Moving from a temperate climate on California's central coast to the sometimes snowy Northern Nevada was hard on my houseplants. Our apartment isn't an ideal place for plants either, with only one small window getting enough sun, and my cats competing for the space.
I already knew this particular plant was struggling, but there was a tiny bit of new growth at the top! I wasn't going to kill it after all! That is, until Jimi made a rather ungraceful attempt at jumping onto the window sill, and brought this poor little plant down with it...
With most of the leaves perfectly separated from the stem, what better time to learn to propagate?

I used a piece of junk mail to make this origami box to house the little leaves. They're just hanging out in the window now. I hope I don't mess this up!
If all else fails, I am confident that the little stems will spring back. You can already see a tiny leaf coming in on the stem on the right.
These are a different type of succulent. I really don't know any names yet, I need to get on that! These guys grew like weeds at our old house, and in the summer they grow pretty little pink and yellow flowers that the hummingbirds love. The ones in my indoor pots got a little leggy before I stuck them in this window, but they seem to be doing okay.
This weekend I'm going to make some time to tend to my plants a bit, they are in need of a little TLC.
I'll be sure to post an update in a week or two when there's a change with the propagating. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Please leave a comment below! I'd love to hear from you. If you have any advice on succulent care I would love to hear it.
Thanks!
