Now that you have been enjoying your Graptoveria succulents for some time, you may want to finally get started with propagating Graptoveria so you can multiply your plants for many reasons.
Maybe you want to start an entire collection, or just want to give some to your family and friends or even just want to start fresh.
Whatever the reason may be, you will need to know how to propagate Graptoveria succulents the right ways so you can continue your overall succulent experience.
So if you just want to know how to propagate Graptoveria then let’s go ahead and get started with the many different ways you can go about this.
How to propagate Graptoveria from stem
One of the main methods for Graptoveria propagation is by using stem cuttings from the main part of the succulent.
To go about this, you will first need to have been taking good care of your succulent in the first place so you can have some healthy stems to choose from.
Once you have decided which healthy stem you want to use, you will use a clean pair of sharp scissors to cut away a stem from the top of the Graptoveria.
You can always leave a few leaves on the stem as long as they will not be in the way when transplanting, by this I mean to leave a few inches at the bottom of the stem free of rosettes.
Now that you have your Graptoveria stem cutting, let the stem sit out for a few days to dry and callus over to prevent problems from occurring during propagation.
Once your stem cutting has callused over, you should prepare a container full of quality succulent and cactus soil along with some grit for extra drainage.
Now that everything is prepared, plant your Graptoveria stem 2 inches deep into the soil while making sure there are no leaves touching or under the soil.
From here water lightly and place the container in a spot where it’s going to get a good amount of indirect light on a daily basis.
Also only water when the soil is starting to get too dry so you don’t over water your stem cutting.
After some weeks have passed, you will notice your Graptoveria stem cutting has produced a nice set of roots which means you were successful.
How to propagate Graptoveria from offsets
Next on our ways of Graptoveria propagation we have the method that involves using offsets to propagate with.
For this to work you will already need to have a Graptoveria that is healthy and been around for some time until it has a chance to produce some offsets around the base.
Knowing that you care enough to read this, I’m sure you will have no problem getting to that point.
Once your Graptoveria has produced a good amount of offsets also known as pups, you will need to carefully twist and pull one or more away from the main plant.
You can also use a clean sharp knife if the roots are super well formed and hard to twist away.
This is a good sign though.
The better formed the roots are, the better chance it has to be propagated successfully which means the closer the offset is to the base of the main rosette the higher priority it should receive.
So now that you have an offset to use, let it sit out in indirect light for a few days so the pup can callus over like the method listed before.
Once your Graptoveria offset is ready to go, you should once again prepare a container of high quality succulent and cactus soil, along with some grit.
From here plant the roots directly into the soil with the offset sitting firmly on top of the soil, surrounded by some grit.
Now water or mist lightly when the soil has become dry to the touch and let the container sit in a spot where it will get plenty of indirect sunlight for the coming weeks.
After some time has passed, you will notice your Graptoveria pup has produced a strong set of roots which means you did a good job.
How to propagate Graptoveria from leaves
When it comes to propagating Graptoveria from leaves, you will have to keep in mind that this method of propagation has a pretty low success rate compared to everything else.
This isn’t exclusive to graptoveria succulents but most plants in general.
So with that being said to get started, you will need some healthy leaves to choose from which shouldn’t be a problem because you know what you’re doing.
It’s okay if you don’t though.
Assuming that you do have some leaves to choose from, you need to either twist and pull them away from the Graptoveria or use a nice clean sharp knife to cut some away.
Now let the Graptoveria leaves dry and callus over for a few days up to a week or so in some indirect light to speed up the process without burning the leaves.
Also make sure that you don’t tear the leaf as you will want the Graptoveria leaf in it’s entirety to have the highest chance of propagating successfully.
So after your leaf cuttings are ready to go, prepare a tray or container full of quality succulent and cactus soil and just place the leaves on top of the soil with the base of the leaves touching the soil completely.
From here, mist the soil enough to keep it moist but not entirely soaked and place the container or tray where it will get indirect light for a while.
Eventually you will notice strong roots have formed and there will be a baby plant overtaking the leaf that you started with.
This means you have done it right and the leaf will slowly start to whither away which is completely normal by the way.
Pour Conclure
So there you have it.
Those are 3 easy ways you can propagate Graptoveria succulents for the foreseeable future that even a beginner can do.
If that sounds good to you then what’re you waiting for, just get started and I hope you have a positive succulent experience.
