How to Propagate Succulent Plants
You may not know how to propagate succulent plants and the steps of succulent cultivation. Here are the details:
Succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with thick and juicy leaves that have the function of storing a large amount of water among the three nutrient organs: roots, stems, and leaves. Because of their cute appearance and ability to purify the air, they are widely loved by many people.
Methods of propagating succulent plants:
1. Cutting Propagation
Cutting propagation is the most common method of propagating succulents, often using leaf cuttings, stem cuttings, and root cuttings.
2. Leaf Cuttings
Select healthy, thick, and older leaves for leaf cuttings. First, let the wound heal and then place it on moist soil.
3. Stem Cuttings
When many small stems grow on the main stem of the succulent, you can cut this section of the stem and insert it into the soil for cultivation.
4. Top Cutting Propagation
When the succulent has grown too tall, you can cut the top part and place it in the soil to grow again, and the remaining part can continue to grow leaves.
5. Division Method
Many succulents grow many small plants around the mother plant. When these small plants have grown some roots, you can cut this part of the root and it can survive. This is the simplest and safest method of propagating succulents.
6. Grafting Method
Select a suitable scion and rootstock for grafting, which has a lower success rate and is not commonly used.
