You are precious! We all are learning as we go. You are smart enough to admit that, and that’s great! I’m looking forward to seeing many more videos from my new teacher! Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much, just purchased my first hen & chick, over grown with many chicks and didn’t know what to do. Sharing your mistake prevented me from pulling leaves apart for propagating.
Hey ! Worked out ok for ya . Loved your video! Thank you so much 🥰. You have a nice voice and beautiful hands . And I also found the “ Dark spot mentally “ comment funny 🤣
You can encourage offsets, buy pulling off leaves. I got a very Large gold Nugget, I pulled a a circle of leaves off near the top, and it started growing chics there, lots of them. :)
You should bury the stems after they've dried a bit and formed a callus. That way the roots would end up in the soil, unlike the ones that are staying on top in your video. Another thing to do that could help immensely is to use some IBA rooting hormone before planting those stems.
I have over 60 varieties of sempervivum and you def just want the mother plant to be in a big pot with 30% perlite and 50% potting soil and then 20% peat moss mix. When her babies get to around 4-5 inches big you want to gently pull the baby off with as much of its umbilical cord as you can. Then use a stick to make a long hole in the same kinda dirt mix as the mother and plop them in to right before the leaves touch the dirt and lightly pack it in. 🙂 lmk if you have any questions.
Yep... shoulda watched this b4 I pulled off a bajjillion leaves lol. They are all lay flat in a tray of soil and looking at them now, I know I cant make myself turf them out lol maybe one will be that one in a million ;)
If you want to make any ordinary soil better for succulents, just add a 10-50 percent perlite. It helps to stop the soil from getting compacted which helps it let the water through and allows the roots to get air.

"Not a dark spot mentally, I mean a dark spot physically". 🤣😂🤣 You got me with that one ... Subtle yet funny 👍🥂🕊️

"not a dark spot mentally" lollllllllllllllll i cracked up so hard!
I appreciate you posting this!
I just did the same. Pulled a bunch of leaves and put them on a tray and then watched your video and was like Doh! lol
Omg.. ily. “Not in a dark place mentally, a dark place physically” I actually almost spat my coffee 😂😂😂😂
Ayyy we love a good how not to video😂😂🙏
😅Gotta make the most of learning from mistakes, right?

Good to know, thank you!
What an awesome video. Good information
Thank you!!
very helpful and simple video, thank you ♥️
Of course! Thanks for kind comment!
Sp for those long ones with lots of dead leaves like the two you had , how do you “fix”them
You can remove the dead leaves, repot them so the bare stem doesn't show and then place them in a much sunnier spot 😊

Haha, you and me both! I hope you have the one in a million too!
@@tenneyplants as an after note, just found out the long stems with round buds are going to FLOWER!!!
I'm so excited, I had no idea!
@@tenneyplants no miracles lol
😂😂 darn it!
Im curious do you have a video on how to remove a baby from the mother plant and how to propagate it
I don’t but that’s a great idea!
What soil are you using for those?
Just some all purpose potting soil
If you want to make any ordinary soil better for succulents, just add a 10-50 percent perlite. It helps to stop the soil from getting compacted which helps it let the water through and allows the roots to get air.
Thanks for the tip!
@@tenneyplants my pleasure!
