Mastering the Art of Propagating and Repotting Miniature Succulents

Step 1: Choose a Healthy Parent Plant

Select a healthy miniature succulent as your parent plant. It should be free from any signs of disease or pests.

Step 2: Remove the Leaf or Stem Cutting

Carefully remove a leaf or stem cutting from the parent plant. Ensure the cut is clean and avoid damaging the parent plant.

Step 3: Let the Cutting Dry

Allow the cutting to dry for a few days until a callus forms over the cut surface. This helps to prevent rot when the cutting is planted.

Step 4: Plant the Cutting

Plant the dried cutting in a pot filled with a well-draining soil mix. The callused end should be slightly buried in the soil.

Step 5: Water Sparingly

Water the new plant sparingly until it starts to grow. Overwatering can lead to rot and other issues.

Step 6: Repotting the Miniature Succulent

Once your new plant has established roots, it's time to repot. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one and fill it with a well-draining soil mix. Make a hole in the center, place your plant in, and gently cover the roots with soil.
