How to breed black magic succulent

How to breed black magic succulent

1. Cutting propagation of succulent black magic master

The succulent Black Magic Master is usually propagated by cuttings during the growing season, that is, in spring and autumn. The climate at this time is relatively warm, and the cuttings can have a high yield and are easier to root. However, the temperature is high in summer, the plant will enter a dormant period, and the wounds are more likely to rot.

When the succulent Black Magic Master is being propagated by cuttings, you can use complete leaves for propagation. Before preparing for the insertion, you need to place it in a cool place for maintenance and wait for the wound to gradually dry. You also need to prepare a suitable substrate, you can use sandy soil, which needs to be disinfected before propagation and sprayed with water, and then the leaves can be inserted.

2. Propagation of Succulent Black Magic by beheading

The succulent Black Magic Master can also be propagated by beheading, but the shape may not be very beautiful, because after beheading it will look more like a dormant period, the leaves will be slightly curled up, and it will take a long time to grow before it can recover.

When propagating, you need to cut off the overgrown or weakly growing heads of the black magic plant, place them in a cool place to dry, then place them directly in the soil and cover them with appropriate scattered light so that you can wait for them to take root.
