Remember these few points for succulent cuttings: no rot, no mold, and a high survival rate

When you're out and about and see someone else's succulents looking so beautiful, you may want to break off a few leaves and grow some yourself. But do you know how to propagate succulents so they don't rot or get moldy? So below, I'll share a few things to note when propagating succulents.

First, when taking leaves, it's important to pick them from vigorous plants. When the plant is relatively dry, the leaves come off more easily. Just hold the leaf and gently wiggle it side to side, and the leaf will quickly fall off.

Second, prepare the soil. The soil needs to be exposed to sunlight for 3 to 5 days to achieve sterilization. If conditions allow, you can also scald it with boiling water, or use a microwave to heat it, to disinfect and sterilize the soil.

Doing this effectively prevents the leaves from rotting black during the propagation process. Third, lay the leaves flat on the medium. Leaves have a front and back side, so be careful to keep the front side facing up.

Keep the leaves as close to the soil as possible, but they don't need to be buried in the soil. After leaf propagation, place the pot in a ventilated environment without direct sun exposure, spray a small amount of water, and then you can wait with peace of mind for the new succulents to grow.
