ROOTLESS succulenten blijven uitzonderlijk lang mooi, zelfs zonder water. Met deze verzorgingstips beleef je eindeloos veel plezier.
My ROOTLESS succulent is dropping leaves!
It’s only natural for an Echeverias to lose some of the leaves at the bottom. Is the fallen leaf brown, small or dry? If so, it is no longer of any use to the plant. If the leaf has a good leaf base (the lower part of the leaf) and is full of juice, you can use this leaf to grow a new plant. Make sure the leaf is intact and let it dry for 7 days. Next, lay it on top of a substrate composed of potting soil and spray it every day with a plant sprayer. After a while, you will see roots starting to emerge. Tiny Echeverias will grow from these roots. Once they are bigger, you can transfer them in a larger pot.
Can a ROOTLESS succulent flower?
Certainly, ROOTLESS succulents flower! Their flowers are often very beautiful, with a lovely shape and bright, vivid shades colours. They can be a magenta, or even orange. After the plant had completed its winter rest period, the flowers will start to emerge from its axils. Roots have no influence on the growth and flowering of the plant because ROOTLESS succulents derive their energy from their leaves.
What is the best place to put my ROOTLESS succulent?
ROOTLESS succulents are not afraid of sunlight and can be kept in front of all windows. Direct sunlight is not a problem. On the contrary, sunlight increases the intensity of the leaf colour. These plants like to be kept outdoors in summer. They thrive on a veranda, balcony or patio during this season. The natural habitat of ROOTLESS succulents are warm, sunny areas, after all.
Does a ROOTLESS succulent need water?
ROOTLESS succulents can survive for a long time without water because they store moisture in their leaves. So, if you have a ROOTLESS succulent, there is no need to worry about watering it. What could possibly be more convenient?
Can a ROOTLESS succulent grow roots?
After a few weeks, you may see some roots sprouting from your ROOTLESS succulent. By then, the plant will have entered survival mode. These small roots are a sign of life and tell you that the plant is ready to be planted.
The colours of the roots may vary from one variety to another, but Echeverias have the most beautiful roots of all. They are a lovely shade of the palest pink.
Can I repot a ROOTLESS succulent?
ROOTLESS succulents can survive for a long time without water – even without roots. If you want to propagate you succulents, you will need a pot containing some potting soil. The potting soil should be a bit sandy, to ensure proper drainage. The succulent should not have any open wounds (to prevent root rot).
Thoroughly wet the potting soil and put your ROOTLESS on top of it. The plant will ‘smell’ the water and start to grow roots. After 6-10 weeks, your ROOTLESS will have enough roots to bind itself to the soil. Your rootless succulent will now become a plant with roots. The best time to do this is in the spring, as increasing daylight will help the plant to grow. Make sure your plant is not flowering. You cannot repot a succulent when it is putting its energy into flowering.

# Tips van 💁♀️: Soms valt er een blaadje af aan de onderkant van een Echeveria. Is het blaadje bruin, klein of droog? Dan heeft het geen functie meer. Maar als het blad een stevige bladvoet heeft en vol bladsappen zit, kun je het gebruiken om een nieuwe plant te kweken. Zorg dat het blad intact blijft en laat het dagen drogen. Plaats het daarna op potgrond en besproei dagelijks met een plantenspuit. Na verloop van tijd ontstaan er kleine worteltjes, waaruit mini-Echeveria’s groeien. Als ze wat groter zijn, kun je ze verpotten in een eigen pot.
