Great demonstration of beheading succulents. I’m fairly new to succulent growing myself ... started just over 1 year ago but I’ve personally discovered that beheading seems to make new pups grow faster than the leaf propagation method. Both ways seem fine but I love the way they fill out after a beheading. 😃
Love beheading succulents, and of course I was scared when I did my first one...now I am always looking for ones to chop because who doesn’t want more plants?! Also, love your collection and your videos!
Thanks for watching I’m glad you liked it. Yes I agree.. always looking for things to cut lol. I will check out your videos too xox Where are you from? I’m in Australia
suzypie11 I am from the southeast US and right after I watched your video this morning I went and chopped some plants and filled a whole tray! Will upload a video soon on it, but I have a couple other beheading videos I think right now
SweetSweet Succulents Oh wonderful. I look forward to watching it. I just finished making a part 2. I’ll post soon. I’m really just learning how to make videos so I feel a little vulnerable when I put them out. But I think who care I enjoy documenting my love of them.
Thanks for this! I received an Echeveria Rainbow that got damaged during shipping😕, it’s the most I have ever spent on a succulent.....so I am looking at my options. Your video makes me feel much better about be heading😬one of my $4 plants first then hopefully making my Rainbow look better along with growing some new ones😆😊🤩. The plant itself is in good shape but the bigger leaves got bruised on the ends, it’s just leggy enough to cut while leaving the bottom leaves on. Thank You so much!!💕💕
I hope they replaced it gave you a refund. There is always an option to clone it or cut to promote more growth. It’s just a matter of time to grown it. Yes I do encourage you to try on an inexpensive one to build your confidence that it will work. Thanks for watching, I appreciate that 😘
suzypie11 Sadly no 🙁, all I got was a “sorry this happened”. Was hoping maybe they would think about it and at least give a store credit 🤷🏻♀️. May have to check with ETSY, I just hate being a complainer.......never had any problems. Have shopped ETSY for years & bought lots of plants recently, everything is always perfect.
It doesn’t really matter. Just keep the cut dry until it callouses over. This is an old video I don’t really recall everything I said. Most cuttings will be fine if put straight into soil as long as no water is introduced when the cut is fresh. I have found dipping in cinnamon works as a antibacterial and helps encourages new roots Air roots are fun and rewarding to watch grow though. I hope that was helpful Thanks for watching
Watering is pointless until roots grow. Remember every leaf is full of water. It will lose the bottom leaves as it draws water from them to grow roots. But if it rains don’t worry only needs a day or two for it to callus over.
Also try not to worry most succulents are very hardy. Can be a bit tricky if your climate is humid. But in general they will surprise you how well they respond and multiply.
I’ve been trying to behead succulents and have had trouble😅 the ends of the stem and head will callous over but then they keep drying out and shriveling until both the stem and head end up dying. What could I be doing wrong?
@@suzypie11 I still water as normal! I keep both the head and stem in shade until they callous over. Once they callous over I put them back in their regular spot and over the course of like 1-2 months both the head and stem will just slowly shrivel up from the spot they were cut until they’re just dry, dead sticks. The heads have never grown roots either before hey shrivel up😔
@@samanthadiaz8537 maybe you’re cutting when it’s dormant. Maybe next time look for signs it’s activity growing eg flowers are growing. You might have a better chance with the mother plant if you leave a few leafs on it. Sorry I wish I could be more helpful.
@@suzypie11 I’ve been cutting pretty well established plants, usually echeverias or graptopetalums. But I’ll definitely look into the dormancy thing and try at the best time for them! Thank you!!☺️
Connie Beal personality I do it when I’m inspired too. Yes Springtime is ideal as it’s a growing season but I think it should work as long as the succulent isn’t hibernating.
Love your succulents and u are so patient and informative with your plants, Thankyou!
Thank you
That’s lovely to hear
Thanks for watching 🤗
I am late to the party! Just found you. Subscribed...Love from Central Coast NSW.

@@suzypie11 Hi I am from Canberra, and you? Nice video and thank you for showing the successful headchop propagation.

Liliya Kamara Oh thank you 💕
Can you please give me some advice the leaves of of beheaded echeveria is becoming soft
harmless heart are they the lower leaves? It’s very normal for the head to drop or lose lower leaves before it grows roots.
Can you cut again the beheaded part to activate it? Or it is permanently dormant?
Anne Kim they only go dormant under Extreme weather conditions to cope eg too hot or hot cold. When the season changes they wake up.
So you let the beheaded top part callous over and then stick it in the pot orrrr callous over+air root and then put it in the pot?
It doesn’t really matter. Just keep the cut dry until it callouses over.
This is an old video I don’t really recall everything I said.

Air roots are fun and rewarding to watch grow though.
I hope that was helpful

After i cut the succulent how long to take before I watering them again? I worry if i make mistake

I’m not sure why. Are you still watering as normal?
Are you saying the head you cut off dies as well?

@@samanthadiaz8537 I really don’t know why. Are you cutting young succulents? What type of succulent are you cutting?

When did you behead it? Another TH-camr suggested to behead in the Spring?
