Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successfully growing your succulent leaves for propagation requires a few simple steps and a bit of patience. First, upon receiving your leaves, allow them to callus over for 2-3 days in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. This helps prevent rot when they are introduced to moisture. Once callused, lay the leaves on top of a well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix. Do not bury them; simply place them on the surface. A shallow tray or pot works best for this initial stage.

Light is crucial for successful propagation. Provide bright, indirect sunlight, or use a grow light for 12-14 hours a day. Avoid harsh, direct sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves. Watering should be minimal during the initial stages. Once you see tiny roots or a small plantlet emerging from the base of the leaf (usually within 2-4 weeks), you can begin to mist the soil lightly every few days, ensuring the soil dries out completely between mistings. Overwatering is the most common cause of failure when you propagate succulents.

Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Good air circulation is also beneficial. As the plantlet grows and the original leaf shrivels and falls off, you can gently transplant the new succulent into its own small pot with appropriate succulent soil. Continue with bright, indirect light and infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry completely. Remember that results may vary, as growing from leaves is a natural process, but with proper care for your succulent leaves for propagation, you’ll enjoy a high success rate.
