New Succulent Propagation Method: A Detailed Guide to Water Rooting Techniques

Every living thing in nature must follow natural laws. This is especially true for succulents that live in arid regions - who can help fallen leaves or stems with cuttings? Of course, as indoor succulent growers, in order to achieve better results with your plants, you can consider using the water rooting method for growing succulents.

First, let's look at the benefits of water rooting: it is clean and tidy, and less prone to black rot. Of course, whether it is leaf cuttings or stem cuttings of succulents, water rooting is an excellent rooting method. Of course, we can also prepare in advance a piece of gauze, a pair of scissors, a rubber band and an empty bottle.

Steps: First find an empty bottle (preferably the narrow-necked type used for growing hyacinths hydroponically), then pour a certain amount of clean water into the bottle, then use gauze to rest the succulent part that needs to root above the bottle opening, and secure it tightly with a rubber band (keep a distance of one cm between the succulent and the water surface), but it must not touch the water in the bottle.

When growing, it is best to place the glass bottle in a ventilated, shady environment. Once the succulent grows more aerial roots (aerial roots are grown to adapt to the environment), it can be transplanted for growing (if you want to grow succulents hydroponically, you must first choose water-loving succulent varieties for water rooting).

Finally, a reminder: if you insist on water rooting, try to use a narrow-necked bottle like the ones used for hydroponic hyacinths.
