How to root a beheaded succulent? (ID confirmation also a...
I got this (suspected) aeonium for Christmas and have already done some damage. While trying to ID it I knocked it off the bed and the whole top snapped off🥲 I know there’s still hope, I’m just not sure how to proceed.
I now have the top aside to callus, how long should that process take?
After it’s callused and placed in soil, do I need to water it or just wait until roots form?
Final question, is there a chance the stem will pop out new growth? Or would it need a remaining leaf to absorb light? #Aeonium #SucculentSquad

@thingsNstuff The callous should take between 2-3 days depending on the thickness of the stem. And you are right by waiting until roots form before watering, without roots the plant has no way to absorb water! May I give you an unsolicited tip? Always put Plants on a solid surface. I do all my plant work on the floor if anyone wants to topple over they won’t fall very far!
