Propagating succulents from leaves is the thing that took my life from being a succulent admirer to a full on addict. Seriously! What could be more fun than watching little baby plants grow from seemingly nothing?!

You propagate some succulents and I’ll propagate some succulents 🙂 Not sure how to propagate succulents from leaves? Click here to get instructions on how to start, or buy my ebook, The Secrets to Propagating Succulents, to learn about the whole process.
Tell me (and all our succulent friends) when you’ve started propagating by sharing a photo in our awesome Facebook Group!
We’ll help keep you consistent with watering and help you out along the journey to lots of new plants! If you don’t have succulents of your own to propagate from leaves, don’t worry.
You have some options:
- Ask a friend if you can have some leaves from their succulent
- Buy an Scuba Anne Animal Dress Dahlia Klein Combo Womens Printed Sheath 6wzaCx succulent or two at your local Lowes, Home Depot, or Walmart and look for other succulents that have dropped some leaves (snag those and add them to the plant you buy)
- Buy as set of leaves from The Succulent Source to propagate (it’s a fun mystery to see what leaves you’ll get!)
Below you’ll see some updates of how my leaves are growing. I’m hoping these will motivate you to give it a try. It’s sooooo much fun!

Round 1 | Set 1
Started October 20, 2017 — These were photographed sporatically, but the dates are listed with each one. In the center of the orange tray are some cuttings (not succulents grown from leaves).
Also, these were kept outside in a Zone 9 climate. They experienced a few nights temperatures in the low 30s, but daily highs were approximately 65 F.

Propagating succulents from leaves is so much fun!!! If you want to learn more about how to be successful, take a look at my ebook, Heel Crocs Wedge Women's Gold 81d Block Sandal Isabella Orange Bronze qqrat1, and I’ll help you get from leaves to plants!
And if you’re ready to propagate from leaves but don’t have any to work with, just grab a set of leaves from The Succulent Source and you’ll be on your way!

Approximately how long does the average propagated succulent take to reach a “normal” size? Like the ones you buy in store?
Specifically how many did you lose from what you started with? Ive had quite good success but when it comes to transferring to them when the leaves have died is when I loose them. Ive tried spraying every 3 days… every 6 days … letting them dry out in between but it just seem like they want to grow any more!! Help from the point of transferring!! Thank you Janice
Hi! I just purchased some of the soil that you suggested by Bonsai Jack. It’s really great! Do you also use this soil for propagation or is traditional soil better for that? Thanks!
