luck with your own, succulents, they do bring a lot of enjoyment to many people, lots of variety can be had in a small space.
Hi Johny, thanks for all the great videos. Wanted to send my respect to James Lucas, not sure I spell his name correctly. I love all his insights and tips. I have been planting succulents for around 4 years and I found he is among the best teacher or his video are the most practical and useful one for succulent planting. The only thing is I live in Malaysia, weather wise I need to adjust quite a bit because of the high humidity, heat and rainfall.
I will send the message on to James, and yes in Maylasia and other tropical to sub tropical climates you do need to adjust as you say. Good air flow is important for the humidity.
Thanks to you and James for making these videos, it’s so generous of you both to pass on your knowledge years of experience. Please may I ask, would you handle graptopetalum and sedium leaf cuttings in the same way?
This information is so helpful. I wish I could visit your nursery, but I'm a bit far away (Portland, Oregon, USA). Thank you for sharing your secrets with all of us!
Really useful, thanks. Maybe some of my failures is due to not been letting my leaf cuttings callus for long enough, especially the fleshier cvs. I usually just leave them for 3-4 days (and this is in the relatively humid UK). That said, I will have enough E. “Linda” plants to set up a shop when they get bigger. (The mother plant collapsed last autumn - damp, I suspect.) Edit: query - does this also apply to leaflets taken from the inflorescence spike? I’m trying with my E. lauii at the moment. Nothing wrong with an old kitchen knife ( or spoon in the right circs)!
I think that might be one of my mistakes I made. I thought you were only supposed to let them dry out for just 2 days, not 2/3 weeks… I’ll have to try this when I get more succulents
I’m new to this and can’t see the difference between the crest and rosette. I wish you made a few comments on the visual differences and what to look for, instead of just saying “this is one, this the other.”
Great video, thanks. When you put the leaves into growing medium - lining them up along sticks in rows - are there drainage holes in the base of container? Did you say the medium was all vermiculite or a mix?
In case anyone else is wondering: I had to look up what is meant by "winter" and "spring" in Australia. Refers to the same temperature ranges that we think of for those terms in the northern hemisphere, but the months are the opposite.
The trays with the soil that are used to grow the propagations in at 6:50, are they solid in the bottom or do they have the mesh as seen on the upside down one?
Hello Crystal, if you have the right conditions it works. This often happens when leaves get knocked off plants, in the tray, you will see some leave cuttings that have actually started to grow before they are planted.
They are so beautiful❤ last week. I was walking through my neighborhood and saw a cute lady attending to her succulent. Decided to ask her that I would love to buy a leaf just 1 leaf. Because they were so pretty. She began screaming at me. I just got teary eye, told her sorry, and walked away.
It's interesting how people react , I had the opposite experience at a plant fair just a few weeks ago. One plant left, sort of rare white flowering. I was looking at at and a lady said are you going to buy that, I was a little unsure, so said, no you take it. Saw her later at the plant fair, she came up and said, do you know these are easy to grow from cuttings. Broke me off a piece of her new plant, put it in a plastic bag, poured a little water in, tied the top and said, take it home, plant it and it will grow. And yes it is growing roots. Takes all types....
Hey, I was wondering how you would water them? It would be aggravating to have to spray the dirt around the roots of every single leaf on that tray so do you use irrigation or a giant mister or what? I also wanted to know if it is a big deal to get water on the leaves while misting?
We have a video on Crests at ua-cam.com/video/L45pj_naKso/v-deo.html which explains it best. It is basically that the leaves grow in a different formation. Crests are becoming very popular with succulent collectors. Propagation is the same from leaf cuttings, but also possible by srem cuttings, see ua-cam.com/video/li3A8UkQxNw/v-deo.html
Hello Steffa, will try to do that, do you mean Italian or English ? English will happen automatically, we can do Italian if that what you mean, just takes a while.
@@johnnyAGardening English is fine, thank you very much indeed. now it's easier for me to understand. It is a mine of important information for me. Thanks a lot 👍👍👍. I hope there will be subtitles for the previous videos as well if this is not too difficult, thanks. See you soon 👋👋
Hi there, I bought my first set of succulents, great dirt, tray etc. Question..I expected small leaves to lay out and propergate. These seem when they arrived. Well small stock...larger than expected, do I break them apart and start propergating or plant these in my shallow container then split them apart later?
Hello Jennifer, Are they Echeveria or another type? If you have just received them, and they were posted bare rooted, it may be best to get them growing properly before propagating.
I have a plant that I think is a mix with an echeveria and I am struggling to get the leaves to root. They have all produced a new plant but never any roots and soon the mother leaf would dry up and die and kill the baby plant with it. Do you have any suggestions about what I should do?
With the leaf, it needs to be removed from plant correctly. It needs to callus over before planting, just in contact with the soil and only just moist. OR no soil, no wter and leave it in a shaded but light position until roots form.
I was just a bit confused on starting the cuttings. Did you let them dry, add to the trays and then they grew? or did you start them in the trays with the bamboo, take them out and then pot them up?
You can always turn them off (see the CC button below the video lower left) OR adjust the size using the small GEAR icon next to the CC and follow the instructions, you will find a tab which allow you to adjust the font size.
I prorogated a large cactus leaf from a neighbor. It finally grew roots. I then planted it in soil. It is now deteriorating while growing long cactus leaf from the rotting leaf. What's my next step with the rotting leaf? Thank for any advice.
I live in the bloody desert and the heat is unbearable. If I leave cuttings out for two weeks like that, they will completely dry out and die. Curious how yours don’t? What’s the temperature like? Here it will be 100degrees Fahrenheit by May.
Yes, you would need to change this to suit your climate. So in your case we would not have them in sun at all, just filtered light or indoors. Also cut the callus over period back to 2- 3 days. Then use a little mist spray a few time a week. The other option, which may be better, is to try these at a cooler time of the year. How are temperatures in 1. Early spring. 2. Early autumn/fall.

