Succulents propagate fast in spring, easily turning you into a succulent magnate

In every succulent grower's heart, there is a dream of becoming a "magnate," though we cannot fill a greenhouse with succulents of every color like the greenhouse owners do. But as long as our beloved succulents can fill the balcony, we are perfectly content! Want to instantly become a succulent magnate this spring? Then these 10 succulents below are really worth a look!

1. Sedum dasyphyllum & Sedum dasyphyllum 'Major'

Sedum dasyphyllum is one of the easiest succulents to fill a pot. Although it belongs to the pot-covering grass series, it is also extremely easy to color up and fill a pot when planted on its own. A Sedum dasyphyllum in good condition shows a red-and-blue alternating color, and its chubby leaves make it look very cute. Sedum dasyphyllum can be propagated by leaf cuttings, or by beheading and division. Leaf cuttings make it even easier to fill a pot!

2. Graptopetalum mendozae & Graptopetalum mendozae 'Maruba'

Because Graptopetalum mendozae is easy to propagate and easy to fill a pot, it has become a beautiful succulent that almost every grower owns. The pale pink color it shows when in good condition also fascinates many people. Propagating Graptopetalum mendozae is also very simple: just pick healthy leaves and place them on the soil, and they will quickly take root and sprout. If you pick enough leaves, you can form a pot-filling display in a short time.

3. Orostachys boehmeri & Echeveria 'Lotus' (Zichi Bailian)

Orostachys boehmeri is also a very easy-to-fill-pot cute succulent. Orostachys boehmeri, of the genus Orostachys, can be propagated by dividing side shoots. Cut off a side shoot about the size of a coin and lay it flat or insert it into the soil, and it will quickly take root. So if you want a pot of Orostachys boehmeri that fills the pot, you have to be ruthless and keep trimming the side shoots. Echeveria 'Lotus' (Zichi Bailian), of the genus Echeveria, propagates somewhat more slowly than Orostachys boehmeri, but it is also very easy to fill a pot. One more thing to note: Orostachys boehmeri dies after flowering, so remember to cut off the flower stalk when it blooms.

4. Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' & Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' 'Maruba'

Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' is also a great succulent that easily fills a pot, an outstanding one among pot-covering grasses. It has tenacious vitality and can grow rapidly until it fills the pot. Its low price and golden-yellow color have also made it popular with most succulent growers. Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' 'Maruba', like Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun', very easily fills a pot, and both are propagated by division. You can cut off sturdy branches and stick them into the soil, and they will quickly multiply and grow.

5. Sedum rubrotinctum (and its variegated form) & Sedum rubrotinctum 'Red Berry'

Both Sedum rubrotinctum and Sedum rubrotinctum 'Red Berry' can fill a pot in a short time, and both are propagated by leaf cuttings. These two succulents have a high success rate with leaf cuttings, are very easy to grow, and look very beautiful when in good condition. If you usually control watering well and increase sunlight, they will show extremely rich colors. However, for Sedum rubrotinctum 'Red Berry', Paopao recommends beheading propagation even more, as this will sprout many side shoots that look very beautiful.

6. Sedum hispanicum & Sedum hispanicum 'Major'

Also a classic pot-covering grass series, easy to propagate. Behead it or just leave it alone and it will also form a large cluster, a pot-filling tool!

7. Sedum 'Little Ball Rose' & Sedum 'Little Ball Rose' variegated

A succulent that has barely risen above the pot-covering grass rank. Although the plant is not large, when in good condition it looks like little roses. Growing a pot of it into a clustered colony still gives a great sense of achievement. Its variegated variety, Sedum 'Little Ball Rose' variegated, is just like Sedum 'Little Ball Rose' and is also extremely easy to propagate. Both can be propagated by cutting off sturdy branches for cuttings.

8. Sedum 'Little Wild Rose' & Sempervivum

Sedum 'Little Wild Rose' is also a great succulent that easily fills a pot. After growing it for a period of time, it will sprout many side shoots. Propagation is generally done by dividing side shoots, but through Paopao's experiments it can also be propagated by leaf cuttings. If you want Sedum 'Little Wild Rose' to color up, you must control watering. If watered too much, the whole plant will turn to mush or grow into a very unconventional-looking form, a huge contrast. Many varieties of Sempervivum also love to fill pots, the most common being Sempervivum tectorum, which almost everyone owns. It is simply a pup-producing machine! When someone comes to your home to see your succulents, wouldn't it be lovely to just pinch off a side shoot and give it to them?

9. Graptosedum 'Bronze' & Graptoveria 'Titubans'

Graptosedum 'Bronze' can be said to be one of the easiest succulents to propagate. Although it is a very common variety, its year-round purple leaves are also deeply loved by many succulent growers. It is worth mentioning that Graptosedum 'Bronze' is a succulent relatively easy to grow into an old stump, and after growing into an old stump its shape is also very enchantingly graceful. Propagation is mostly by leaf cuttings. You can lay healthy leaves in a flower pot for leaf cuttings, and they can quickly grow into a clustered, pot-filling cute succulent. Graptoveria 'Titubans' is also, like Graptosedum 'Bronze', a succulent in which basically every leaf can succeed with leaf cuttings. Wanting to fill a pot is just that simple!

10. Kalanchoe daigremontiana or Kalanchoe daigremontiana 'Wide Leaf'

Kalanchoe daigremontiana is also called "landing root." Basically, anyone who has grown succulents knows its great name. Kalanchoe daigremontiana 'Wide Leaf' is one of its varieties, only with relatively wider leaves. Because the leaves show red edges after sufficient sunlight, Taobao sellers even gave it a new name, "Lace Princess."

The adventitious buds growing on the leaf edges of Kalanchoe daigremontiana fall into the soil and quickly grow into a new individual, and can quickly cover the entire flower pot. So it fills a pot extremely quickly. Of course, if managed improperly, it can also become a disaster. It is worth mentioning that the adventitious buds growing from the leaves of variegated Kalanchoe daigremontiana will quickly die after growing up because of too much variegation. So if you like Kalanchoe daigremontiana but do not like it growing too much and too fast, you can choose to buy variegated Kalanchoe daigremontiana.
