How to divide succulent plants by leaf cuttings

The division process

Tools: Shovel, tweezers, brush, small pot with soil

step:

Select healthy succulents that need to be divided.

Choose a suitable location and carefully separate the young plants growing around the mother plant. It is usually done in conjunction with repotting in spring.

Correct the position of the young plant, add soil and gently lift the young plant.

Add soil until it is 2 cm away from the mouth of the pot. (After the analysis and planting, the mother plant can also be loaded together)

Use a brush to clean the soil around the pot, and then place it in semi-shaded place for maintenance.

Division is successful, waiting for the succulent to recover

Tips for dividing plants

If division propagation is carried out in autumn, attention must be paid to the safe wintering of the divided plants.

It is best to choose strong and plump young plants for division, as they have a higher survival rate.

If the young plants have few or no roots, they can be planted in a sand bed first and then potted after they have taken root.

Variegated varieties of succulents, such as the Nightless City Variegated and the Jade Fan Variegated, must be propagated by division to maintain the purity of their varieties.
