Starting Succulents from Leaves

Want to know how to grow succulents from cuttings or from leaves? In this article I will show you how to propagate succulent cuttings so you can regrow your favourite plant again, and again.

Select a healthy leaf to propagate: Choose a leaf that is in good health, with a hearty shape and no rips or blemishes.

Let the leaf or leaves dry: Once you pulled off the leaves you wish to propagate, allow them to dry out a little bit. Let them dry for 1-3 days.

Place the dried leaves on some soil: Just place them on top of the soil. Do not bury or semi-bury into the soil. The roots will find their way into the soil on their own.

Water the leaf: The leaves need water at some point but only a light sprinkling. While "grown-up" succulents only need to be watered every second week.

Wait: All you have to do now is to wait for the leaves to grow roots or even new leaves. You'll see some changes within just a month or so.
