How Do You Propagate Succulents? Five Common Varieties You Should Not Miss

Succulents are easy to propagate. Generally speaking, the leaves of succulents can all be propagated by leaf cuttings, and succulents are also fairly easy to keep alive. As long as you remember the three-word rule of "water less," you can grow them beautifully. So where should a newcomer start with growing succulents? You cannot miss the five succulents below.

1. Huangli (Sedum adolphi 'Golden Glow')

Huangli is very attractive, though its color is not as yellow as you might imagine, just a pale yellow. It also grows side branches quickly and can be pruned into shape.

2. Heyelian (Echeveria 'Lotus')

Heyelian, as the name suggests, is named Heyelian because it looks like a lotus. The color of its leaves changes with the seasons, and when there is plenty of sunlight, a red edge appears along the edges of the leaves.

3. Ruby (Sedum 'Ruby')

Ruby is just like a red gem. It needs light, and the color of its fleshy leaves changes with the seasonal temperature and the intensity of the light, turning red or green.

4. Jiyulu (Haworthia cooperi)

Jiyulu looks a bit ugly at first, but over time you will find that it becomes more and more beautiful and more and more crystal-clear.
