hey! looking for advice on propagating succulents for the first time. Any tips? Specifically, though, I'm wondering what soil to get. Thanks!
Hey! Not gonna lie, I haven't been doing this for very long so my advice might not be the best, but from what I've noticed with my own succulents, as long as the soil drains well it should be perfectly fine for the baby plants. My succulent pots all have different soils and they're doing okay: one has poor soil I dug up from outside, another high in nutrients from a composted soil, and the other two have basic potting soil and a cactus soil mix picked up from stores. So pretty much as long as the soil drains and doesn't leave the succulent roots sitting in water for extended amounts of time, whatever you have available should work well. Some other small pieces of advice I can think of are to leave the potential babies alone until they show signs of growth, and that the babies can pretty much be treated and grown like the adult succulents and can transition into full sun and be watered right after they have new leaves and roots. And when the roots grow, it's recommend to just let them grow down into the soil on their own instead of burying them, because they can be ripped off that way, but if you do decide to bury them, they should be okay if you're careful.Good luck growing them btw!!! I hope that they grow well and strong and live with you harmoniously in the years to come !!! 💚🌵💚
