In your wedding bouquet !? Omg - I’m getting married October 2, 2021- thank you for this idea! I’m totally going to do this. Do you have a video of when you put it all together for the wedding? I would love to see- I bet it looked beautiful. ❤️
I'm so glad I found your channel! Your advice has helped me with my propogation efforts. I have a Echeveria(Perle von Nurnberg) that is very pretty I bought from a local nursery here in Lake Charles, LA. I potted it from the original nursery grower's pot(the plastic ones that are sort of shaped like a cube, but slightly longer for the roots) into a slightly larger terra cotta pot about 4" in width. First thing I did was water it...too much apparently b/c it dropped a few petals. Knowing that propogation was possible, I used the oppurtunity to propogate. I laid them on the soil of a potted Stretizia reginae(orange Bird of Paradise) and waited. It's been nearly 2 weeks and they're starting to grow tiny pink roots. I will move them to larger pots when the roots are a little longer. Your videos are fun to watch as you teach.
Yay! You're a certified plant lover! The last part was nerve-wracking! I have similar baby succulents that should be separated. Through your tutorial, I now know how to deal that tricky part. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Wishing you a blissful marriage!
Hey I use the lid of a bath & body works candle for my plant stuff too! Thank you for this video, after a year of mostly aroids I’ve ventured into propagating succulents
This video brings me a lot of closure! I bought my girlfriend one of these years ago. She put it outside while we did spring cleaning/repainting and a squirrel got into the dirt and destroyed it. A few leaves were scattered in the pot. Eventually, to our surprise, the leaves grew babies. Then the babies died off. Now I know that the parent leaf not falling off may have been the culprit here.
ahh thank you very much for showing how to separate the two lil ones! Some of mine are growing like this too and I wondered if its a good idea to seperate them, but wasnt sure how. Thank you for showing this, I´m gonna try it out.
I love this video! Of course I love to see these little baby plants coming out of leaves. Every time I go to Lowe's or Home Depot or Walmart or any place that has a succulent I always picked up the poor little leaves that are falling off onto the floor or the shelf and put them in a tissue and bring them home I just started to do this lately because I noticed some of the little leaves had a root coming out of them and we're struggling to survive on the bare Shelf and others have even started to grow a little plant. But even if those leaves didn't show a roots or a little baby plants starting I still pick them I usually show what I've done just someone that's working in the store I don't want them to think I'm stealing things. In fact something broke off of a succulent I was buying and the lady was going to throw the leaf in the trash and I said oh no no it might grow a baby plant she said oh I didn't know that. Home Depot got some huge baskets of succulents in and they were supposed to be $30 and they reduce them tonight teen they're packed full of succulents and I count it all the plants in there and I think there were over 10 different kinds of succulents so that was about $2 for each kind and it's in a huge Coco wire mesh basket. I wasn't going to buy one but I notice it had a string of Hearts growing on it. But it has rained and the lady that was watering I don't think she knows much about plants and she overwatered these plants lined with plastic and these wire mesh cocoa fiber hanging baskets so they weren't draining. It was still soaking wet two days later so I decided to take the succulents out and they were very well rooted but the soil was still soft and wet and I was afraid they were going to rot. So I lifted each individual plan out and I'm allowing each plant to dry out and then I'll replant the basket hopefully. So if you have a Home Depot near you I live in Maryland maybe you can find one of these baskets of succulent on sale it even had a spider plant growing in it. Reason I knew the succulents we're not going to do well as I watch a lady named Maria and her TH-cam channel is Maria's Garden she lives in Punta Gorda Florida Ann Groves all her own succulents at her succulent Nursery. She takes cuttings from all of her succulents what's the in potting soil and then leaves and only gives them a Sprinkle for the first couple weeks so that they don't rot they just grow roots like those little leaves for a little plants we don't water them we just let them go succulent Nursery
Haha, I always wanted to be a surgeon. In most cases I do find that to be the case, usually they fall off on their own. But with this particular succulent, I have never had the leaf fall off. I have done this to other ones too if they stop doing anything. Hope that helps
You certainly can. I only do this when they stall out and haven't grown for a couple months. These babies are all now bigger and growing again. You could honestly remove roots and they would still be fine.
Ruthie's Succulent Obsession I only did this with ones that really stopped growing and I needed to kick start them again. I wouldn’t recommend it as the main way to propagate
In general, if you think that your succulent "stopped growing" it's probably because it got big enough to where the growth rate it has been previously sustaining doesn't look like much in relation to the size of the plant, so even though it's growing you aren't actually noticing it. A quarter centimeter of growth over the span of a week looks like a lot if your sprouted succulent is only a few millimeters tall and wide, but when your succulent is an inch tall and wide a quarter centimeter of growth is unnoticeable.
