About

Welcome on my blog about succulents and other plants. I've originally created this blog to show other newbies what to expect when propagating succulents. The internet is full of succulent blogs with great instructions and how-to-care informations which I find very useful. What I've never found back then are time lapses. If you're wondering (like I have when I've had no idea of succulent propagation) how long it will take for a succulent leaf to develop a baby plant, you can roughly estimate looking at a few time lapses. However, bear in mind that every leaf is different and you never know how it'll develop. Even leaves of the same plant grow differently.

On the left side, you can see the development of succulent babies in a breeding tray from (almost) the very start till all mother leaves wilted except for the one of Crassula ovata. Check my posts for the time lapses of the individual plants and more. 

How it all started: I decided it would be nice to have at least one plant of my own and bought an Echeveria chinensis. After two years, I would still have just that one plant if it wasn't for my friends who either wanted someone to share their enthusiasm for succulents with or the ones who were keen to plant a garden. We exchanged and collected succulent leaves and cuttings. That's how our little collection got expanded. And there's no end in sight! Once you've started propagating succulents, you'll see it yourself.
