After reviewing the video, and confirmation from some more horticulturally-experienced friends, I'm not entirely accurate with my description of some of the terms I introduced (re: peduncles, pedicels and bracts). I think I'll brush up on my plant anatomy and create another video showing a correct anatomy of inflorescence! Lucky this wasn't a Cerriscapedia video haha! I didn't completely do my research!
As a beginner succulent collector and harvester I truly love your channel chuck and I can binge your videos for hours lol. Also is it just me or after every video I go in my garden and try to copy what he does lol. 💕💕💕
Great propagation information and instructions. I successfully propagated from my black prince bloom stalk. It was pretty cool to see them grow😊👍. Thanks for sharing 👍.
I started getting into succulents about 3 months ago so none of my succulents have flower stalks but now I know what to do with them when they grow. Thanks Chuck! P.S. I think nerd alert should be a part of the series ha ha ha!!!!
thats my kind of propagation.... i love how it grows and i see a slight difference each day in my leaves ....all of them id leggy but that will be the buyer's problem hahah
Chuck I’ve propagation from flower leaves too with great success. I was under the impression it’s best to use those because there is more growing hormones in them. Can you confirm? Also I noticed I get more crested type babies this way. Also I have experimented with just cutting the flower stern and popped it in some dirt with the leaves remaining on and I have had little pups grow in front of those leaves. It was really successful with Echeveria Zoro. As you probably know those flower blooms get really huge and I was able to cut those off once it bloomed and got over 20 pups this way. I’d love to hear your thoughts on a video where you answer comments and questions. Happy Springtime in Melbourne Susan 😀
suzypie11, Howdy, from the U.S. !! Congrats on your logic and on your success with getting "pups" from the inflorescences. I guess you stumbled upon a couple "formerly" well-guarded secrets of hybridizers/growers, like me. ummm... nerd-alert for the next part... As far as the leaf-like bracts along the peduncle, yes they generally have a higher concentration of growth hormones because hormones are what plants use to elongate cells and, therefore, promote the elongation of the peduncle which, further, allows for the blooms to stand above/apart from the main body and/or foilage so that potential pollinators can more easily be attracted by the bloom colors and/or fragrance. It all plays into the natural push for "survival of the species". And, the pups that grow from a rooted-and-then-planted inflorescence also help push the survival mechanism as well.... Because the inflorescence is detached from the body of the Echeveria, the meristematic tissue at the leaf nodes will oftentimes become activated to produce pups because the inflorescence, alone, doesn't have enough energy/nutrients to sustain the peduncle, the bracts, the developing flowers, AND any potentially developing seeds. So, by creating more plantlets that can eventually sustain themselves and grow into adult plants that can repeat the blooming process, the "survival of the species" is fulfilled. I hope my response provides answers that satisfy your inquiries. And, aside from that, best wishes on your plants!!
Thanks for the assist Frank! @Susan I like doing it from the flower stalk too. I've also tried replanting the peduncle before, got some pups that way too like you did. Other times I leave the stalk attached to the plant and just keep removing flowers. Eventually pups grow along the peduncle. It might not be as "survival-focused" as planting the peduncle on its own, but it's another alternative that can work too.
allwaysgrowing VLOGS I much appreciated your experience and insight explained in your comments. I’m a little tickled with myself for being on the path. Thanks for the confirmation. I do enjoy propagation understanding the biology behind the process. Thanks for the detailed reply cheers from Melbourne AU 👌🏻😊
Cerriscapades Chuck thanks for sharing another option to try. It’s what makes growing Succulents so rewarding is trying different propagation techniques with them successfully. I look forward to more videos with updates from you. Susan
I use regular soil as my base, which I mix with scoria. That's enough nutrients for my plants that I do not apply any fertiliser on them. Besides, I want to keep them looking stressed, and giving them some ferts will keep them green.
Depends on how you count the plants I guess haha! As you can see, I propagate a lot, and having them in the ground also means that they grow fast. That's how I am able to cover lots of ground with plants. I think it would be easier to say I spent over a thousand dollars (AUD) on my plants so far (just entering my 3rd year of collecting). A lot of them I buy as pups, some I bought as mature plants, which require a lot less lead time to propagate (so I can sell some and recover some of the costs). Now that figure will jump up this weekend during the annual cactus and succulent show. I spent around A$300 last year. I'm thinking I'll be spending the same if not more this year, unless I don't find anything I like (very doubtful of that!).

Bahahaha! You got it, it will be a regular part now!
Ireally like to watch your video to much to learn . Thank you for sharing ...

Your videos are so helpful!
Love your vids, very informative and entertaining
Glad you're enjoying it!
DAAAAYYYMM!!! Check out that plant, yo... That Echeveria has some serious "peduncle-donk!" ahahahaa!
I'm going to steal that haha!

New to your channel 🙏 loving your videos.
Thank you very much for your beautiful channel
„Nerd alert”->😂😂😂Hahaha!
Very informative thanks
Thanks! Again🌼🌸🌺

What type of fertilizer do you use for them ?
I use regular soil as my base, which I mix with scoria. That's enough nutrients for my plants that I do not apply any fertiliser on them. Besides, I want to keep them looking stressed, and giving them some ferts will keep them green.
I’m curious, how much of your collection did you grow vs buy?
Depends on how you count the plants I guess haha! As you can see, I propagate a lot, and having them in the ground also means that they grow fast.

Just found u. Very interesting. Anything on rat tail from seed? I'm a newbe. Your over my head but i love it.
Hello. Newbie here. Where are you located? Thank you.
Informative. :)
im still gunna copy this :))
3rd
good night you could send your whatsaap parq I send the photo of the new encheveria crispate I'll send seeds to you