By far the best leaf propagation video I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot! Thank you 🙏🏻
You should definitely see the succulent arrangements on my channel. You will like it very much.🙏❤️🌸☺️
After several months I have finally found the very best instruction. Thanks so much!
thank you so much for showing the updates inside the video, it's very inspiring to be able to see the actual results from start to end.
Thanks for the comment and thanks fro watching.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.I made a bobo by putting it on top of the soil right away. So I appreciate you sharing.It's totally amazing.
I love this video, you really show how to do propagation instead of just talking like the other channel, thank you so much for this information lovely ♥️👍😊👩🌾
Thanks for the comment, appreciate the feedback. It is good do do things in depth...
Excellent....one leaf with its water can create this is just amazing.

Video coming up on Graptopetalum and others soon. I will check with James re the propagation.
This is unvaluable. Thank you so much, wish you all the best! Greetings from Italy!
This is an amazing video showing start to finish! So informative! Thank you!
Thank Jerisann, it took a while to make, but worth the effort. I learnt a lot while making it.....
More videos with James in the propagation area, please!
This information is so helpful. I wish I could visit your nursery, but I'm a bit far away (Portland, Oregon, USA). Thank you for sharing your secrets with all of us!
Thanks for the very detailed process of propagation! You also asked great questions in the mean time
Thank you for the well illustrated, succinct information.
Great video, thank you for the necessary questions and informative answers! Those pink plants are lovely!
Great to see how it’s done commercially 👍

That's very nice propagation you done! It's nice to try this plant at home! 😊
@@merlecristino4600 Thanks for watching...
Wow thank you so much. Great great honest advice
Marvelous video James, thank you for showing us!
Can succulents be propogated from tiny leaves?
Thank you for your detailed explanation. 🙏
May the plant gods bless you
Can’t wait to try this method.
El maestro de las echevarias
Hello Johny! Could you tell me what are the potting mix for your beautiful succulents ? Thanks in advance🙏🏼
Learnt heaps from this video, Thankyou guys very much
Great to hear! We have a new Echeveria video coming up, its a simply a tour of a collection, however lots of interesting varieties.
Wow ....wonderful video
Thank you 🤗
Great video, thanks. When you put the leaves into growing medium - lining them up along sticks in rows - are there drainage holes in the base of container? Did you say the medium was all vermiculite or a mix?
Yes drainage hole. vermiculite is just the top layer.
@@johnnyAGardening Thank you.
I want Sunny’s job -that looks very a meditative process 😅
Спасибо!!! Интересно, познавательно !!! Удачи!
What kind of lighting do the cuttings get? does it even matter?
Excelente gracias por tantas informacio'n
Pero en español por favor espero una repuesta
Just moved house so about to get stuck into this now.
Fantastico💚 super video👍👍👍👍
Great video
Do you leave them out in the sun while you wait for root growth?
How cool! I have one of these plants and would love to share it. Thank you!
As long as you take the leaf from the stem properly it should be easy....Good Luck and Stay safe.
Thank you for sharing! Do you use Vermiculite in the soil mix for propagation and regular succulent soil too?
In case anyone else is wondering: I had to look up what is meant by "winter" and "spring" in Australia. Refers to the same temperature ranges that we think of for those terms in the northern hemisphere, but the months are the opposite.
so what you are saying is... winter is cold and spring is warm?
like what are you on about?
I'd love to learn about your soil! What have you got there?
Thanks for info how to propagate echeveria leaf i got how work and im also plant for deferent house plant then also propagate i guest to visit thanks
Nice James! succulents are so beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️ Hope I have this lovely colors but I'm never yet have one cause not easy to plant them for me. 😊
Cô ơi cho cháu hỏi là sau khi nhân giống từ lá, mình bỏ luôn vào chậu lớn luôn được ko ạ, ?
I have looked at the "crests / non crest and I CAN NOT see the difference. Help!
Very helpful tips 👍🏻 Thanks 👏
Glad it was helpful!
The trays with the soil that are used to grow the propagations in at 6:50, are they solid in the bottom or do they have the mesh as seen on the upside down one?
I really love your plants, what do you think of full dry propagation
Hello Crystal, if you have the right conditions it works. This often happens when leaves get knocked off plants, in the tray, you will see some leave cuttings that have actually started to grow before they are planted.

