How to keep in check

The Cotyledon undulata has doubled its size since the end of 2016. It simply looks too big right know next to my other succulents. So instead of throwing the branches away (I really would regret that), I decided to include them into Christmas presensts. 

Since all leaves have shrivelled at my attempt to propagate them just the way as I usually do with most of the succulent leaves, I pin my hope on their cuttings.

Succulent propagation - My first tries

The first succulent of my little collection is probably an Echeveria chinensis. Well, it looks like an Echeveria, but I'm not sure. These leaves were my first propagation tries. I followed succulent bloggers' advices and ended up with quite a few succulents. So, see how it turned out! When I was new to this matter, I always wondered how long it would take the leaves to root and form a baby succulent. That's why I made these succulent propagation time lapses, so you know what to expect. However, bear in mind that every leaf is different and the development greatly depends on the environment.

When one leaf ends up with three baby plants

Image
When my friend and I collected two leaves of a succulent plant in Malta, we didn't know that one of them would rot and the other one would form three tiny baby succulents. The latter outcome was a surprise indeed. Until that moment, I had only seen plants developing on the other side of the leaf (where it had been attached to the origin plant) and was expecting exactly the same thing to happen. Suddenly, three little green structures appeared at the margin and developed into mini-plants. A souvenir from Malta Succulent propagation time lapse   21.02.2018

Souvenir from Padua

I found these leaves somewhere on the ground in Padua. Almost every one of them developed a baby plant. You can see two time lapses here. Succulent propagation time lapse
