Propagating succulents from leaves is a simple project that requires a few steps and a couple supplies. After cutting off a healthy leaf, the leaf will naturally sprout new roots, and a new plant will grow from these roots. Succulents make an excellent gift, are a great way to welcome somebody new to the neighborhood, and can be exchanged between friends and fellow gardeners. It is easy to propagate new succulents from leaves, but because not every leaf will take, you should try rooting at least 5-6 leaves at a time.

DAIZZ’S TIPS:-
Step by step: How to grow succulents from cuttings

Remove the lower leaves

Chop the remaining rosette from the stem
Let all the parts dry out and create a callous where they’ve been removed
Place on top of soil until roots and baby plants start forming
Remove the original leaf and plant the new offspring, as well as the original rosette – tada!

Propagate Succulents from Leaves

1.) Select a healthy leaf to propagate. Choose a leaf that is in good health, with a hearty shape and no rips or blemishes. Typically you will choose a larger, more mature leaf than a young, under-developed one.
Pull the leaf off neatly. Use a razor blade or a craft knife to make a clean cut. The knife or blade should be sterilized in white spirit or similar before use; this prevents the transfer of any disease that could harm the succulent plant.
Some plants, like “jade plants”, the leaves will come off easily or even drop off the plant spontaneously. You can either use “volunteers” or select the one you want.
If you use your fingers, be very gentle. Twist the leaf carefully back and forth, from side to side to pull it off intact, without ripping the stem of the plant.

2.)
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.
Do not water the leaf until after 1-3 days as your leaf may turn brown and mushy and will start to rot.

The “wound” on the stem of the parent plant should also be allowed to air dry in a sheltered and well-lit spot for a few hours. During its healing process, the plant will seal the wound and help prevent disease from getting in.

Place the dried leaves on some soil ready to grow. 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. As you’re going to look at it for a good amount of months, you may as well make it look nice in pretty pattern or just place them randomly – that’s all up to you.
The soil should be well drained. If you need to improvise good growing soil, mix half well-rotted compost with half fine pumice or grit.

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, or even once a month (depending on the season/heat), the leaves need to be watered constantly without being watered too much. Only water the soil after it is dry (stick your finger into the soil around the planted leaves; if it feels moist, watering is not needed but if it’s dry, then water).

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.

Zastiranje vrta naj bo opravljeno v celoti – od gredic do potk. Tudi te so del vrtov in vsak kvadratni meter gole zemlje na vrtu je kot odprta rana na koži. Preberite več: https://vrtobilja.si/zastiranje-vrta

Robert Špiler in Tjaša Štruc sta po zaključenem študiju leta 2013, s polno glavo idej in mladostne energije, na gozdni jasi sestavila čudovito malo hiško ter poleg vzpostavila velik vrt. Pri vsega 22. letih sta začela živeti svoje preprosto življenje in odkrivati lepote Narave.

Združila sta Tjašino akademsko znanje (mag. biologije in ekologije) ter večletno Robertovo prakso dela na vrtovih po Sloveniji. Po mnogo uspešnih in tudi zgrešenih vrtnih poizkusih, so ostala le najboljša spoznanja – akademska, praktična, družinska, permakulturna in biodinamična, ki jih danes predajata naprej. Na svojem vrtu uporabljata predvsem kompostno zastirko v kombinaciji z ostalimi organskimi materiali, ki zaščitijo zemljo in imitirajo pogoje v Naravi. Tako dosežeta univerzalno rodovitna tla, mnogo manj pleveli in za 95% manj zalivanja; vse to brez prekopavanja ali obračanja zemlje. Prelepo, da bi bilo res? Ničesar ne skrivata, njuno delo, slike, objave, posnetki so dovolj zgovorni sami zase. Najbolje, da grete kar sami pogledat na kakšno izmed delavnic. Starejše vrtnarke in kmetje ob pogledu na zemljo vidijo zgolj trpljenje in delo. Robert vidi vrtnarjenje kot nekaj lahkotnega, kreativnega in sproščujočega, Tjaša pa kot vir okusne hrane, ki jo pridela z užitkom. Ob sodelovanju z Naravo imata tudi veliko razlogov za praznovanje in veselje, ter seveda obilje domačih pridelkov. Mnogi so z njuno pomočjo že občutili veliko čudovitih trenutkov vrtnarjenja in ti božanski občutki so na voljo tudi tebi.

Ljubezen do sonaravnega vrtnarjenja želita približati mladim in vsem vrtnarjem poenostaviti vrtnarjenje.

Moss Rose is very easy to root from cuttings. However, you should assume a failure rate of about 2/3, so take about three times more plants than you require (though you may have much better success than this!).
Moss Roses can be grown from cuttings every year. This means that after the first time you plant Moss Roses, you will not have to buy these plants again, you can simply take cuttings from the plants you are already growing.
DAIZZ’S TIPS:-
How to Propagate Portulaca From Cuttings
Step 1
Cut a 2- to 5-inch piece of portulaca off of the mother plant. Remove just the bottom leaves of the cutting.

Step 2
Prepare the planting bed as you would for seedings and place the cuttings, bare stem down, into the soil. Press firmly around the base of the cutting to make sure it has good contact with the soil.

Step 3
Water well and then don’t water again until the top 2 inches of soil are dry.

Make cold-process soap with lemongrass essential oil. This simple recipe for handmade lemongrass soap requires only four main oils, color in the form of oxides, essential oil, and a few other ingredients and materials. It’s also a palm-free soap recipe. Making cold-process soap is quick but there is a cure time of four weeks before you can use the bars. During that curing time, the extra water from the recipe evaporates out, creating hard and long-lasting bars.

More details on this recipe and links to get ingredients: https://lovelygreens.com/make-natural-lemongrass-soap/

RECIPE UPDATE — in the video, the amount of water in oz shown in text is incorrect. It’s not a big deal and you can still make the soap with that amount of water. It’s best to use 196g / 7 oz though
