Portulacaria Afra Stem Propagation + 5-Week Update

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Portulacaria Afra-Elephant Bush is one the easiest succulent plants I have to propagate through stem cuttings. In this video, I show how I normally propagate my Elephant Bush using stem cuttings. I have a follow-up in the end to show how the cuttings are doing after 5 weeks. Rooting the cuttings took longer than anticipated possibly due to dormancy. We were in the middle of winter when I took the stem cuttings and it affected the speed of propagation.

    It’s a great plant. I took a piece of mine off of the main plant and I am going to try to make a little mame bonsai with it.

    I planted some in a recycle bin which I converted into a planter for succulents. One elephant's paintbrush plant is starting to take over and growing over an Echeveria. Took some cuttings from it haven't planted them yet.

    If you had very good draining soil then watering more often would be necessary. These plants do not like to sit in water but they cannot grow good healthy roots in dry soil either.

    I use a mix of pumice, perlite, a bit of pine bark and volcanic rock. It works great for me

    Also would any root hormone powder be beneficial??

    Hi I watered about once a week. I don’t normally use rooting hormone but yes, it should promote faster growth

    Do stem cutting get a new life span? Or does it just pick up from its original plant

    Once you take cuttings like these, if they start to root it’s basically a whole new plant/clone of the original and can grow to full size or even larger than the original plant you pulled from

    Hello I have two elephant bushes. They are my first and I’d like to send you a picture of one and you let me know if I need to cut the branches off. How can I send you a picture?

    it's personal preference really. if you think it's looking kinda scraggly and long, you can always snip it to a preferred length and grow those pieces as well

    I think your cuttings would root faster if you took most of the leaves off. Too much energy is going into maintaining the leaves. I've never seen propagating like this.

    Yes I was confused by this too. And not removing leaves from the bottom. How would one know how tall to make the cuttings propagate?