This video is so helpful! I’m started my own mini garden and my little babies have been doing the same thing! I saw how you used the bath and body works candle top as a tray and that is so much! I’ve been using plates 😂 definitely going to try the tops! ☺️
Can you explain why you cut it when you were gonna just pluck the leaf off anyway? Seems easier to just leave the leaf so you have more to grab when you pluck it off
This is a very interesting video, thanks! I am new to this and have only just started to attempt to propagate my succulents. I am trying to learn all I can. I love all the different colors of these succulents and they just look cool.
I have watched this a couple of times 🇬🇧 and two questions come to mind : 1) How did the wedding go ? 2) why could one not just cut the mother leaf off instead of breaking / pinching it off ?
I did this to mine and it hasn't grown since. It's been 4 months. However I think I did this too early - it didn't have a proper root system so I think it was still getting nutrients and energy from the mother leaf. I'll keep an eye on it but I've started 3 more propagations in case one or more fail again
Hooris never hurts to always have ones propagating in my opinion 🙃 but I feel you. This method is for when your succulents stall and I use it as a last ditch effort. If they haven’t done anything and are drying out, try water propagation. I personally don’t like it as normal propagation, but I use it as a last effort if nothing is happening on its own and the succulent is going to die soon. Hope this helps!
Also I've been watching TH-cam for a couple years now and love the plant videos. I've learned a lot from these videos and decided maybe I could share some of the things that I found out on a TH-cam channel. So I started a TH-cam channel but can't figure out how to change the name just something to do with plants so mine's just plain old Kathleen Murphy and if you also put the word coleus or orchids in your search engine on TH-cam you'll find me. I have succulents but I haven't made a video of them yet I have house plants I have gardenia trees I have Tropicals things like alocasia and colocasia and I especially have phalaenopsis orchids. I've become addicted to them since November they always died before but now I know how to keep them alive and thriving. It's thanks to a lady in Canada whose name is Caroline and her husband's name is Jack. They decided to name their site by combining their name so it's Jacqueline's orchids only Jacqueline is spelled as in j a c o l y n s orchids. She made me brave enough to go buy a couple orchids I know I could keep them alive but I've become addicted to the orchids and I tell her it's all because of you and it's her fault that I bought probably 40 orchids now. I also watch Rick on Rick's orchids and he taught me the nitty gritty of how various nutrients work to help an orchid grow new leaves new spikes new. He has experience growing plants using Hydroponics! He is a wonderful person and if you have any questions about your orchids no matter how many questions he has he always answers them. He has Parkinson's and his wife went to nursing school so she would know how to take care of them. He has all kinds of orchids and is very knowledgeable and has only been growing orchids for a couple years. Anyhow those two people are the reason why I have over 40 orchids so check out my orchids and I have a lot more videos to come so please subscribe like and comment because I love to learn from comments that people leave. Someday maybe I'll have a hundred viewers or subscribers you have a zillion take care my friend and come visit my site oh my channel whatever you call it
Me too, it's my first time doing anything with succulents...but I guess it's only been a month for me. I have a papaya tree that is growing so fast in comparison. I'm so newbie on all kinds of planting so it's good to see some kind of reference on what to expect.
I don’t know if you still monitor this but I’m stuck. I have had 5 leaf baby lilacrnas for 4 years now which are just about half an inch and that’s an over estimate! They don’t die. They just won’t get any bigger. What am I doing wrong? They all get tiny white roots start to grow but then dry up. There are no bugs at all. I’ve checked with a jewellers eye glass. I have Graptoveria lovely rose babies doing the same thing. I use coir and Pumice 50/50 because here in uk things just rot in more compost. I’m so envious of your beautiful plants.
I AGREE❕❕❕ That's something that you can never have said to much to a helpful more advanced cactus gardener. A MILLION TIMES THANKS FOR PASSING ON THE GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT SUCCULENT PLANTS YOU'RE A GODDESS OF THE GARDEN...! 🙏 ✨👰 💚 🌞🌵
@@AngelsGrove thank you! I was wondering if I was doing it wrong lol. Some say no soil just place and spritz. Some say soil. 🤷 I have some that are rooting so I'll just have to be patient and hope for the best. I tried with a Jade once and it took like 4 months and I had 2 little roots lol.
@@AngelsGrove do you know the name of this succulent by chance? I bought it a Walmart ended up being a dollar. I have another that I am unsure of as well. Google is not helping me narrow it down at all.
