This book you will learn exactly how to multiply succulents from leaf or stem cuttings, step by step. The best time to propagate succulents is during the spring and summer months. That’s because this is their most active growing period, so they will root much faster. Succulents aren't just a unique design statement—they're also a great choice for beginner plant parents or folks with busy schedules. While these desert plants thrive in lots of sunlight, their thick and fleshy leaves retain water, so they can withstand infrequent watering. Can't get enough of these hearty beauties? If you want to multiply your succulent collection on the cheap, try reproducing your own through propagation, or growing a new plant through the leaf or stem of an existing "mother" succulent. The succulent is one of nature’s most efficient plants, and one of the easiest to propagate. It’s a type of “xerophyte,” a shallow-rooted wonder that thrives in dry climates and stores water in fat, fleshy leaves and stems. Succulents come in an extensive variety of textures, colors, shapes, and sizes.
