Nice video. In my experience with succulents in general, you should allow leaves and cuttings to sit out in the air for a few days before planting. This allows for the cut end to scab over and helps them not to rot. When I've tried planting right away, I get up to 50% loss due to rot.

Q: I recently bought a very similar looking succulent (I don’t know the name), and it’s definitely become “leggy”. I will try this, but my question is, is it going to make a significant difference if my only light source is a huge - East facing window? I have about 70 plants all kinda crammed in front of this window (it’s 20’ across), and they’re all doing magnificently. And they’re all sorts, but this is my first succulent. I know they like lots of indirect light, but will east facing be enough? I thought maybe that was why it’s become leggy.

@@wipqueen715 Succulents do become leggy because of not enough light. If you noticed your succulent becoming leggy after placing it in front of the window, then it is just not enough light for it. I personally keep my succulents under an artificial light because my windows don't get enough to make them happy. If you are thinking about adding some lights to your plants, don't bother with buying grow lights- just get some full spectrum (daylight) LED lights. So much cheaper and work well!

It would be cool if you would show how they look after a couple of weeks. By the way, in the name of my plants and my own, I thank you for this channel. It's great!

You do not have to cut it because they have they have the potential to grow into a small tree. I have a Mexican flame succulent that grew into a tree in several years and it has clusters of leaves coming out of branches that is quite stunning.

I have started to repot mine into hanging baskets. As the stems get longer, the head starts to grow downward. Then the bare stem starts to grow baby plants.

Sister just gave me some of this sedum, fingers crossed that it goes better 🙏

Great video, I would love to see how they turned out. Mine get super leggy and weird but that's why we like them. One experiment I tried was removing one or two leaves from near the top. Not to replant. I wanted to see if a new plant would branch and it did. I love the symmetry of them but also the random weirdness of how they grow. I get to grow them outdoors in my climate so I don't know how it would work in Sheffield or other climate not native to them. All kudos to you for your videos. They are a great help.
