The affected plant should be isolated and treated with mild succulent soap. Once the cut has healed and dried, stick the cuttings in a well-draining potting mix or lay the leaf cuttings flat. If you cut the cutting from both sides, the end closest to your root will always be thicker. It is the one to stick to. 3. The fourth day is the best time to take the cut and stick it in moistened soil. The stem cutting may not germinate or take too much time.

It is possible for roots to rot if they are left in too much water. You should not water your cuttings until you see tiny roots emerging from the soil. To prevent waterlogging, the pot must allow water to flow through it. Root rot can occur regardless of how porous the soil is.

But your plant can thrive in any kind of container, even if it isn't breathable. Even with tricky hybrids, your educated guesses can become more accurate over time.

These leaves naturally fall to the bottom of the plant. Leggy plants have a long stem with only a few leaves at its top. It can be propagated from seeds or branches and stem cuttings. When the leaf is fully developed, it often produces beautiful yellow flowers. They can sometimes be described as tasting like vanilla. The Silver Crown leaves can die and will need to be pruned from time-to-time. You can repot an Albuca Spiralis by gently taking it out of the pot. Then, gently shake it off, and if necessary, prune it. The Albuca Spiralis is another name for it, because its leaves have spirals at their ends. Frizzle Sizzle or Albuca Spiralis won't require repotted very often for at least the first two years. Because of growing roots, repotted plants may need to be repotted every few years. The best soil and containers for Euphorbia will ensure that the root system is as healthy as possible. Reasons for a more frequent repotting could be damaged leaves, discolored or softened stems or leaves, root rot, or even in a case where the plant has outgrown its current pot.
