How to propagate succulent plants

1. Cutting propagation

1. Root cuttings: For some succulents, the roots are relatively developed, which is very conducive to reproduction. Choose a well-grown plant, cut off the roots from it, then prepare the sandy soil, insert the roots into it, maintain a certain amount of sunlight, and then new plants will grow.

2. Leaf cuttings: Leaf cuttings are more commonly used, but not suitable for all plants. Select plants with full leaves, cut off the healthy and disease-free leaves from them, and then lay them flat on the sand bed.

3. Stem cuttings: When the plant starts to grow too tall, you can cut off the stem, dry it slightly and then insert it into the sand bed.

2. Seed propagation

After they mature, harvest the seeds, dry them in the air and store them. They cannot be stored for too long, otherwise the germination rate will decrease. Wait until the spring of next year, prepare a suitable substrate, then sow the seeds and cover them with a thin layer of soil.

3. Division propagation

This method is suitable for succulents growing in clusters and can ensure the purity of the variety. When repotting in spring, break off the bulbs or tubers, then plant them in small pots, and water them once in a while to keep them moist.
