Yield: 1
Equipment
- Sharp knife
Materials
- Stretched succulent plant
- Succulent potting soil
Instructions
- Cut off the succulent about 1/2 inch from the soil.
- Take the cut portion and remove the bottom leaves and set aside.
- After you remove the leaves cut the stem leaving the top portion and about 1 inch of bare stem.
- Let the bare stem sit out in a cool sunny spot and wait for it to grow roots.
- Once you see roots growing. Plant it back in the original pot and watch it grow.
Notes
The biggest reason for stretching is the lack of sun. If you can't find a sunny location add supplemental light for your succulent to enjoy.
