Succulents are one of the few plants that can be propagated. What does that mean? Simply, that a single succulent leaf, when cut and planted, can produce a new succulent. Propagating succulents is an easy and great way to increase your collection. Before you start de-leafing your plants, it's good to note that not all succulents can be propagated. Since I'm obsessed with having succulents in my wedding, I've decided to try propagating my own batch. If interested in propagating succulents, check out my tutorial below.
How to Propagate Succulents:
Step 1. Gather leaf cuttings (Break the leaf off at the stem)
Step 2. Place leaves out for 3 days (Don't put in direct sunlight)
Step 3. After 3 days, plant each leaf tip barely under soil (Use cactus soil)
Step 4. Once roots are visible, plant firmly under soil
Step 5. Water once a week
