One of my favorite and most convenient one-stop-shops to buy practically any plant is Etsy. Once the potting mix is about dry halfway down, I’ll go ahead and water again. Once the plants are more established, I’ll probably give most of them away to friends. Procrastination set in and I left them on the paper towel for weeks.Īfter several weeks, I noticed that both roots and small plantlets were forming on their own without any additional help! They literally just sat there for 6 or 7 weeks, and growth started to occur.Īt this point, I placed them back in my grow light stand where have various projects going. My intent was to allow the leaves to callous over for about a week and then proceed with my process. This is done both to prevent rotting and also to prevent any pests and diseases from potentially affecting the plant. This allows the cut to dry and form a hard tissue. Typically, when propagating any succulents by leaves or stem cuttings, you will need to let them air dry for a few days. My original plan was to just let the leaves callous over for a few days, and then insert them into soil. Just don’t cook your leaves in sun all day! An hour or two of direct sun would be fine as well. I could have easily placed the leaves near a window that received plenty of bright, indirect light. I placed it here for convenience, but it was a great location since my basement stays warm, and the lighting conditions were great for this project. You can see the leaves in the photo above, and I placed them right in front of my terrarium which I have lit with an LED grow light.
