Trouble with stem cutting & transplanting
Hi! I’ve had this echeveria for a few years but it’s always been struggling a little bit. My house doesn’t get great light, so it was leggy for the longest time and eventually was losing all of its leaves from the bottom of the stem up. Finally, I tried clipping it above a node and planting the rosette in its own new pot, but I didn’t give it any time to scab over, and I think I didn’t leave a long enough stem under the rosette. I tried to leave an inch or two. The remainder of the stem I stuck in another pot hoping it would do something. It has not.
Have I doomed this plant? I never see any like it in stores and I’ll be sad to lose it. I don’t know that any of these leaves could successfully propagate.
I’m new to propogating and stem cutting. Previously I had help from my Alma mater university’s horticulture club to separate offspring pups from haworthias and golden sedums I got from them, but I never did stem cutting with any plants I’ve had. #Echeveria #stemcutting #HappyPlants #propogationstation #NewGrowth

Sorry to hear about your Echeveria! What kind of Echeveria is it. Do you have a plant card to 🆔 it? Stem cuttings and transplant is not my specialty, plus I have never done it. But, to answer your question about lighting, you should buy grow lights to help with your plants. They sell them on Amazon! Sansi grow lights are very good in helping plants grow. To find help, with your plants solutions, you need to hashtag other groups to help you. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PropagationStation #NewGrowth #GrowLights #PlantID
Thank you for the lighting suggestions. I’m currently trying to figure out ways I can set up lights in my house, so I’ve not yet decided what to go with.
I believe this Echeveria is a Perle von Nurnberg, I’ve tagged its ID from my collection.
