I just started propagating succulent leaves a month ago and am seeing success! YAY! Thanks to your very helpful videos, I am learning alot. Youre an excellent instructor! Many thanks, from Texas!! 😊
Hi. Very helpful. I like that you do close ups of the plants instead of your face and body like some other videos which makes it hard to see the plants! Also your voice is very pleasant to listen to. Thank you!
Those ghost plants don’t only stretch because of the light, they are a naturally trailing plant. They naturally grow along the ground to spread. There are other types that stay in a rosette form and more compact, but this type will always want to trail and spill over containers. FYI!
I was going to say this!! That is a feature that I actually like about them and they look amazing on shelves, that is why I chose them. Depriving them of light a little bit can give them such a gorgeous colour too, a little more cool toned purple-ish. Plenty of sun makes them blush! 🥰
@@germanshepherddogs echeveria like to trail? As far as I've ever heard, echeveria are known for their compact rosette shape. May I ask which species you're referring to? Maybe it'll refresh my memory. 🤔🙂
The first one you planted with the top of the leaves; I did the same and didn’t see results until 6 months later! So don’t give up people! I sprayed with water lightly every now and then and watered about 2 a month. As long as it’s not dried out keep caring for it! Now the second method with just the “stem” of the plant I just tried last night thanks to this video! I’ll try to update as well
Thx for the info I started some from leaves about 2 months ago & they just now started to sprout a baby. I've had them inside near the window, I just placed them on my porch to see if it helps any.
Thank you so much for this video!! It was so helpful for me. My ghost plant got so big with so many branches over the year that it toppled over yesterday and I was DEVASTATED thinking that there was nothing I could do. I’m so happy to know that I can now plant so many more 😍
I just started adding succulents to my fairly new plant addiction, and I had no idea that this ghost succulent could propagate like this! Great video, thank you for the succulent lesson!
So so happy I found a succulent lover that lives in the same state! It’s easier to gauge what I can and can’t do myself!! 💖 Edit: your pots are so cute!!
This is great. Thank you for explaining every detail of the succulents. I live in Texas too and I didn’t know how I’m going to keep these beautiful plants alive. Step by step that’s what I liked. Thanks again.
The local plant shop gave me a ghost plant that is extremely leggy today. I told them that I would save it. Thanks to your video, now I know how! Thank you so much!
I don’t know why so many succulent videos have people saying to leave the succulent leaf out on the side. I always take the leaf and put it directly in the ground and it makes a new plant. When you have enough succulents like I do, I don’t bother with leaves, and I just cut a stem and put it in the ground. I live in Southern California, so maybe terrain allows for this method better, but succulents don’t need to be fussed over. I’ve grown new succulents in all kinds of soil: new soil, palm plant soil, sand, etc and they ALWAYS grow
Thank you very much for such informative video! While shopping for succulents, I found one stem on the floor. Decided to give him a chance for life, rather than be swept to the garbage. But I had know idea what to do with this poor dude. I just stack him in the pot. Now I see, that instead of leaving him too leggy, I can chop the plant in half, and most importantly I can save the other part as well. This fact really surprised me.
Wow! Thank you so much for your inspiring and captivating video. I recently started gardening and your video is very helpful to novices like me. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Ismat Jahan, 1. Keep plants in indirect sunlight (next to a window which gets lots of sun) 2. Put them on dry soil 3. DO NOT MIST until you have roots. Hope this helps 😊
@@lucyvlogs751 ive been spraying mine since the day i put them on the soil, only 2 have had rot but one was cos it was really bruised and other leaves just dont do anything and just die, but all the others have made roots and leaves, i spray thoroughly daily
I have one succulent that I've been nurturing for over two years. I am emotionally attached to this little plant. I've named him Cadbury. Lol I need to do this for him, but I am TERRIFIED of hurting him and possibly killing him. I would be devastated if I lost him. I know it's a plant but he's the first plant I've ever gotten to live and he's been with me through a lot. The emotional attachment is real.
I really love how thorough you are about the propagation info. There are many good videos on succulents, but they often leave out something like callusing, or watering, etc. Your succulent videos are my favorites!
I just today ran across your video and I have learned more in this one video of yours than I ever have from anyone, any book or any other videos I've watched! Thank you gratefully!! I am now subscribed for sure. 👏💜
Very informative video. Im a beginner in growing succulents and this video gave me more information o how to propagate succulents. Thank you so much for sharing.
