Uprootin on up! Great root development on succulent leaf pups in two weeks time!
So here we are! My little Crassula Arborescens is preggers with pups! I’m so excited that today I found three separate leaf pups with their own root systems developed! The whole process took about two weeks. I didn’t know what would unfold since, I’ve never heard of this type of succulent propagation. Certainly, the most common propagation method is taking a fresh young leaf cutting and sticking it in soil and keeping it in a moist but shaded environment. These pups, however, just started growing on the plant’s leaves while still attached to the stem. I have done lots of online research about this particular plant’s propagation but never one saw anything similar to what I was able to observe and photograph. I could probably detach the pups with roots and plant them in soil right now, but I think I will wait for one more week to be safe.
