An added bonus is that from one succulent plant you have the possibility to make many, many more. We hope you enjoy the below guide to leaf propagating and create a splendid garden, both inside and outside your home. Propagating succulents is typically a very simple process, however, some plants are more difficult to propagate than others. Ones that tend to be successful are: Echeveria, Sedum, Pachyveria, Sedeveria, Graptoveria, Graptopetalum, Jade plants, Sempervivum rosettes. Leaf propagation works best for succulents with fleshy leaves. To root successfully, the leaf must stay whole. Grasp the leaf with your forefinger and thumb and gently rock it back and forth to loosen it. Then carefully detach the leaf, with its base intact, from the mother plant. Some leaves will pop right off with a gentle tug, while others may require a sharp knife. Using a sterile knife, remove a healthy leaf. It is important that the curve of the leaf base remains attached. Before we can place our leaves on soil to begin growing new plants, we must let the ends dry out and callous over.
