RE: More Succulents

in #gardening5 years ago

I love that you were able to print a self-watering planter! Cool!
Are you really supposed to lay down the leaves like that? I thought you were supposed to stand them up in the dirt. But then I've not propogated succulents via cuttings before.

Sort:  

Right?!
The leaves, yes. Just one leaf will propagate itself by producing roots at the end of it until finally it gets more leaves and becomes a baby plant. To transplant a baby plant you stick the whole thing in the soil upright.

The leaves though are the coolest thing I've seen. Just sitting on moist soil for a month or so will prompt it to survive by making more leaves to get water faster. Nature is so badass. 😎😍