So once your little leaves get the new growth like the ones you showed on the ground then what would I do with them I see more leaves that will keep growing out the end but how do you pot those leaves that are staring a new plant?
Excellent video! Thanks so much for showing what to do with the stem. All the other videos do not show anything. They talk way too much. Your cuttings, everything is beautiful. I can’t wait to start. I just got a gift of succulents and she let it grow, etiolate. Lol. I don’t think she knew what to do with them. But they are beautiful. Thank you again for this video. 👍🏼New subscriber here.🥰
4:51 it does matter because inside a plant there is a sense of up and down. I think it’s a gradient of growth hormone so the plant does indeed know where the roots and where the leaves belong
Mind blowing...one thing let me clear for Echiveria pulvinita stem cutting propagation I have to remove all leaves from the stem and don't need water if the soil mixture is moist .....but should the cutting grow pot should be kept in full sun whole day always ? Please let me know I m from india and now here extreme dry weather with 35'centrigate temperature high in day time and at night around 18-19'Centrigate temperature. Thank you.👍
Nicely presented: good diction and information . With the leaf cuttings, was the the soil damp , dry or moist? Did you keep the leaf cuttings damp by spaying? 🇬🇧 Thanks for saying SOIL and not DIRT as so many of your countrymen do.
I wish I could show you mine so you can tell me if I should do exactly what your doing. I got mine at a yard sale not long ago and it's massively stretched. Along with another stretched one
Very informative video. London temperature in day is 10 and night 4 deg Can I leave the propagated succulents outdoor or do I have to keep it inside Thank you
Those succulents(graptopelatum parangueyensis) are the fastest propagating succulents I’ve ever had. I propped a leaf in April and it’s already branching
I'm trying to propagate a red pagoda. There's a portion of it at the bottom that is almost directly on the soil. I was planning on cutting that and repotting it. If I heard you correctly I should let it dry for a minimal of 30 minutes first, correct?
Most instructions say to dry out cuttings and leaves, but is there any harm or benefit to plant them straight into a pot? I was given a whole bunch from a friend and didn’t let them all dry. Some I planted the same day. I’m crossing my fingers now..... 😧
How do you propagate The Flap Jack? I tried leaves , no luck, Please Help. Yeh...I did the cutting and dried for few days and I forgot about which is top which bottom ... Newcastle AU
I live in a similar climate to TX. Where or how are you keeping those succs outside all of the time where they get enough light, but don’t get too much water from rain?? I’m trying to prop and also have adult succulents. I just am constantly moving them around to keep them from the rain, but also struggling to give them enough light!
I’m mostly asking bc it has been raining CONSTANTLY in MS!! Like for the the last 2-3 weeks. Even my other plants that are not succulents, are struggling to get enough sun.
My kid plucked all the leaves off my ghost plant. Can I just leave the stem in the dirt? He even beheaded it but it did callous over on the top. Can it be saved by just leaving it alone
I had a leaf that got lost and hidden underneath our bench on our balcony with no sunlight or water! I found it today and it had cute little buds growing on it and roots!!!
So you don’t put succulents in water and wait for roots like say, a pothos? I broke a piece off of the mother succulent plant by accident. Just stick that in soil and it’ll grow okay?
But if u snip off your succulent that was too stretched , can you leave the stem still connected to the roots inside the pot and will that stem grow ?? Or do i have to snip it completely off the roots and regrow it ?
Hello thank you for having the plants in close ups. It made it easy to recognize. Thats the ghost plant right? Lastly, thank you for having a pleasant voice. Keep on !
Do you leave the leaves on their sides in the soil and let them root and grow, or what? Thanks so much. I’ve been wanting to know how to do this for a while now! Oh my gosh this is so helpful.
@@ShannonQueen50 Probably!! I grew up in CA and specifically remember learning (as a young adult) that things *don't just basically grow* without work. lol I was like wait- I know for a fact that no one in my family did ANY kind of maintenance for our strawberries, enormous aloe, etc. Now I'm practically throwing a party when something didn't die during an especially deathray-esq day 🤪 Good succ vibes to you!
I’m jealous too and I live in North Carolina where it’s almost always sunny! It’s gone down into the 20s the last few nights so I’m running around trying to keep my plants alive! I didn’t realize that some succulents were actually fairly cold hardy until I saw this video. I am a new subscriber and will be watching all of your videos. Thank you!
Dang you just got baby succulents sprouting everywhere and almost without effort! You have such a green thumb sir! Thanks for the video!!!

