Hello Everyone, this is Sheila, and this video is Part 3 on How to Propagate Succulents and
we are talking about propagation by Division.
At the end of this video, you will be able to propagate succulents that you can cut into
pieces or smaller units, and succulents that grow as one dense, compact mounds into several
new mounds.
So, let's proceed.
Tip Number 1, succulents that you can tear or cut into sections propagate really well
by dividing them into smaller units.
A very good example of this is this Christmas Cactus or Holiday Cactus.
Just look at the root system on this tiny guy.
Let me just replant this baby gently and I'll be showing you how I propagated this in Tip
Number 2.
We just have to make sure that he is safely back in his home again.
So, Tip Number 2, for succulents that can be divided into sections, you just have to
simply pull off one section of this plant and you'll have a new growing plant.
Let's pull off another section to show you how easy it is.
And then, simply insert one section halfway into the soil and you're done.
And this leads me to Tip Number 3, which is, like cuttings, you don't have to wait for
it to callous over, but you have to make sure that the soil you are planting it in is dry.
Tip Number 4, like cuttings, watering is after two weeks.
Tip Number 5, never leave the newly planted section outside.
Since a section has no root system, it is very prone to burning.
And premature rain, frost and snow can lead to rotting.
Tip Number 6, another way propagate succulents by division is to simply divide a mound of
succulents, like this Sedum Tiny Urchin into smaller mounds and soon this mound will start
to thicken and expand.
In this video, I will also show you how to propagate by chopping one single unit into
multiple pieces and they will all become new plants.
I'm also showing you updates on all of these propagations in a bit.
So Tip Number 7, another way to propagate succulents by division is to cut one single
unit into multiple pieces and you'll have more of it.
This works on this Epiphyllum.
These guys were given to me and although they are not as healthy as they should be, I think
they can still pull through.
In fact, this one right here also had a rough start and it took about 9 months before it
started shooting these pups, but see how now she has two.
This tall one and this short one are her pups.
This type of propagation also works on Snake Plants.
Since, I'm not sure why these guys are looking so sick, I'm spraying it with alcohol before
dividing them into pieces.
So, to propagate this Epiphyllum, we just need to cut about 4 to 6 inches of the leaves,
like so and you have several new plants.
Let me just cut off this sick part, but I might actually plant this part, too just to
give it a chance.
In my experience, practically every part of these succulent are willing to survive, so
might as well give this guy a chance.
So, at this point, we are just making sure that the soil is fast-draining enough and
I have a future video about improving drainage, so make sure to hit that subscribe button
and hit the bell icon, so you won't miss any of these videos.
So now, we will just start sticking these guys into the soil, about two to three inches
deep to make sure that they are stable enough.
By the way, Part 4 is all about mommies and baby succulents propagations and offshoots,
so again, remember to hit the subscribe button and the bell icon so you won't miss it.
In case you missed Part 1 and Part 2 of this Series on How to Propagate Succulents, I have
links in the description down below and that's along with the list of the things that I used
in this video.
And here's the update on the Sedum Tiny Urchin.
So, from one single mound, I now have 3 growing mounds.
For the Christmas Cactus, here's the mother plant with fresh new sections growing that
we can soon propagate again, and new ones with new tiny sections sprouting on all of
them.
And here's the Epiphyllum that's starting to get a healthier green color.
As you can see, they are really springing back to life.
Let's carefully dig out one piece, 'cause the roots on these guys are probably still
really fine at this point.
I really encourage you to conduct your own experiments.
Do your research and make intelligent guesses and estimates, and learn from experience.
Which leads me to my message for you today, which is "mistakes are proof that you are
trying."
Trying is better than not doing anything at all.
Be willing to fail over and over and over again until you get it right.
This is true not just for growing succulents, but with our goals in life, too.
Be willing to take the risk.
It is better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all.
And again, mistakes are proof that you are trying.
Thank you, this is Sheilah again, your person on a mission, for Succulent Fame.
Sending inspirations your way with every succulent.
