Plant Care & Growing Tips

Propagating succulents from leaves is a relatively simple process, making this an easy succulent propagation method. To begin, gently place the succulent leaves on a bed of dry, well-draining soil. A succulent-specific potting mix is ideal, as it provides the necessary aeration and prevents waterlogging. Avoid burying the leaves; simply lay them flat on the surface. For the first week, refrain from watering to allow the cut end of the leaf to callus over, which prevents rot and encourages root development.

After approximately one week, you may begin to introduce a few drops of water to the soil around the leaves. This slight increase in humidity and moisture will stimulate the growth of roots and tiny plantlets, often referred to as ‘babies.’ Some propagators find success by dipping the cut end of the leaves in rooting powder before placing them on the soil; this can accelerate root formation. Ensure the leaves receive bright, indirect sunlight during this period. Avoid direct, harsh sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves and emerging plantlets. The rooting time for different succulent varieties varies, with some showing roots in a couple of weeks and others taking a month or more, so patience is key.

As the plantlets grow, the original ‘mother’ leaf will gradually shrivel and fall off. This is a natural part of the process, as the new plant draws nutrients from the old leaf. Once the plantlets are large enough and have a robust root system, they can be carefully transplanted into their own small pots. Continue to provide bright, indirect light and water only when the soil is completely dry to the touch. With proper care, your 30 succulent leaves for propagating will transform into a vibrant collection of mature succulents, showcasing your successful propagation efforts.
