Quick question concerning propagation.

10 years ago

Hi!

To save people some time, I will pose the question up front:

When propagating succulents, what should the light conditions look like? Am I to give the cuttings the same light as a regular specimen, or less?

I recently received a few succulents from friends, which consisted of a few very nice jades, but also a couple of etiolated plants. I don't know the exact identity of the succulents, but from what I've seen here on the forum, one looked like a stretched Echeveria 'Black Prince', and the other, I really have no idea, but it may have some grapto in it. I promptly beheaded both plants, and got a few nice heads as well as a bunch of free leaves, which are currently set up to callous. I am hoping to plant the cuttings tomorrow (the third day of callousing; the leaves will sit until roots show), and wish for ya'll's opinion on this.

Thanks so much! (You all are the best!)
