How to propagate succulents by cuttings

Before propagating succulents by cuttings, you must first select a mother plant with good growth, pick some thicker leaves from it together with the base of the leaves, and then place them in a cool and ventilated place. After their wounds are dried, place the leaves with the wounds facing downwards and insert them into the prepared flowerpots.

Succulent cutting time

It is best to propagate succulents by cuttings in a relatively mild climate, that is, spring and autumn would be more suitable, because the climate in these two seasons is relatively warm, which is very suitable for the leaves to take root after cuttings. If it is in winter, cuttings can be carried out in a warmer indoor environment. If there is no such condition in the southern region, winter should be avoided.

Succulent cutting method

If you want to have a high survival rate for succulents after cuttings, you must be careful not to keep them in an environment without light. Only by exposing them to more gentle sunlight can the leaves of succulents carry out photosynthesis well, thereby increasing their survival rate. Be careful not to expose them to the sun, as that will easily damage the leaves. You can expose them to more diffuse light.

Rooting of Succulent Cuttings

If you want succulents to take root quickly after cuttings, you must ensure that the soil in the pot is moist. Potting soil without moisture will not allow succulents to grow roots. We must ensure that the soil moisture content is not less than 50%. At the same time, be careful not to accumulate water and do a good job of ventilation. When watering, just water half of the potting soil. This can basically ensure smooth rooting.