When is the best time to do the propagation to get best results ? Tks!!
Spring or Summer are the best times, the colder the climate the later in spring or early summer..
Mine are only getting small roots and not tiny plants out of them. Is that a bad sign? Should I wait before potting them?
Yes wait until you see come new growth...
Que lindo essas plantas💋💖
Parabéns, gostei muito de aprender um pouco +👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hey, I was wondering how you would water them? It would be aggravating to have to spray the dirt around the roots of every single leaf on that tray so do you use irrigation or a giant mister or what? I also wanted to know if it is a big deal to get water on the leaves while misting?
Use a medicine syringe to target water into roots
Unbelievable great job! Where did you put these leaves and what was the temperature. Because my leaves are drying out in just 3 days
Out of direct hot sun.
What soilmix do I use for the plants in the planter tray that have already established roots?
Nice video 👌👌 stay connected
good day, how you handle them deftly. beauty
Could you please tell what type of soil that is? Doesn’t that keep too much water? I was really expecting something more rocky . Thanks
What soil u used?? Pls tell me
Beautiful 🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Do you sale your succulents love watching your video
Did you have to put soil on the tray before spreading those leaves? Thankyou for sharing
Yes, a general succulent potting mix.
How are they watered?
What is the difference between crested and not? Thank you.

If you have just received them, and they were posted bare rooted, it may be best to get them growing properly before propagating.
Very inf😢! Thank you
Is there any such thing as a pink and white variegated crest?

So the plant produces small offsets or Pups ? OR are you trying leaf propagation.
@@johnnyAGardening From a leaf
With the leaf, it needs to be removed from plant correctly. It needs to callus over before planting, just in contact with the soil and only just moist. OR no soil, no wter and leave it in a shaded but light position until roots form.
@@johnnyAGardening Ok thank you so much!
Todo está perfecto quiciera que todo fuera en español si fueran tan amables gracias
Can you tell me when you are putting the leaves with new growth and roots into potting mix is the initial
mix dry or wet please.
Just a little moisture, not much at all, NOT wet
Water when against sticks?
Me gustan sus video porque no lo traduce en Español Gracias 😂😂😂
where can I get those trays?
are you growing in a green house, can you do all this outside
This is in a greenhouse, you could do this indoors, or outdoors on a protected patio ot similar. However not cold and wet.
I was just a bit confused on starting the cuttings. Did you let them dry, add to the trays and then they grew? or did you start them in the trays with the bamboo, take them out and then pot them up?
Yes, let them callus over for around 5 - 8 days before adding to the trays.
subtitles are covering your demonstration
You can always turn them off (see the CC button below the video lower left) OR adjust the size using the small GEAR icon next to the CC and follow the instructions, you will find a tab which allow you to adjust the font size.
What trays do you use to propagate?
Pleas I wsnt succulents how I can contacked with you❤
请问这些在哪里？有卖吗？
I prorogated a large cactus leaf from a neighbor. It finally grew roots. I then planted it in soil. It is now deteriorating while growing long cactus leaf from the rotting leaf. What's my next step with the rotting leaf? Thank for any advice.
Just wait until it pulls away very easily or dies right off. If the new leaf has roots then the old one will be ready to remove.
❤️
What about soil mix
I live in the bloody desert and the heat is unbearable. If I leave cuttings out for two weeks like that, they will completely dry out and die. Curious how yours don’t? What’s the temperature like? Here it will be 100degrees Fahrenheit by May.

Depends on the climate, however, light shade.

Do you leave them to dry in the dark or do you leave them in the light thank you.
Light shade, just not really hot direct sun.
