I don’t know why so many succulent videos have people saying to leave the succulent leaf out on the side. I always take the leaf and put it directly in the ground and it makes a new plant. When you have enough succulents like I do, I don’t bother with leaves, and I just cut a stem and put it in the ground. I live in Southern California, so maybe terrain allows for this method better, but succulents don’t need to be fussed over. I’ve grown new succulents in all kinds of soil: new soil, palm plant soil, sand, etc and they ALWAYS grow
I just started propagating succulent leaves a month ago and am seeing success! YAY! Thanks to your very helpful videos, I am learning alot. Youre an excellent instructor! Many thanks, from Texas!! 😊
Those ghost plants don’t only stretch because of the light, they are a naturally trailing plant. They naturally grow along the ground to spread. There are other types that stay in a rosette form and more compact, but this type will always want to trail and spill over containers. FYI!
I was going to say this!! That is a feature that I actually like about them and they look amazing on shelves, that is why I chose them. Depriving them of light a little bit can give them such a gorgeous colour too, a little more cool toned purple-ish. Plenty of sun makes them blush! 🥰
@@germanshepherddogs echeveria like to trail? As far as I've ever heard, echeveria are known for their compact rosette shape. May I ask which species you're referring to? Maybe it'll refresh my memory. 🤔🙂
The first one you planted with the top of the leaves; I did the same and didn’t see results until 6 months later! So don’t give up people! I sprayed with water lightly every now and then and watered about 2 a month. As long as it’s not dried out keep caring for it! Now the second method with just the “stem” of the plant I just tried last night thanks to this video! I’ll try to update as well
Thx for the info I started some from leaves about 2 months ago & they just now started to sprout a baby. I've had them inside near the window, I just placed them on my porch to see if it helps any.
I just started adding succulents to my fairly new plant addiction, and I had no idea that this ghost succulent could propagate like this! Great video, thank you for the succulent lesson!
Hi. Very helpful. I like that you do close ups of the plants instead of your face and body like some other videos which makes it hard to see the plants! Also your voice is very pleasant to listen to. Thank you!
This is great. Thank you for explaining every detail of the succulents. I live in Texas too and I didn’t know how I’m going to keep these beautiful plants alive. Step by step that’s what I liked. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video!! It was so helpful for me. My ghost plant got so big with so many branches over the year that it toppled over yesterday and I was DEVASTATED thinking that there was nothing I could do. I’m so happy to know that I can now plant so many more 😍
So so happy I found a succulent lover that lives in the same state! It’s easier to gauge what I can and can’t do myself!! 💖 Edit: your pots are so cute!!
Thank you very much for such informative video! While shopping for succulents, I found one stem on the floor. Decided to give him a chance for life, rather than be swept to the garbage. But I had know idea what to do with this poor dude. I just stack him in the pot. Now I see, that instead of leaving him too leggy, I can chop the plant in half, and most importantly I can save the other part as well. This fact really surprised me.
I have one succulent that I've been nurturing for over two years. I am emotionally attached to this little plant. I've named him Cadbury. Lol I need to do this for him, but I am TERRIFIED of hurting him and possibly killing him. I would be devastated if I lost him. I know it's a plant but he's the first plant I've ever gotten to live and he's been with me through a lot. The emotional attachment is real.
The local plant shop gave me a ghost plant that is extremely leggy today. I told them that I would save it. Thanks to your video, now I know how! Thank you so much!
I really love how thorough you are about the propagation info. There are many good videos on succulents, but they often leave out something like callusing, or watering, etc. Your succulent videos are my favorites!
Wow! Thank you so much for your inspiring and captivating video. I recently started gardening and your video is very helpful to novices like me. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Ismat Jahan, 1. Keep plants in indirect sunlight (next to a window which gets lots of sun) 2. Put them on dry soil 3. DO NOT MIST until you have roots. Hope this helps 😊
@@lucyvlogs751 ive been spraying mine since the day i put them on the soil, only 2 have had rot but one was cos it was really bruised and other leaves just dont do anything and just die, but all the others have made roots and leaves, i spray thoroughly daily
4:51 it does matter because inside a plant there is a sense of up and down. I think it’s a gradient of growth hormone so the plant does indeed know where the roots and where the leaves belong
Very informative video. Im a beginner in growing succulents and this video gave me more information o how to propagate succulents. Thank you so much for sharing.
