Thank you! I was worried I was giving my babies too much water. I usually do a few spritzes to get the top soil moist, and then (since I only have a few) I use a little condiment bottle filled with water to water around the baby so that the water soaks down into the soil. I've lost 2 babies out of the 7 I started, but my other 5 are thriving!!!! I'm so happy 😊 I saved 2 succulents that were on my wedding bouquet. I cut a bit of their stems off and let them root over a glass of water then I planted them. 1 of the mommas isn't doing the best but it's still alive. The other one is doing great! Full and healthy with nice coloring to the tips, and it even sprouted 4 flower stalks!! In winter!!!! Now I have my 5 remaining babies so I can just keep propagating them and always have a piece of my wedding day with me 😁

Thank you for the tips , tips and more tips. You are awesome. God Bless you ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The question of when to water this place in Korea or the place or succulents, how much water should be given is the same~^^ I, too, are the subject of KZread videos, often dealing with the question of when and how to water.

You're reading my mind again LOL I was just wondering yesterday if I was watering my babies too much. The ones that have separated from the mother leaf. It would be such a shame to lose them at this point to root rot or something. I was just thinking all of this just yesterday!!! I would probably cry for days if I lost any of them at this point. Sometimes if they have very small Roots I will water The Roots just a little bit and then water around the roots more deeply to encourage the root growth. Is there any magic way to get roots to grow on a detached baby with no roots? And by the way thank you very much for giving us so many videos lately I'm just soaking it all in 😃

The pleasures all mine Janet. Just love sharing information with others. To encourage baby succs to root when they have no roots, I find that if the mother leaf has dried out, it's best to remove it and lay it on top of a moist coco peat and I mist/water it when I see the top layer's dry. But then again, it all depends on the specie and variety.

Hi Liz, I’ve never seen soil wetter used with succulents before. Do you use it just for the baby ones so that the soil doesn’t dry out so quickly? I recently did a tray of leaf propagations in soil. Would this also help them?

@GrowingSucculentswithLizK

Any soil will become hydrophobic after a while resulting in repelling the water instead of absorbing it.. Soil wetter as the name suggest increases the wettability of hard to wet soils, allowing deeper penetration of water into the roots and I use it on all my succulents.

I don't water often. I always water and then let the soil dries up completely and them water again. This is for mature plants. For babies, I water when the soil level where the roots are, are dry. Depends also where I keep the babies and how frequent the soil dries up. Sometimes everyday, sometimes once a week and sometimes once a month if they are out in the open and if we get a lot of rain.
