How to behead/top succulents to get more plants

Ойын-сауық

There is a right and wrong way to behead or top succulents if you're after more plants. Doing it the wrong is likely to result in the bottom part of the plant dying.
A couple of months ago i cut the tops off 3 plants. One had a leaf left behind on the bottom, root part but the remaining two did not. In this video i'll show you what the result of this seemingly minor thing was.
Beheading a succulent can give you anywhere between 2-8 new plants but it can also give you nothing at all.

    Just goes to show how gardening/plants have so many variables. Ive topped many of my echeverias and yes leaving a few leaves is always better. However I've cut lots without leaving any leaves and they do produce more heads but the ones with leaves get more and faster. I love your videos. Always excited to see a new one 😊 💚💚💚 thank you. Oh but aeoniums dont produce if you cut all the leaves off tho in my experience.

    Now I understand why a few of my succulent stalks are not making new shoots. I’ll leave a few leaves from now on. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    glad you clarified about lovely rose, i've been reluctant to chop as i love them so much and wasn't sure what to do ( i was so excited when i finally was able to buy one). Can't wait to get more propagating them

    It's such a tricky little plant- some do branch out but most just end up on a single tall stalk 😅 But it is also so pretty i don't mind doing the extra maintenance💚

    Great information. Thanks! Also was able to identify my Echeveria 'Blue Bird' that I grew from a leaf propagation.

    thank you for clarifying that single stalk will most likely die if chopped unless it is part of a multi stalk plant...i did not realize that ...and i have been playing with succulents for a few years..😕🌱..

    Thank you Kat for this wonderful video. Im guessing the beheading should be done only in its growing season like the lovely rose in winter? Or even dormant succulents root/put out pups as well but slowly?

    oop, i forgot to mention that- i'll be doing a video on it today. But yes, definitely in the growing season 🙂
