I took some leaf cuttings from three overgrown succulent plants my dil was given. We don't know what they are. I did some research but still not sure of their identity. I'd like to know if I can grow them as houseplants so I need to know how best to care for them. Thanks. Possible Kalanchoe? My dil's cutting is growing babies! Possible Graptopetalum Amythest? My leaf cuttings Not sure if my leaf cuttings will grow since after I took them I found out they are supposed to have the 'U' shape at the base which I didn't know so I'm not sure if I should get new cuttings. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
They may root like that but I just stick the lower end of the leaf into the soil slightly. The one on the lower right is fine. I have seen all these but have no idea what they are called.
Thanks Mart! Your method is what I'm used to and I may start another set that way and see which root faster.
Nice plants! The first is K. fedtschenkoi: http://www.gardenstew.com/plantstew/503271 The red one sure reminds me of Sedeveria 'Sorrento.' There are a LOT of these hybrids that look so much alike. http://www.gardenstew.com/plantstew/9002487 (See march 30 pic in particular, with winter coloring.) The 3rd may be a cultivar of Crassula arborescens, not sure: http://www.gardenstew.com/plantstew/9002658 http://worldofsucculents.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Crassula-arborescens2.jpg The leaves do well exactly as seen in your pic. Great job! I don't have time to look through my pics (in their neglected state of me not labeling the folders for a while now) & found this handy one on google instantly, works for most members of Crassulaceae family: http://static1.squarespace.com/stat...-leaves-and-cuttings-needlesandleaves_net.jpg
Thank you so much! They sure do look like mine! I'll be reading all about them now that I know who they are. Glad my leaf cuttings should work. Thanks for the link!
