Various Leaves

This, I think, is from one of the plants from the GibralFlora arrangement ... That's my thumb, for size comparison.

This is Echeveria Lilacina (right) and Sedum Nussbaumerianum babies -

These are the Dabri Plants leaves, which I transferred to soil today - being over water to root didn't seem to be making rooting any faster. Some of them have little babies, and some have only roots. I've lost a few leaves, but fingers crossed for these.

The rest of the Dabri Plants leaves, which have been in this little pot for a couple of weeks. Again, a couple of little plants. The baby on the left is Graptoveria Fred Ives. 

Leaf Propagation

I had all the leaves in two trays, and they were taking up a lot of space on the floor, plus a couple of the leaves dried up, so I've decided to go a different route ... or routes.

There were quite a few which had no roots at all, or had tiny roots, and these I've put over water. It's worked very well before, so fingers crossed for these!

And these others have either long roots, but no babies, or babies but very few roots, so I've put these into a pot of my succulents mix. If they didn't take so long to arrive I would order more, but some of these suffered a lot on the journey. We'll see how many plants I manage to propagate and grow into healthy plants.

The little pot I've used for propagating those leaves used to hold a citronella candle, which I've had for many years, and never used, as it was for outdoor use. I spent a while the other day, softening the wax with hot water, scraping wax, until I finally got a useable pot. I want to use it for an adult plant later on. It's quite shallow, but some of the succulents have very short root systems, so I guess it can work.

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!
