How to Propagate Succulents

How to Propagate Succulents

Last Modified November 10, 2016 By Staff Writer

Succulent plants are easy to grow and maintain, and you can grow more of them by propagating the succulents you already own. The three main steps to propagating succulents are “pluck”, “tuck”, and “wait”. To start, cleanly pluck or cut several of the lower leaves of the succulent plant. Next, place the plucked leaves in soil until they grow a callous, and then, bury one end into the soil. Finally, wait for your new succulent plant to grow out of the leaves of your old succulent.

Key Takeaways:

  • Most succulents have leaves on them, so we’ll begin with how to start new baby succulents from this type. This involves either plucking or cutting off some of the lower leaves.
  • Once you’ve planted your succulents, the time for doing nothing happens. All you can do now is wait for them to grow.
  • Succulents that do not have leaves and instead have what are called fingers or sticks, such as the variety known as blue chalk stick, are a bit easier to propagate.
