After about 15 minuets of closely examining every plant in the garden I pinched off a few cuttings then headed home. When ever I collect cuttings I make a point of never taking from the original plant. I pinch off the offshoots that grow so nothing is missed. Ideally I take pieces that look out of place or too crowded as well.
Rooting your own cuttings of succulents is pretty easy. Check out this guide to get yourself started.
Well done you for pinching some cuttings a bit cheeky but it seems to have paid off!

ReplyDeleteWow, what a cool garden. I love the texture of the succulents. Great find - I hope they grow for you!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a labor of love for the person who made the garden. That's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love succulents too! I have been growing them at home since I was fifteen. I dont think it actually matters if you take it from offshoot or the original plant (I mean it probably does not matter to the plant, if you take a huge bunch of cuttings out of someones garden then-eh, he might not like it). Its a lovely collection! her ein central Europe we have some too, but probably not as many - I keep some of the foreign ones between my windows though. They are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe succulent garden sure is lovely! I'm a big fan of them. I just love their rustic modern look and I’m crazy for the subtle color differences between each one. You’re truly fortunate to have stumbled upon this garden. :)
