The post How to Propagate Succulents from a Cutting, Leaf or Pup appeared first on Taste of Home. You can swap cuttings with friends, so this is a great way save money on new houseplants!
You can propagate monstera cuttings in water or soil, but soil is recommended. The cuttings are more susceptible to developing root rot or mushy stems when placed in water. Read the original ...
Stapelia gigantea is a species of flowering plant in the genus Stapelia of the family Apocynaceae. [1] Common names include Zulu giant, [2] carrion plant and toad plant (although the nickname "carrion plant" can also refer to Stapelia grandiflora). The plant is native to the desert regions of South Africa to Tanzania. [3]
Stapelia is a genus of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa with a few from other parts of Africa. Several Asian and Latin American species were formerly included but they have all now been transferred to other genera.
Stapeliad flowers range in size from mere millimetres in species of Echidnopsis and Pseudolithos to those of Stapelia gigantea that can reach 40 cm/16" in diameter, and are some the largest of flowers to be found on any species of succulent. Flowers are actinomorphic (radially symmetrical) with 5 free or fused sepals and petals.
A stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems. Some plants can be grown from leaf pieces, called leaf cuttings, which produce both stems and roots. The scions used in grafting are also called cuttings. [1] Propagating plants from cuttings is an ancient form of cloning.
Root cuttings (pieces of root cut off and induced to grow a new trunk) are also not used to propagate fruit trees, although this method is successful with some herbaceous plants. A refinement on rooting is layering. This is rooting a piece of a wood that is still attached to its parent and continues to receive nourishment from it.
Plant propagation is the process by which new plants grow from various sources, including seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. Plant propagation can refer to both man-made and natural processes. Plant propagation can refer to both man-made and natural processes.
