about

Planting and Caring for Succulent Cuttings

1. Strip leaves from the lower part of the stem.
If you are using a stem cutting, remove the lowest cluster of leaves. Strip them with the same, sterilized knife, leaving the lowest 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of the stem bare. Don't remove remaining leaves higher up on the stem cutting.
If buds are on your cutting, leave them on.

2. Prepare a succulent potting mix.
While waiting for the cuttings to dry, fill a small pot with a fast-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. If you wish to make your own, mix together three parts potting soil, two parts sand, and one part perlite.
Use coarse, salt-free, store-bought sand if possible, since hand-gathered sand may contain microorganisms or salts that could harm plants.

3. Select an appropriately sized pot to plant your cutting.
Succulent plants thrive in pots that aren't too much bigger than the plant itself. Pots that allow for about an inch or two of growing room should be fine while the cutting is getting started.
The pot must have a drainage hole.

4. Plant the cutting.
Stems cuttings can be planted as usual, burying the stem until the lowest leaves are just above the soil, but not touching it. Buried leaves are more likely to rot, so if you have a leaf cutting, try just touching the cut end to the soil surface, propping the leaf up with pebbles.

5. Water occasionally.
Succulents don’t need a lot of water, in general. Still, you’ll need to water cuttings every 2 to 3 days or so while they establish roots. Once the plants have started to build a root system, you can cut down to weekly watering or whenever the soil is dry.
Don’t be worried if the cuttings look like they’re drying out, at first. This means the plant is using its stored energy while it puts down new roots.
If things work, you should start to see new growth in about 4 weeks.

6. Place the plant in a warm, airy location.
Young succulents may not have the water supply to withstand direct sunlight, unlike adult plants. They do best in indirect sunlight, temperatures of around 68ºF (20ºC), and in locations with good air flow.

7. Keep the soil slightly moist.
Young succulent cuttings need a regular supply of water in order to stay alive and develop roots. However, succulents are adapted to dry climates and will usually rot if kept in soaking conditions. Try using a spray bottle or small pitcher to add water to the top of the soil as soon as it dries out, about every two or three days.Mist your leaf cutting directly as well, since it has not yet developed roots.
If your tap water is heavily chlorinated, or if your cuttings develop rot, try using distilled water.

8. Reduce watering as the plant develops.
A stem cutting may have a sufficient root system after four weeks, at which point you may water as infrequently as once a month. Leaf cuttings will develop more slowly, but can also be tracked by eye as small leaves and roots emerge from the cut end. Reduce watering frequency gradually once the roots enter the soil, which may take six weeks or longer.

9. Use fertilizer cautiously.
Succulents are slow-growing plants, and are not adapted to growing in high-nutrient soil. Use a balanced fertilizer (for instance, 10-10-10) only during the growing season, and only once the young plant is at least four weeks old, with established roots. Consider using the fertilizer at ½ or ¼ the recommended dose, to prevent the plant becoming overly tall and "leggy" with little foliage, or burning its root system.
