  Succulents are perfect for fetes and they can be made up at very little cost and people seem to love to buy them at fetes.

A good idea, thanks for sharing!

so very easy to double your plants

A very interesting and ingenious tip; thanks for sharing!.

Succulents are also great in hanging baskets because they don’t mind drying out so much.

it is so easy to get a new plant to grow

  thanks for the tip. succulents are so easy to deal with.

I use the leaves aswell and just keep well watered till they grow

I’m trying to work out why the pot is lying on its side.
You can propogate zygo cactus. I was given some pieces of some about 10 months ago when it was a severe heatwave. When the weather cooled down I planted some of them. They haven’t done very well and haven’t flowered. I kept some in a glass of water in the kitchen area, and keep topping the water up (it is about 3-4 cm. deep) and they are still growing although their roots are still short and some of them have flowered. I thought they might die because of the cool air conditioning in Summer and the heat in Winter but they have coped very well.

I just plant them straight after breaking them off and keep watered

I’ve started doing this recently. I used to think you had to sit the succulent in water to allow roots to grow but you can just stick straight into the potting mix. awesome and free

Thanks, my daughter will love this too. In fact just today we went for a walk and she picked a few succulents from a friendly neighbour. She’s left them to dry out a bit as the neighbour suggested. So I’ll show her this.

Thanks, I don’t have a great deal of success doing this, will try again.

thanks for sharing

Such a great handy little tip

thank you for this, some great tips, will try this