Great idea to separate the rosettes! I have one prop leaf that produced 8, four died due to overcrowding! Question, How many wells are in your tray at the end of the video?
You can just leave that leaf on there because it feeds the baby and also, if you put a queen ant in a pot with your plants, she will start an ant colony in there and the ants will take care of any pests and protect the main plant from anything alien.. 🐜🐜🐜🐜👸👑🐜🐜🌵🌵🌵🌵🌱🌱🌱🌱🐜🐝🐝
@@kylewalker7209 Yes but I have a glass house for growing so the ants are living outside too and they make their nests around or in the pot where it's best for them..Ants are wonderful..🐜🐜🐜🐜🐵 They also farm certain insects and will attack anything which attacks or preys on these insects so it creates a good eco system too..
@@kylewalker7209 no, that's terrible advice. Ants farm aphids and other sucking insects that can harm your plants, and they protect these bugs from predator insects that eat them, such as ladybugs. Ants will farm aphids and mealy bugs by carrying them to succulent new growth, and helping them multiply, therefore causing more harm to your plants faster. Ants do this because they collect the honeydew that the aphids and mealy bugs produce from sucking the sap from your plants.
Those baby plants are just absolutely adorable! Thank you so very very much for this video very educational no wonder you have so many viewers and subscribers I hope I can get somewhere away from the amateur stage that I'm at right now especially in my filming I only use my cell phone so but have to figure out ways to add extras besides just what my cell phone can do for my channel thank you thank you thank you so much for this video I've learned an enormous amount from just this video!! I've never been good with succulents so after watching Maria on Maria's Garden and now watching your I am one lucky person. I love the microphone on my cell phone keyboard because I love to talk so now my comments can be long just as if we were sitting having a cup of coffee and chatting about succulents. I talked and my little microphone does all the typing great invention
So...I’ve been propagating for a few months and noticed that once the mother leaf fall off of the baby, it shrivels up and becomes so tiny. I’ve struggled to keep the roots going. Suggestions?
My propagations grew well until the mother leaf wilted. Post that, the pup just stopped growing, however the roots under are growing very well and looking healthy. Why is the plant not growing?
I have one with 3 heads. Was doing great, had roots. I looked last night and no roots 😭 saw 2 fungus gnat larvae and I'm pretty sure they ate them 😬 do you think it can grow new roots?
What should be the soil mixture for propagation of branch and stem ( I have sacculent soil mixture bought from Amazon India) , I have also leaf compost, fine sand and also perlite, pumice stone. The watering schedule for leaf propagation and branch propagation I mess up and cutting rot or dies . I have never been succeduded leaf propagation and branch propagation in cocopeat and sand last year. So this year I bought Succulent soil mixture online . Here in india , Calcutta is now early spring humidity level is low right now. Where from you are ? Waiting for your valuable responses for successful propagation. Deb, Calcutta, India.
Would it be okay if you just cut off the majority of the mother leaf but then didn't bother carefully separating it totally at the bottom next to the roots?
Hav you tried this: cut the mother leaf off. Dust the cut w/ cinnamon and wait for the end of the mother on the baby to dry out more before pulling it off the roots.
Justin Pierce hats perfectly safe. The baby is actually pulling more nutrients from the leaf itself than it’s getting from the soil, so personally.. I don’t like to remove the leaf. Even when it starts to wrinkle, it’s still healthy enough to keep feeding your plant and you can honestly just play them when they’re big enough, with the mother leaf still attached. I always lay them on a shallow tray on top of severely wet dirt, stick them somewhere sunny I can’t reach so I’m not tempted to overwater them, and just push the mother leaf and root into a small container when they’re old enough. Never had any problem with the growth of my succulents. If anything, I found that removing the leaf while they’re too small actually stunted that batch, but at least it’s something you can try many ways since one succulent can give you 20
Thanks for the info! I’m propagating some leaves and 2 of the babies are growing tall instead of wide. They’re kept in indirect sunlight near a window. Is that bad?
I’ve been having problems with this, and it turns out it’s with the same succulent as yours. I don’t have that much success even getting them to sprout, and the ones I have are still small :/
Does just cutting the leaf down closer to the baby have any purpose? I saw a video where someone was cutting the leaf in half and planting the baby and I hadn’t seen that before.
Ive been trying to find this species of succulent for like ever, where did you get your original plant? I only have a lowes by my place and they never have this kind.
@@AngelsGrove I have but the last time i tried to order one i was sent a whole different type, they seem hard to come by in my area. Lol guess my luck of getting one of these beauties are low. Just gotta keep searching i suppose.
