The coir and peat help provide water holding capacity to the mix and the perlite provides drainage and aeration. 🌱Fill pot with soil, slightly compact the soil. ✂️ Always disinfect your pruners. I use 3% hydrogen peroxide. ⏰ Allow the leaves to dry and callous over for 48 hours 🪴 Open a hole with a dowel or pencil and place the leaf in the soil 💡Place under a grow light or on a windowsill MonstroFarm Tip 💦 Allow the layer of soil that the leaves are sitting in to dry out completely before watering again This tiny Jade plant has been with me for about 6 months and it was time to prune it so it could branch out and I could make more propagations from it. Here’s how I did it. ✂️ I started by removing each stem with clean pruners. Making sure to leave at least one leaf on each stem left on the plant. Then I removed the leaves towards the bottom of the stem and let them sit for 48 hours to form a callous. I don’t do this for all leaf props but for Jade I do. 🪨I used a potting mix that had peat, coir and sand that would provide adequate drainage, and have just the right amount of water holding capacity. 🪴Then I filled a tray with the propagation mix and gently compacted it. 🌱 And next I laid each leaf with the top-side up on the mix. 💦 To water my succulents, I thoroughly saturate the soil and wait until the soil completely dries out before watering them again. I’m trying to slowly get back to gardening and the best way to do that is to germinate seeds for my indoor and eventually outdoor garden. So I figured I would start with herbs, and none is better than Thyme. Here’s how I did it. 🪨I started by expanding a coir tablet by adding water and then adding a little perlite to help with the drainage and aeration. I then took this mix and filled a pot with it. 🌱 Then, in order to get the seeds to germinate more quickly and increase the success rate I soaked them in water. 💦 After soaking in water for 5 hours I poured the seeds over the soil. Trying to spread them out best I could. 🪴I put them in my glass dome and 4 days later they had started to germinate. Subscribe and begin to grow healthier plants.
