Is it better to mist or water succulents?
βThere is only one way to kill a succulentβtoo much water!β says Hugo. βUnlike other houseplants, you only need to water your succulents once or twice a month, depending on where the plant is located. And the best way to add moisture to your container is not to water, but to mist with a spray bottle of water.
What type of container is best for succulents?
The best pots for succulents are made from terracotta or ceramic. Both of these materials are breathable, which encourages proper water drainage and air circulation. Just remember that both terracotta and ceramic are heavy, especially once you add soil and plants.
How do you pinch off succulents?
Grab the offset, of whatever size, and bend it backward until it snaps off from the parent plant. It doesn't matter how much or how little of the stem you get. Paddle plant (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora), which grows in USDA zones 10 through 11, works well for offset propagation.
Should you mist your succulents?
Misting is a key component of propagation. When you're propagating succulent leaves you want to mist them every other day. This encourages roots to sprout from the leaves in order to soak up moisture.
Is it bad to mist succulents?
Full grown succulents don't actually like to be misted. They thrive in arid climates, so when you mist them, you are changing the humidity around the plant. This can lead to rot as well. Use misting for propagation babes to lightly provide water to their delicate little roots.
