So this past weekend, my sister-in-law, Kristen, shared this tutorial from Needles + Leaves with me and I had to stop everything rightthatsecond and attempt it.
I had a "leggy" succulent that was starting to outgrow itself so I followed the tutorial and carefully plucked off the leaves.
And layed them with the tiny top rosettes on VERY dry cactus soil.
And then I cut the stems off my original plant.
If all goes according to plan in a few weeks I should have tiny sprouts on my original plant stems, my rosettes should begin to grow roots and each leaf should develop it's own little florette at the base. And then, just like the tutorial recommends, I should be able to re-plant all of those (probably in the backyard).
I have experimented with this before and not had too much success - BUT this sort of thing happens in my backyard with my non-maintained jade plant all the time (see above!). I wonder if I'll be able to duplicate the magic inside? I'll keep you posted...
ps... potted succulent thank you favors, a DIY wooden plant stand and my jade plant succulent wreath.
