Superb Succulents
Growing Succulents
Succulents are favored as houseplants for their attractiveness and ease
of care.If properly potted, succulents require little maintenance to
survive indoors. Succulents are very adaptable houseplants and will
thrive in a range of indoor conditions.
For most plant owners, over-watering and associated infections are
the main cause of death in succulents.
Succulents can be propagated by different means. The most common is
vegetative propagation; this includes cuttings where several inches of
stem with leaves are cut and after healing, produce a callus. After a
week or so, roots may grow. A second method is division consisting of
uprooting an overgrown clump and pulling the stems and roots apart.
A third method is propagation by leaf by allowing the formation of a
callus. During this method, a bottom leaf is fully removed from the
plant often by twisting or cutting. The leaf then dries out and a callus
forms preventing the leaf from absorbing too much moisture and thus
rotting. This method typically takes up to a few weeks to produce
healthy roots that would eventually create new plants. The vegetative
propagation can be different according to the species.
