Some prolific puppers

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Haws seems to pup well - at least more 'common' varieties. Here is a pot of (what I think is) H. venosa var. tesselata. Potted this small clump into bigger pot in May 2019. They were in 4" square pot, 2.5" deep. New pot is 6"round, 4" deep. There are 19 new pups that I can see right now:

Please show plants that pups well for you :)

    Gasterias are pupping well too. Original plant in 2016:

    Here it is about 3mo after divisions taken - has many new pups already and I repotted it into 6" pot.. Small pups were potted into 2" peat pots (photo taken in July 2019):

    Few bigger pups were potted into 4" pots, and they already grew many pups too (photo taken week ago):

    Do you feed them, Rina?

    I might pluck some and start them in small pots in the spring. I was never sure how to do it without damaging the pup. Cut or just twist?

    Hi Socks,

    You can cut or twist off, either one. I just make sure to leave a nice piece of root on the pups. I grow both Haws & Gasterias, but so far only experienced separating off the pups on my Haws.

    If Rina doesn't mind, here's one I separated myself from a potbound one I'd bought. They were packed tightly together in a 3 inch pot. I potted up the parent separately & made another pot of the babies.

    Here, I found 'em.

    Seems this was last March & I see I had just watered. I don't usually water ON the plants like that, yikes what was I thinking ;>).

    No, I do not feed them. BUT I probably should - at least that is what many say. They grow so well thou, I do not think I will. I have to admit that I hardly ever fertilize succulents.

    I unpotted whole clump of gasteria, and pulled off some pups. Most had roots, at least some. Here is photo of few as I started:


    Haws in op were not separated. They were just repotted.

    Here is another haw that has been very prolific - H. attenuata. I just pulled many offshoots off, no roots. They were stuck into mix, and just about all rooted. Here are some photos:

    Original plant - offsets to be pulled off:




    Some of the pots:


    (They are much bigger now, ready for more dividing if I want - these were divided 2yrs ago).

    Karen, Rina...thank you. I’ll try it when the weather changes.

    Another good pupper is Alworthia 'Walmsley's Bronze' variegata . I have propagated them with some roots and also rootless:


    (There is a pot with hawortia pups in upper right):


    Original plant purchased in 2013 was much more variegated:


    There is some variegation showing in some offsets/pups, most visible in middle photo:
    (I have few more pots now.)

    Some Aloes and most all Haworthia pups so crazy that I leave alone. If I re-pot and separate them, what to do with all the pups?












    I have tons more that I don't have current pictures of. And so far just the Aloaceae.
