The lower leaves of your succulents will begin to dry out over time and eventually die. Your Kalanchoe's health will depend on what kind of water you use. You may prefer slow-release fertilizer pellets rather than liquid plant food. Dracaenas are not the type of plants that require fertilization at all. They can spread diseases and rot to other plants. It can reduce the beauty of their vibrant colors and even encourage other diseases and pests to grow. Haworthia.turgida cannot withstand temperatures below 30°F (-1.1°C). If you live in a region that experiences colder temperatures, it's best that this succulent be placed in a container that can easily be moved indoors. You can help your succulent to grow best by removing the leaves from time-to-time. For this method, you will need to clean special gardening sheers and remove one leaf from the parent plant.

You want to make sure that your scissors and shears are clean before you begin pruning. This will prevent your succulents getting a disease. It is a common mistake to plant succulents in a pot. The pot was too wide and too deep. The one shown here has a bamboo archway. You might also like these minimalistic ceramic pots. Are you ready to repot your succulent plants? The wreath will be assembled in the next week. For now, the cuttings are on a piece wood with paper towels so that I can water them. It looks great! The base plants will eventually grow new growth, so you can leave them in your arrangement. The base plant was not doing well so I pulled it out. I also pulled out Crassulaperforata (off to the side in this picture). I was almost dizzy when I took them out from the box.

There are many different types of succulents, and I was unaware of the fact that there were so many. I find leaf propagation a little trickier and takes a lot more time. I've been seeing many beautiful living wreaths lately. I decided to make one for my front door. If you are using a cutting with a curving end, you might consider cutting it so that the end is straight to be placed in the soil. When I use cuttings, I prefer straight stems. Water propagation, in short, is the use of water as a medium for rooting succulent cuttings. If your roots only have a few root strands and the solid begins to crumble, it is not well established. I am anxious for them to root. However, it won't hurt if they root a bit before the wreath can be assembled. The Cotelydontomentosa (Crassula perforata) and Crassula sacra were a bit too much.

They have a slot to slide your hand into while the palm side is fitted with 3 cm long bristles that ensure optimal interlocking with the spines of the cacti. Crested Euphorbia don't have special soil requirements, other than what is required for most succulents. We hoped that euphorbia stenoclada would find a home in your home and we could help you take better care of it. There are times, as you saw above, when repotting will actually be better for your plants and will give them a chance to spread out and grow more. It's a great time to review your succulent arrangements, and perhaps give them some repotting. If you find anything that needs some attention or additional plants, please let me know. I have high expectations for this wreath and it may take me a while to decide how to arrange it. A Baseball plant can grow to a height of 6-15 cm. Always protect your plant during intense sunlight. Keep your plant in bright indirect light for as long as possible. It will continue to thrive until it is time to be pruned.

Give it a good drench and wait for the soil to dry out before doing so again. Give the arrangement a final inspection after adding the top dressing. They can be stored indoors all year round. My succulents are pruned in spring, after they've been indoors during winter. Ponytail Palm is more inclined to succulents because of its ability to store water inside its bulbous trunk. This is a great option to get more plants. Allow the arrangement to dry out for at least one day. This will allow the roots to adjust and heal. The next step is to finish off the arrangement by adding a top dressing. Consider adding a Sansevieria plant to your living area or office. Take a look at the before/afters in the video below to see how removing dead leaves and adding top dressing made a huge difference for these arrangements. You will soon see new leaves from your cuttings after your propagation has succeeded. Daniel was kind enough to send me cuttings about a year before I did. They are only 1/4in tall even after the first season of planting.
