Can you plant the petals to grow another plant? So many of mine fell off when I replanted

Yes, you can plant the leaves! If you’d like to watch a video that shows how to, I’d recommend this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6gJFYC094pY

@Seedstarter · Answer

Yes! Succulents reproduce mostly through the planting of their petals, stems, or pups. However the success rate is affected by the overall health of the petals that fell

@sarah10orio · Answer

YES! Here are some of mine that I have grown from leaves.

Often times I find the best way to propagate this type of plant is to just toss the leaves back into the pot. ￼￼

@sarah10orio · Answer

@Shan603 I just put them on top. (:

@sarah10orio · Answer

@Shan603 I don't. I just toss them on - don't bury them.

Not all will make it, but the first picture of Ghosts started from ONE plant and that burro's tail (last picture) was started from just four pieces. When the leaves fall off, I toss them back in the pots.

@sarah10orio What is that beauty in the third picture? I’ve never seen one and it’s gorgeous!

@sarah10orio · Answer

@CaribbeanCanela that's a tiny stone crop. I need to figure out what the actual type it is.

I don't remember what happened to it originally, but I had four tiny leaves left! Hopefully next year, I'll have a full pot! ￼
