Propagating Mystery

15 years ago

What seems like months ago when I first started buying succulents I read an old post on this Board that said not to throw anything away because it would propagate and you'd have free plants. So, I had bought a couple of pots of plants...exactly what they are, I'm not totally sure of yet...but proceeded to chop the rosettes off to propagate and they all happily rooted. I set the mother plants off to the side. Some I had left some leaves on some had no leaves.

Well, one of them did sprout at the tip. What I can't figure out is why only one out of all the others that were cut sprouted. Granted, in this photo, only one stem has a leaf. The the ones with leaves on other plants did not sprout either.

Perhaps it is just a lucky happystance? Or perhaps it is where on the stem I cut it?

I've found a succulent society nearby that I can meet with when I am able to. I'm sure there will be wonderful people there that can give me advice about my climate and what will work best in my garden.

My wreaths are growing nicely and am figuring out how to deal with the problem of having planted tall and short plants where they should not be. And I now have enough plants to do the kissing balls this week too.
