What are the propagation methods for succulents
Propagation is a common method for multiplying succulents. So, what are the propagation methods for succulents? Today, I will share several commonly used methods with you, let's take a look.
Propagation methods for succulents: Leaf propagation
Firstly, we need to select leaves that are plump and without scars, then cut the leaves off with a blade and soak them in a potassium permanganate or carbendazim solution for half an hour for disinfection. After soaking, place them in a cool and well-ventilated area to dry the growth of the leaves for about two to three days. Then, place the succulent leaves flat on the soil, maintain the humidity of the soil and air, and wait slowly for them to root.
Stem propagation
Like leaf propagation, we need to choose branches or stems that are free from diseases and pests, such as the top of a cut succulent. We can propagate the top of the succulent through stem propagation. After selecting the branches, we need to disinfect the wound and let it dry in a shaded place, then plant it in the soil and place it in an environment with scattered light for maintenance.
Root propagation
Root propagation is only suitable for some succulents, such as the Echeveria. It can be propagated through root tubers, but the root tubers used must be healthy, without any drying or rotting, and both main roots and lateral roots can be used for propagation.
