Lay it atop potting soil in bright shade, and as the leaf shrivels, a baby plant will grow where stem meets leaf. The three stems that were cut did not turn brown after sitting in water for 6 weeks. After a year of growth, a small nursery plant will produce three to four cuttings that you can use for new plants. Be careful with these plants, which can be quite spiky. Plastic pots are not designed to allow water to flow through, which can be dangerous for some plants. Two-Spotted Spider Mites, on the contrary, are more yellowish-green in color and have two large, dark spots along their sides. Fancy ruffled echeverias---those large, flowerlike succulents---eventually need to be beheaded and the rosettes replanted. Kalanchoe Tomentosa, shown above, is growing a bit too tall. The result is that the rosettes rest on top of the denuded stalks. We plant-lovers have a better reason than that to remove succulent flowers. Thick stalks and large blossoms can exhaust small rosettes.

You can also cut the pot. You can continue to care for this plant the same as you were before making the cut.

The succulent plant family includes a cactus, which can survive on very little water because they store most of what they absorb under their skin. But keep in mind that the water has to go somewhere. Sticks on Fire can be toxic. When that time comes, there are some things that you will want to keep in mind. To delay the blooming, make sure you cut off the bloom stalk immediately.