I just today ran across your video and I have learned more in this one video of yours than I ever have from anyone, any book or any other videos I've watched! Thank you gratefully!! I am now subscribed for sure. 👏💜
Those succulents(graptopelatum parangueyensis) are the fastest propagating succulents I’ve ever had. I propped a leaf in April and it’s already branching
Mind blowing...one thing let me clear for Echiveria pulvinita stem cutting propagation I have to remove all leaves from the stem and don't need water if the soil mixture is moist .....but should the cutting grow pot should be kept in full sun whole day always ? Please let me know I m from india and now here extreme dry weather with 35'centrigate temperature high in day time and at night around 18-19'Centrigate temperature. Thank you.👍
Excellent video! Thanks so much for showing what to do with the stem. All the other videos do not show anything. They talk way too much. Your cuttings, everything is beautiful. I can’t wait to start. I just got a gift of succulents and she let it grow, etiolate. Lol. I don’t think she knew what to do with them. But they are beautiful. Thank you again for this video. 👍🏼New subscriber here.🥰
So once your little leaves get the new growth like the ones you showed on the ground then what would I do with them I see more leaves that will keep growing out the end but how do you pot those leaves that are staring a new plant?
My kid plucked all the leaves off my ghost plant. Can I just leave the stem in the dirt? He even beheaded it but it did callous over on the top. Can it be saved by just leaving it alone
Very informative video. London temperature in day is 10 and night 4 deg Can I leave the propagated succulents outdoor or do I have to keep it inside Thank you
Nicely presented: good diction and information . With the leaf cuttings, was the the soil damp , dry or moist? Did you keep the leaf cuttings damp by spaying? 🇬🇧 Thanks for saying SOIL and not DIRT as so many of your countrymen do.
Most instructions say to dry out cuttings and leaves, but is there any harm or benefit to plant them straight into a pot? I was given a whole bunch from a friend and didn’t let them all dry. Some I planted the same day. I’m crossing my fingers now..... 😧
I wish I could show you mine so you can tell me if I should do exactly what your doing. I got mine at a yard sale not long ago and it's massively stretched. Along with another stretched one
How do you propagate The Flap Jack? I tried leaves , no luck, Please Help. Yeh...I did the cutting and dried for few days and I forgot about which is top which bottom ... Newcastle AU
Awesome video! I've lost all the leaves on an overwatered succulent (I gave it too much love in the form of water 😭), and have been looking for ways to save it! The roots are a bit rotted but the stem is fine, so I will try this stem propagation method to save it. Thank you for also showing the progress, it is very helpful!
So you don’t put succulents in water and wait for roots like say, a pothos? I broke a piece off of the mother succulent plant by accident. Just stick that in soil and it’ll grow okay?
I'm gonna be honest. I don't know how to feel. Ppl making like 20 plants from one like "look, this easy" and I'm over here struggling to keep one alive. 😭🤣 I have a kalanchoe though. I'm so sad it's barely alive. I'm getting that ghost cactus. If I can't keep that alive, I give up. Lol.
But if u snip off your succulent that was too stretched , can you leave the stem still connected to the roots inside the pot and will that stem grow ?? Or do i have to snip it completely off the roots and regrow it ?
Do you leave the leaves on their sides in the soil and let them root and grow, or what? Thanks so much. I’ve been wanting to know how to do this for a while now! Oh my gosh this is so helpful.
I had a leaf that got lost and hidden underneath our bench on our balcony with no sunlight or water! I found it today and it had cute little buds growing on it and roots!!!
I messed up my succulent so badly because it got sunburnt- which I didn’t expect because I live in a colder place that’s not that sunny. And the roots were rotting from overwatering. I’m trying to save it. But I think it’s too far gone
@@ShannonQueen50 Probably!! I grew up in CA and specifically remember learning (as a young adult) that things *don't just basically grow* without work. lol I was like wait- I know for a fact that no one in my family did ANY kind of maintenance for our strawberries, enormous aloe, etc. Now I'm practically throwing a party when something didn't die during an especially deathray-esq day 🤪 Good succ vibes to you!
I’m jealous too and I live in North Carolina where it’s almost always sunny! It’s gone down into the 20s the last few nights so I’m running around trying to keep my plants alive! I didn’t realize that some succulents were actually fairly cold hardy until I saw this video. I am a new subscriber and will be watching all of your videos. Thank you!
I'm going to try this ghost plant.. its so pretty! I think it will thrive in my front porch pot that gets direct sunlight. Right now its cold.. In Michigan ..any suggestions??
I'm trying to propagate a red pagoda. There's a portion of it at the bottom that is almost directly on the soil. I was planning on cutting that and repotting it. If I heard you correctly I should let it dry for a minimal of 30 minutes first, correct?

