likes to raise succulents. One skill that must be learned is the propagation of succulents and . As long as you can learn to propagate them yourself, you will not need to buy succulents in the future. The succulents you reproduce alone are enough to maintain. Especially for the Sedum succulents that are currently popular in the market, propagation is very simple and easy. You can easily propagate and survive if you get started.

The propagation of succulents does not require any skills. The only thing that needs to be spent is time. Wait quietly for the succulents to take root and survive normally. The average reproduction and growth cycle of most succulents is about 3 to 5 months.

There are three main propagation methods of succulents:

beheading, leaf cutting, and sowing. These three propagation methods are currently the most popular on the market and are also the most widely used.

For different types of plants, the propagation methods used will naturally be different. Among them, the two most commonly used are beheading and leaf cutting. These two propagation methods are also the simplest and easiest to operate.

Succulent propagation tips:

1. Leaf inserts:

Leaf inserts are very simple and easy for most varieties of succulents. , can be propagated through leaf cuttings. For example, the Sedum succulents currently on the market. Most of the sedum succulent varieties can be rooted and sprouted through the leaves. Use a fishing line to cut off the succulents from the middle, then pull off the leaves one by one, and place the leaves on the balcony to dry naturally. It will take about a month for the leaves to naturally grow new roots.

When the leaves take root, prepare the soil for the cuttings. Just place the fleshy leaves flat on the soil. Use a watering can to spray water once a week to keep it slightly moist. There is no need to bury the leaves completely in the soil. The leaves that will take root will naturally take root, and the fleshy seedlings will grow from the buds of the leaves.

leaf cutting is the simplest method of propagation, and it is also the easiest to operate. There is no difficulty. The process of propagating from cuttings can be clearly seen in the photos.

2. Beheading:

Different varieties of succulents have different forms of expression. Most of them are single-headed. Single-headed succulents You can also use a fishing line to cut from the middle. The cut succulent base will grow side buds. Cut off the remaining main head and dry the hair roots. It can also form a separate plant. The propagation method of beheading is the simplest and easiest. It can be operated by just getting started. There is no difficulty. Most succulents can be propagated by beheading.

3. Sowing

Sowing of succulents is the most difficult of the three reproduction methods. Sowing is formed through pollination, and succulents will grow during the flowering period. Long flower stems are produced, and the flower stems will give birth to flower buds. After the petals open, different varieties are used to touch each other, so that the stamens and pistils are in contact with each other to form separate seeds. When the seeds are mature, they are sown to breed new varieties. Usually, propagation through seeding takes a lot of time, energy and cost, and is not suitable for our individual players.

For example, Lithops , we can carry out artificial pollination for this variety. Two different Lithops bloom at the same time. Use tweezers to pick up the pollen and touch each other, and the seeds will breed seed pods. In the spring of the next year, the seed pods will slowly begin to dry up, and the seeds can be planted in pots.

Another example is cactus . Cacti bloom, and different varieties of cactus can also be used to pollinate each other. Pollination and sowing of cactus are relatively easy, and individual players can also easily operate it.

Regarding pollination, there are various reproduction methods. It is not recommended that you try it personally. It is completely unnecessary and takes too long. Moreover, the price of succulents is very cheap nowadays. You can buy it for three to five yuan. If you plant seeds through pollination, it will take at least a year. The time cost is too high and it is not necessary. There are three propagation methods:

. It is recommended that you use leaf cuttings to propagate. The whole cycle can be completed in 3 to 5 months. It is easy to operate and can be operated with ease.