Hi there, was holding my breath watching this! 😂 I have a mealy bug issue on a donkey’s tail... have you noticed any issues with spraying rubbing alcohol on succulents? Any tips are very welcome! Thanks, Kendall
Kendall hi! I have a video on mealy bugs you should check out. I do use rubbing alcohol always but I do a few things to make sure the plants are ok. I remove them from direct light for a while because they are more likely to burn after the alcohol. Good luck.

I'm so glad I found your channel! Your advice has helped me with my propogation efforts. I have a Echeveria(Perle von Nurnberg) that is very pretty I bought from a local nursery here in Lake Charles, LA. I potted it from the original nursery grower's pot(the plastic ones that are sort of shaped like a cube, but slightly longer for the roots) into a slightly larger terra cotta pot about 4" in width. First thing I did was water it...too much apparently b/c it dropped a few petals. Knowing that propogation was possible, I used the oppurtunity to propogate. I laid them on the soil of a potted Stretizia reginae(orange Bird of Paradise) and waited. It's been nearly 2 weeks and they're starting to grow tiny pink roots.

What great successful surgery of your little Siamese twin succulents! Well done and fantastic filming everything was clear and concise
I’m having a go at propagating a succulent for the first time it looks so cool. I will be documenting the progress on my channel. Wish me luck!
Oh wow! I had no idea this could be done! And the splitting, OH! I have a prop with SIX babies. Wish me luck!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!

Your so brave! I was holing my breath. Good job seperating the momma leaf💘💘
Very nice! Thank you! You have a very steady hand indeed.
love it! like surgery... I always hear to let the mother leaf fall off on its own for fastest growth. I guess you haven't found this to be the case?

Most people just say to wait for the leaf to fall off naturally just to eliminate any risk of damaging the roots
You certainly can. I only do this when they stall out and haven't grown for a couple months. These babies are all now bigger and growing again. You could honestly remove roots and they would still be fine.

Great idea to separate the rosettes! I have one prop leaf that produced 8, four died due to overcrowding! Question, How many wells are in your tray at the end of the video?
Oh no! I just separated out all of my babies this weekend to try to prevent that. I believe there are about 70 wells. I bought it from Walmart for $5
What kind of leaf was it hahaha that’s a lot
I am thinking..the leaf is now being nurtured by the baby plant. But with such small root structure it stalled growth?
You can just leave that leaf on there because it feeds the baby and also, if you put a queen ant in a pot with your plants, she will start an ant colony in there and the ants will take care of any pests and protect the main plant from anything alien.. 🐜🐜🐜🐜👸👑🐜🐜🌵🌵🌵🌵🌱🌱🌱🌱🐜🐝🐝
Wow, have you tried this?
@@kylewalker7209 Yes but I have a glass house for growing so the ants are living outside too and they make their nests around or in the pot where it's best for them..Ants are wonderful..🐜🐜🐜🐜🐵 They also farm certain insects and will attack anything which attacks or preys on these insects so it creates a good eco system too..
@@kylewalker7209 no, that's terrible advice. Ants farm aphids and other sucking insects that can harm your plants, and they protect these bugs from predator insects that eat them, such as ladybugs. Ants will farm aphids and mealy bugs by carrying them to succulent new growth, and helping them multiply, therefore causing more harm to your plants faster. Ants do this because they collect the honeydew that the aphids and mealy bugs produce from sucking the sap from your plants.
Hmmm I might try this on a couple of my propagated babies.
Great video. Thx
Those baby plants are just absolutely adorable! Thank you so very very much for this video very educational no wonder you have so many viewers and subscribers I hope I can get somewhere away from the amateur stage that I'm at right now especially in my filming I only use my cell phone so but have to figure out ways to add extras besides just what my cell phone can do for my channel thank you thank you thank you so much for this video I've learned an enormous amount from just this video!! I've never been good with succulents so after watching Maria on Maria's Garden and now watching your I am one lucky person. I love the microphone on my cell phone keyboard because I love to talk so now my comments can be long just as if we were sitting having a cup of coffee and chatting about succulents. I talked and my little microphone does all the typing great invention
So...I’ve been propagating for a few months and noticed that once the mother leaf fall off of the baby, it shrivels up and becomes so tiny. I’ve struggled to keep the roots going. Suggestions?
Can u use garden soil/ compost to put succulents leaves on them ??
Great video. I learned so much. Thanks
My propagations grew well until the mother leaf wilted. Post that, the pup just stopped growing, however the roots under are growing very well and looking healthy. Why is the plant not growing?
