Burro's Tail

I've been trying to get this Burro's Tail to root since I received it on 25th June! I first tried over water - nothing. Then I put it in a pot and, again, nothing. So it's going over water again ... I should have had another one or two more of these since, but the parcel hasn't arrived yet. I got part of the order nearly a month ago, but she sent two parcels ... no idea why, and not a great idea! At least it hasn't wilted, rotted or dried up, which might be a good sign.

Sedum Pachyphyllum


 Day TWO - 15 June 2019 ... after ONE DAY



 29 June 2019 - just look at those roots!



Have decided to put my Sedum Pachyphyllum leaves in soil. (The fat leaf in the centre, is a Little Jewel Red Tips - a pachyphytum). I'd never tried to propagate leaves before, but I'd a video on YouTube, where someone was propagating them, suspended over water, so thought I'd give it a go.  I was AMAZED to see roots after just ONE day, and they've been doing quite well over the past couple of weeks. Thought it was time to transfer them to a pot of soil, and hopefully that works, and they grow into healthy plants! I've misted the soil, and hope that was the right thing to do ...

I had these in water too - a burro's tail, string of bananas and string of hearts cuttings - but now that I have soil I've potted them up instead. I have two more string of hearts cuttings in the kitchen, and those are in water still. They're in a water bottle I brought home from Bianca's last week. 

I want a string of hearts plant, but the postage on eBay is twice as much as the price of a plant, so I'll wait to see them in a shop ... and then I'll grab 2 or 3 of them!
