Top ten succulent varieties recommended: cheap, easy to care for, and quick to fill a pot

Succulents are so cute,

you can never have too many of them~

Here are ten succulents,

they will easily overflow their pots for you to see~

1

Orostachys boehmeri

Orostachys boehmeri is mainly propagated by cuttings. During the growing season, just pull off the small offsets of Orostachys boehmeri and place them on the soil surface, and they will quickly take root. Of course, the offsets should be slightly larger, which makes success easier. Single leaves can also be propagated; after the leaves grow larger and fall onto the soil, they can also take root and grow into new plants if there is enough moisture.

2

Sedum dasyphyllum

Sedum dasyphyllum is commonly propagated by sowing, leaf cuttings, stem cuttings and division. Sowing: carried out from February to May, using indoor pot sowing. The suitable germination temperature is 18-21°C, and germination occurs 12-15 days after sowing. Cuttings can be taken throughout the year and root very easily, with spring and autumn being best. Cut short shoots with compact terminal leaves, 5-7 cm long, insert them into a sand bed, keep the cutting medium slightly moist, and they will root 10-12 days after insertion. Leaf cuttings can also be used: scatter mature, plump fleshy leaves on a sand bed, spray with water several times, and after a few weeks they will root from the base of the leaf and produce young plants.

3

Sedum hispanicum

Sedum hispanicum can be propagated by division when repotting; the method is to separate the clustered plants and plant them individually. Cuttings can also be taken during the growing season. There are no strict requirements for the length of the cuttings; they will take root and survive as soon as they touch soil.

4

Sempervivum tectorum

Sempervivum tectorum is commonly propagated by division. Generally, when temperatures are higher in spring and summer each year, divide the densely growing plants along the separation points of the underground tubers, so that each part has 2-3 plants, then pot them separately. When dividing, try to damage the roots as little as possible. After potting, place them in a shaded and humid environment, keep the potting soil constantly moist, and pay attention to misting the leaves to help the new plants recover growth. You can also dig out the underground tubers before new buds sprout in spring, cut the tubers into sections, disinfect and preserve the wounds with plant ash or sulfur powder, let them dry slightly, then wrap them in sphagnum moss, or place them in loose, well-aerated and well-drained soil so they grow adventitious roots and send out new buds.

5

Kalanchoe daigremontiana

Kalanchoe daigremontiana (air plant) is a succulent in the Crassulaceae family. There are very many varieties, but the cultivation methods are basically the same. Kalanchoe daigremontiana likes a warm, humid, sunny and well-ventilated environment. In winter, the temperature is best kept above 2°C so it can overwinter safely.

6

Sempervivum arachnoideum

Sempervivum arachnoideum can be propagated by commonly used leaf cuttings, stem cuttings and division. Sempervivum arachnoideum tends to form clusters. Propagation methods include sowing, division and beheading. Kite generally uses the division method to propagate. Kite's soil uses peat mixed with perlite and added coal cinders, roughly in a ratio of 1:1:1. To separate the plant from contact with the soil surface and to improve aeration, Kite generally spreads clean granular river sand on top, with a particle size of 3 to 5 mm.

7

Sedum rubrotinctum 'Aurora'

Sedum rubrotinctum 'Aurora' is relatively simple to propagate; put the fallen branches into soil and they will take root.

8

Senecio rowleyanus

Senecio rowleyanus, also known as string of pearls, can be propagated by cuttings. The stems and vines easily produce aerial roots. In spring and autumn, cut off a few segments, bury half of them in sand or loose soil, and keep them moist but not waterlogged; they will soon take root and be ready for planting.

9

Sedum rubrotinctum

Sedum rubrotinctum is usually propagated by cuttings, either stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. For stem cuttings, use pruned branches, cut them into 5 cm stem sections, and it is best to dry them in a shaded place for 3 to 5 days. After the cut surface is slightly dry, insert them into the seedling bed. For leaf cutting propagation, remove complete leaves from the stem (be careful not to damage the leaves), leave them for 3 days, then insert them for cuttings. This method has a high propagation rate and is suitable for mass propagation, but the plants take shape more slowly.

10

Graptopetalum mendozae

Graptopetalum mendozae is a very easy variety to propagate. In spring and autumn (it can also be done in winter in areas north of the Yangtze River), twist off healthy, mature and complete leaves for cuttings. Place the leaves slightly tilted or flat on vermiculite, peat or coconut coir, keep them slightly moist, and they will soon take root at the base and grow new buds. When the new buds have grown a little larger, plant them separately and they will become new plants. In addition, young plants sprouting beside the old plant can also be used for cuttings. Before cutting, let the cut surface dry, then shallowly bury the lower end of the stem in sandy soil.
