how to grow succulent plant cuttings
5. Select a stem to cut. Most succulents are not difficult to grow, but you can still increase your chances of a healthy plant with the right cutting. Ideally, select a stem that is actively growing, near the top or outer edge of the plant, and 4â6 inches (10â15 centimeters) long.. Strip leaves from the lower part of the stem. If you are using a stem cutting, remove the lowest cluster of leaves. Strip them with the same, sterilized knife, leaving the lowest 2â4 inches (5â10 cm) of the stem bare.
