New Growth from Cuttings

Sedum Dendroideum
 Variety of Jade

As mentioned in my previous posts, succulents can either be propagated from small cuttings, leaf cuttings, or from "pupping" - which is where the mother plant will start to sprout new babies, or "pups", directly from the base of the plant.

These are 2 of my cuttings that have taken root! As you can see, even the smallest little cutting will want to grow and become its own plant! It took about 2-3 weeks before I saw any new growth, but eventually these little roots started to poke out! Now they are their own plants and should be watered as any normal succulent - watering only when the soil is completely dry.
