Water thoroughly when you do water, and be sure the excess runs out through well-draining soil to prevent wet feet. Since succulents propagate vegetatively, you can obtain new plants by planting the cut bits in well-draining soil after the pruning wounds...

If using a clay container with drainage holes, place a few pieces of a gravel over the hole to prevent the drainage hole from becoming clogged over time. Next, water the potting mix well and place it its intended location.

Insert the bare stem end into the potting mix. Then dip the cut surface into rooting hormone, and place the cuttings in a shaded place to heal, which usually takes several days. An example is Easter lily cactus (Echinopsis oxygona), which grows in USDA...

But maybe I just jumped in too late? Maybe this is the case. Admittedly, in most cases, one could remove the suckers without hurting the mother plant, so these offsets, it could be argued, are now their own plant and do not have to die for the definition...

So this is what I do.Watercolors are an ideal medium for me in that they take up very little room, so are easy to transport and set up anywhere (work or home).The paintings themselves are easy to keep, store, move about and work on whenever (compare this...

The porcelain blue and white pot and small green glass ones were particularly challenging to drill, but I got lucky and didn't break them. The large square pot on the upper left was an especially large catch basin for a large square pot...

It can be addictive as well as instructional.There is not another website that is so all-inclusive or has so many entries for so many exotic and rare plants as Davesgarden.You may not find every plant you are looking for here, but chances are best this...

The leaf sheath anatomy allows one to 'prune' many monocots uniquely by just pulling off the oldest, lowest leaves by unsheathing them from the stem, leaving a clear, clean stem behind (not all monocots will unsheath like this, so don't be terribly surprised...