I notice babies do well in damp soil rather than misting, mine grow faster
I have one with 3 heads. Was doing great, had roots. I looked last night and no roots 😭 saw 2 fungus gnat larvae and I'm pretty sure they ate them 😬 do you think it can grow new roots?
How fast is the growth compared to the rest now that it's been almost a year?
What should be the soil mixture for propagation of branch and stem ( I have sacculent soil mixture bought from Amazon India) , I have also leaf compost, fine sand and also perlite, pumice stone. The watering schedule for leaf propagation and branch propagation I mess up and cutting rot or dies .
I have never been succeduded leaf propagation and branch propagation in cocopeat and sand last year. So this year I bought Succulent soil mixture online .
Here in india , Calcutta is now early spring humidity level is low right now. Where from you are ?
Waiting for your valuable responses for successful propagation.
Deb, Calcutta, India.
Would it be okay if you just cut off the majority of the mother leaf but then didn't bother carefully separating it totally at the bottom next to the roots?
Can you just leave the mother leaf on after you cut yo shorten it? or will it just rot?
Hav you tried this: cut the mother leaf off. Dust the cut w/ cinnamon and wait for the end of the mother on the baby to dry out more before pulling it off the roots.
thanks for the info, did it really help when you took the leaf off? Still new to succs and learning all the time...
You've inspired me!
I enjoyed watching, very entertaining, thanks for sharing❤️ I subscribed
Can you just snip off most of the parent leaf, without yanking off the remainder? Is that unsafe?
Justin Pierce hats perfectly safe. The baby is actually pulling more nutrients from the leaf itself than it’s getting from the soil, so personally.. I don’t like to remove the leaf. Even when it starts to wrinkle, it’s still healthy enough to keep feeding your plant and you can honestly just play them when they’re big enough, with the mother leaf still attached. I always lay them on a shallow tray on top of severely wet dirt, stick them somewhere sunny I can’t reach so I’m not tempted to overwater them, and just push the mother leaf and root into a small container when they’re old enough. Never had any problem with the growth of my succulents. If anything, I found that removing the leaf while they’re too small actually stunted that batch, but at least it’s something you can try many ways since one succulent can give you 20
Liz Lumbriz yes girl that’s what I do!
Thanks for the info! I’m propagating some leaves and 2 of the babies are growing tall instead of wide. They’re kept in indirect sunlight near a window. Is that bad?
Larissa Granada they are probably stretching for more light, I would move them if you can
I’ve been having problems with this, and it turns out it’s with the same succulent as yours. I don’t have that much success even getting them to sprout, and the ones I have are still small :/
Does just cutting the leaf down closer to the baby have any purpose? I saw a video where someone was cutting the leaf in half and planting the baby and I hadn’t seen that before.
Mine have sat for 4 months with just roots mother leafs not drying out and no babies 🙈 I find her so hard to propagate well done they look amazing
M
Great video!
Thanks for the videos ,I find them easy to watch and very informative BUT ,PLEASE Use compost or soil NOT DIRT !
Great video. Thanks!
On average at what size are u comfortable seperating the leaf? Half inch? A inch? What size is a good size to do this to spped up the process?????
Ive been trying to find this species of succulent for like ever, where did you get your original plant? I only have a lowes by my place and they never have this kind.
Alexis Chavez well I actually bought this echeveria Lilicina at a local nursery. Have you checked online?
@@AngelsGrove I have but the last time i tried to order one i was sent a whole different type, they seem hard to come by in my area.
Lol guess my luck of getting one of these beauties are low. Just gotta keep searching i suppose.
In how many days should I be watering ? And I have an echeveria Black prince and it's one or two leaves just dried up
why has my succulent rooted but isn't flowering? do you have any fixes or ideas on how to get it to grow?
Hi there, was holding my breath watching this! 😂 I have a mealy bug issue on a donkey’s tail... have you noticed any issues with spraying rubbing alcohol on succulents? Any tips are very welcome! Thanks, Kendall
Kendall hi! I have a video on mealy bugs you should check out. I do use rubbing alcohol always but I do a few things to make sure the plants are ok. I remove them from direct light for a while because they are more likely to burn after the alcohol. Good luck.
Thank you
Great video....which succulent was that? Beautiful!
So beautiful!
Thankyou. That’s just what I needed to know !!!
Thanks again🌸🌼🌹
What soil do you use when propagating just the leaves? What soil do you think is best for the babies??
I use a cactus specific soil, so I usually use miracle gro cactus mix
