If there’s a fast-growing trend in garden plant arrangements, it’s the world of succulents. As popular as the current trend in miniature fairy tale gardens. In this article we will explore how to grow succulents, and propagate them from their leaves.
Where before you didn’t see a lush garden, and with a special arrangement of cacti and succulents on the side of a country house, today you can find showy arrangements everywhere: patios, offices, office buildings, poolside, front entrances in houses, outdoor decks and many other areas of the home.
Why did succulents gain ground?
Succulents, for one, are immensely easy to grow and maintain. Honestly, they are especially attractive to workers, women who work on a regular basis have little time to plant, fix and regenerate their precious green.

How to propagate succulents?
Learn the best way to propagate succulents from their leaves.
- Remove its leaves carefully. The cut must be from the root.
- Let it dry for two days to form a corn.
- Try to keep them indoors to give them proper care before they are ready to go outside.
- Fill a container with sandy soil.
- Place the leaves (after drying to form calluses) on the ground as indicated.
- The leaves begin to turn pink when they are about to take roots.
- At 2 weeks.
- At 4 weeks.
- After two months.
- They may now be ready to transplant.
Sprinkle water every day on the container when they are already on the ground, just to moisten the soil a little if it is dry, and also wet the leaves.
Do not put water on them while they are drying and forming their callus as that can cause them to rot. When you consider it appropriate to change the container, you can do it individually or in the way that you like the most.