@@samanthacoleman4789 Panda plant generally seems to stay upright in its pot. But echeveria like this ghost plant likes to trail a bit over the edges.

same!
Meeee tooooo!
You've got me so excited to regrow my plants!

Have you ever sold them? You have so many. I’m interested in having some shipped to me

your video is really good and you explained a lot and a very soothing voice. now I know how to proceed with my plants. and you really have a lot 😅👍🏼
Wow I had no idea new succulents can grow from the stems!! So so cool!!!! :D thanks for the video
How within only six weeks it's got so many leaves and almost full grown! It's been 4weeks here and i don see anything!! I feel like crying 😭😭

If u live n a dry place then mist them but if its kinda wet then don't.

I agree. A very simple and to the point video on propagation. Kudos to you. Now I know. 👍👍👍👍👍
I've really enjoyed your videos. I'm so glad I stumbled upon one of your videos a few weeks back. Now I'm hooked.
You have an easy way & are very thorough, thank you. I'm planting my 1st cuttings from a friend's plant today. Glad I checked your site 1st.
Great Informant video. One of the best for me. Also I enjoy listening to your soft voice. Thank You......
this is the most helpful succulent propagation video that i've watched!! thank you for this!!

Did you ever cut him? I'm curious lol🤔

You did a wonderful job with your propagating succulents. Your planter pot is very nice.
Great video, packed full of useful tips, thanks for sharing friend 👍👍
I came in to watch because that blue flower pot is identical to the one I have for my Venus flytrap. 😁
I have a rat tail cactus in the blue pot. Lol
Venus flytrap!? wow!
Seriously I also came to watch just because I love the look of the blue flower pot lol 😂
Thanks for all the hints on propagation.
That blue pot is gorgeous! :) Nice video!
Very new at this and so far most helpful video. Thank you.
do you water right after you plant the stems? Also, I have the root grow powder. With that, do you water right away?
I want to know this as well. I’m wondering if you water them right after you plant the stems in the soil!
I am switching from pepper to succulent, so glad to find videos of you on succulent 😊
Hi Leah!!!!!!!!
Thank you, this was very helpful for me. I qlready took many leaves off. Getting ready to cut a stem.

Beautiful echeveria, nice information, stay connected friend
Thanks, Khang! I'm trying to propagate an Aeonium. I have a stem cutting and letting it scab over first.
Do I use dry cactus soil or wet it?
you have to keep the soil moistened in order for them to grow.
What if a plant is really stretched and the stem doesn’t have any leaves on it? Can you still use that stem? Thanks!
You can cut the stem down a little, provide them with good light and good soil and they will grow new shoots.
4:51 it does matter because inside a plant there is a sense of up and down. I think it’s a gradient of growth hormone so the plant does indeed know where the roots and where the leaves belong
Luv your Ghost plants! You make it look so easy!
Thank you so much! You've made my day. I thought my plant was dead.
This video was very informative compared to other propagating videos that I've seen.
Hi the plant which it was originally cut from, will that piece continue to grow?
Mind blowing...one thing let me clear for Echiveria pulvinita stem cutting propagation I have to remove all leaves from the stem and don't need water if the soil mixture is moist .....but should the cutting grow pot should be kept in full sun whole day always ?

I am guessing that the pot has a hole as you have a saucer, however I do not know if you specified that.
Terrific! Thanks for all the pointers!
Amazing how your plants grow. I can't seem to get mine going.
Thankyou! Learnt about stem propogation!

Tell me how it goes. Cause Im wondering that too
This is absolutely amazing!
Nice video; I learned so much. Thank you for posting.
In the philippines we air dry cuttings for 5-7 days, sometimes weeks because of the humidity
When do you water the stems after you've replanted them? Do you use dry or moist soil?

Wow..nice succulent 👍👍👌🏾👌🏾🍀☘🌱
Fabulous.Very informative.Thank you
What soil mix do you use to grow the leaves in? Mine just set there.
So ghost pants can stay outside in the cold? Wooooow! I didn't know! Thanks! I wanna plant them in my yard yet
I have that teal pot too! Currently has a Thanksgiving Cactus 😁.
Removing leaves is satisfying
Your pots are so cool
So you don’t put succulents in water and wait for roots like say, a pothos? I broke a piece off of the mother succulent plant by accident. Just stick that in soil and it’ll grow okay?

Great video as always. Sure does look easy.
Do you cut them in an angle? Thank you
Wow love that variegated jade! I’m in texas too! Good to know about the hardiness of those others, are they echeveria?
I thought they looked more like a Houseleek in the Crassulaceae family ?
Do you leave the leaves on their sides in the soil and let them root and grow, or what?
Thanks so much. I’ve been wanting to know how to do this for a while now! Oh my gosh this is so helpful.
Just put the leaves on top of soil facing up. It really doesn't matter if they face down, but they will grow better facing up.
Awesome video!thnks for sharing,very informative!
