How to root Dudleya? Succulent rooting tips shared

Dudleya rooting tips:Dudleya rooting needs lots of water, absolutely lots of water. Three to five days after potting, give it a full soaking with a big ladle of water. Placing it in soft light is fine too, as long as ventilation is good enough. As long as it is grown outdoors, just set it aside and leave it alone. After a week or five days, come back and take a look, heft the pot, and well, the soil is all dry, so give it another big ladle of water, and then go do whatever you need to do. Just like this, if it is a good season with weather that is neither hot nor cold, it will definitely root in half a month to a month.

Also, please, don't dig it up all the time to check whether roots have formed. We need time to adapt when we go to a new environment, let alone plants. It is putting all its effort into rooting, and if you pull it out, all the energy stored up earlier is wasted. Then it has to start over, which is very tiring, so this is what we should do: full gritty mix, breathable pot, lots of water for rooting, water thoroughly when completely dry, and rooting will be no worry.

After Dudleya has rooted and its growth has stabilized, start slowly controlling water. The Dudleya's leaf shape is neat and compact, and only then is it beautiful. Too much water makes it leggy and elongated; becoming leggy is easy, but getting it back under control is hard, so you must control the water a bit. Slowly the old leaves are consumed layer by layer, piling up on the stem as layer upon layer of dead leaves, and compared with the red leaves it looks very weathered, yet the delicate red is eye-catching. This is the beauty of Dudleya.As for dead leaves, keep some if possible, in order to protect the fresh leaves。
