  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