@@samanthacoleman4789 Panda plant generally seems to stay upright in its pot. But echeveria like this ghost plant likes to trail a bit over the edges.

This is funny, I clicked on the video then heard your voice and realized it's my favorite pepper guy.
This was super helpful! I'm on a mission to be good at propagating! I've failed miserably a few times but I am determined to get me some roots!
same!
Meeee tooooo!
Your voice is so relaxing and kind! Thanks for all the great info! You def have a way with succulents!

If u live n a dry place then mist them but if its kinda wet then don't.

This was 5 years ago. Are you still doing these videos? I hope so because I am learning a lot from you and enjoy listening to you.
Cutting/ propagating plants is soooooo satisfying
You did a wonderful job with your propagating succulents. Your planter pot is very nice.
Great Informant video. One of the best for me. Also I enjoy listening to your soft voice. Thank You......
I've really enjoyed your videos. I'm so glad I stumbled upon one of your videos a few weeks back. Now I'm hooked.
this is the most helpful succulent propagation video that i've watched!! thank you for this!!
4:51 it does matter because inside a plant there is a sense of up and down. I think it’s a gradient of growth hormone so the plant does indeed know where the roots and where the leaves belong

Very informative video. Im a beginner in growing succulents and this video gave me more information o how to propagate succulents. Thank you so much for sharing.
Have you ever sold them? You have so many. I’m interested in having some shipped to me
Thank you, this was very helpful for me. I qlready took many leaves off. Getting ready to cut a stem.
Your ghost plant cuttings look great in the bluish pot with rust on the rim. Thanks for showing us so many different scenarios.
Wow exactly what i was looking for after a long long search on the internet FINALLYYY
Thanks man!
Do I use dry cactus soil or wet it?
you have to keep the soil moistened in order for them to grow.
Thanks for all the hints on propagation.
I agree. A very simple and to the point video on propagation. Kudos to you. Now I know. 👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful echeveria, nice information, stay connected friend
Very new at this and so far most helpful video. Thank you.

This video was very informative compared to other propagating videos that I've seen.
I am switching from pepper to succulent, so glad to find videos of you on succulent 😊
Hi Leah!!!!!!!!
In the philippines we air dry cuttings for 5-7 days, sometimes weeks because of the humidity

That blue pot is gorgeous! :) Nice video!

Tell me how it goes. Cause Im wondering that too
I came in to watch because that blue flower pot is identical to the one I have for my Venus flytrap. 😁
I have a rat tail cactus in the blue pot. Lol
Venus flytrap!? wow!
Seriously I also came to watch just because I love the look of the blue flower pot lol 😂
do you water right after you plant the stems? Also, I have the root grow powder. With that, do you water right away?
I want to know this as well. I’m wondering if you water them right after you plant the stems in the soil!
I wish I could show you mine so you can tell me if I should do exactly what your doing. I got mine at a yard sale not long ago and it's massively stretched. Along with another stretched one

You can cut the stem down a little, provide them with good light and good soil and they will grow new shoots.

But if u snip off your succulent that was too stretched , can you leave the stem still connected to the roots inside the pot and will that stem grow ?? Or do i have to snip it completely off the roots and regrow it ?
I am guessing that the pot has a hole as you have a saucer, however I do not know if you specified that.
Thanks. Can I do this with jade stems I’d remove the original roots 1st ?
I'm over the moon just watching how beautiful you propagate your succulents from leaves
When do you water the stems after you've replanted them? Do you use dry or moist soil?
I have this same question 🥲
Wow so nice lucky you but mine turn leaves yellow n only 2 leaves small left
Very informative, Can't wait to start propagating my succulents now :)
I have that same pot, and it doesn't drain at all, even though it has a drain hole...
Ugh I don't understand why yours grows SO much better than mine 😭
What about a broken Succulent leaf? Could it be propagated by using rooting powder?
Fabulous.Very informative.Thank you
Do you leave the leaves on their sides in the soil and let them root and grow, or what?
Thanks so much. I’ve been wanting to know how to do this for a while now! Oh my gosh this is so helpful.
Just put the leaves on top of soil facing up. It really doesn't matter if they face down, but they will grow better facing up.
lovely video thanks
Hi the plant which it was originally cut from, will that piece continue to grow?
Nice video...are the new growth from leaves exposed to direct sunlight?
I had a leaf that got lost and hidden underneath our bench on our balcony with no sunlight or water! I found it today and it had cute little buds growing on it and roots!!!
Terrific! Thanks for all the pointers!

What soil mix do you use to grow the leaves in? Mine just set there.
Very useful video...thanks
