Ten succulents that are cheap, easy to grow, and prone to overflowing their pots before you know it

Succulents are so cute,

you can never have too many~

The following ten succulents

will overflow for you before you know it~

1

Orostachys boehmeri

Orostachys boehmeri is mainly propagated by cuttings. During the growing season, just pull off the small offsets of Orostachys boehmeri and place them on the soil surface, and they will root quickly. Of course, the offsets should be slightly larger, as this makes success easier. Single leaves can also be propagated; after the leaf grows larger and falls onto the soil, it can also take root and grow into a new plant if there is enough moisture.

2

Sedum dasyphyllum

Sedum dasyphyllum is commonly propagated by sowing, leaf cuttings, stem cuttings and division. Sowing: carried out from February to May, using indoor pot sowing; the suitable germination temperature is 18-21°C, and germination occurs 12-15 days after sowing. Cuttings can be taken throughout the year and root very easily, with spring and autumn being best; cut short shoots with compact top leaves, 5-7 cm long, insert them into a sand bed, keep the cutting medium slightly moist, and they will root 10-12 days after insertion. Leaf cuttings can also be used: scatter mature, plump fleshy leaves on a sand bed, spray water several times, and after a few weeks they will root from the leaf base and grow young plants.

3

Sedum hispanicum

Sedum hispanicum can be propagated by division when repotting; the method is to separate the clustered plants and plant them separately. It can also be propagated by cuttings during the growing season; there are no strict requirements for the length of the cuttings, and they will take root and survive once they touch soil.

4

Sempervivum tectorum

Sempervivum tectorum is commonly propagated by division. Generally, when temperatures are higher in spring and summer each year, divide the densely growing plants along the separation points of the underground tubers so that each part has 2-3 plants, then pot them separately. When dividing, injure the roots as little as possible; after potting, place them in a shady, humid environment, keep the potting soil constantly moist, and pay attention to misting the leaves to help the new plants recover growth. You can also dig out the underground tubers before the new buds sprout in spring, cut the tubers into sections, disinfect and preserve the wounds with plant ash or sulfur powder, let them dry slightly, then wrap them in sphagnum moss or place them in loose, well-ventilated and well-drained soil so that they grow adventitious roots and send out new buds.

5

Kalanchoe daigremontiana

Kalanchoe daigremontiana (air plant) is a succulent in the Crassulaceae family. There are very many varieties, but the cultivation methods are basically the same. Kalanchoe daigremontiana likes a warm, humid, sunny and well-ventilated environment. In winter, the temperature is best kept above 2 degrees so it can overwinter safely.

6

Sempervivum arachnoideum

Sempervivum arachnoideum is commonly propagated by leaf cuttings, stem cuttings and division. Sempervivum arachnoideum tends to form clusters, and propagation methods include sowing, division and beheading. Kite generally uses the division method to propagate. Kite's soil uses peat mixed with perlite plus coal cinders, roughly in a 1:1:1 ratio. To separate the plant from contact with the soil surface and to improve air permeability, Kite generally spreads clean granular river sand on top, with river sand size 3 to 5 mm.

7

Graptosedum 'Purple Rice'

Propagating Graptosedum 'Purple Rice' is relatively simple: put the fallen branches into soil and they will take root.

8

Senecio rowleyanus

Senecio rowleyanus, also known as string of pearls, can be propagated by cuttings. The stems and vines very easily produce aerial roots. In spring and autumn, cut off a few sections, bury half of them in sand or loose soil, keep them moist but not waterlogged, and they will root quickly for planting.

9

Sedum rubrotinctum

Sedum rubrotinctum is usually propagated by cuttings, and both stem cuttings and leaf cuttings can be used. For stem cuttings, use pruned branches, cut them into 5 cm stem sections, preferably air-dry them in a cool place for 3 to 5 days, and insert them into the seedbed after the cut surface is slightly dry. For leaf-cutting propagation, remove complete leaves from the stem (be careful not to damage the leaves), leave them for 3 days, then insert them. This method has a high propagation rate and is suitable for mass propagation, but the plants take shape relatively slowly.

10

Graptopetalum mendozae

Graptopetalum mendozae is a variety that is very easy to propagate. In spring and autumn (it can also be done in winter in areas north of the Yangtze River), twist off healthy, mature and complete leaves for cuttings. Place the leaves slightly tilted or flat on vermiculite, peat or coconut coir, keep them slightly damp, and they will soon root at the base and grow new buds. Once the new buds have grown somewhat larger, plant them separately and they become new plants. In addition, young plants sprouting beside the old plant can also be used for cuttings. Before cutting, let the cut dry, then shallowly bury the lower stem in sandy soil.
