PLANT A LEAF

-

Here’s how you can propagate succulents from leaf cuttings

1 PEEL leaves off carefully so that the base is left intact. Allow the base to dry out for a few days before planting.

2 FILL a small pot with regular potting mix. Gently push the leaf bases about 2cm into the mix.

3 PLACE the pot in a sheltered spot. Water whenever the mix has dried out. Roots should form in a few weeks, then you can pot them on into bigger pots or garden beds.
