Succulents That Are Easy To Grow And Propagate Here In My Garden

Hello everyone! I'm here again in my veranda area to check on my succulents and I have a sharing for today. So our topic for today is what are the succulents that are easy for me to take care or to propagate here in my area. So for those who do not know, I live here in Pulang, Cavite, Philippines. Today is August 28th and our weather is gloomy. It's cloudy. So right now it's not raining but this week it has been raining a lot and I'm getting worried about my succulents because some are not really looking well. But still praying and hoping that they can survive. So let's go back to our main topic for today. So our topic is I will be sharing with you the succulents that's easy for me to take care here in my area or in my garden and it's also easy to propagate. But it doesn't mean that if I say they are easy to grow, you will not be having any problem on taking good care of them. So they are still susceptible to pests, gully bugs, fungus, just like all the succulents. But what is very unique about them is that they are easy to grow to propagate through leaves and stem cuttings. So the first one as you can see in the video, this is our big basin of purple delight. I just propagated this big basin of purple delight this year. I think it's around February or March if I am not mistaken. So I just propagate it through stem cuttings and now look at it how lush and how cool is the big basin already with purple delight. And right now it's very colorful. It has its purple but it's not really fully stressed. So this big basin is located in a rain or shine area. There's no roof, there's no net or usually plastic that is protecting it. So it's totally exposed to full sun and full rain. And so purple delight is the first succulent that I would like to recommend for any beginners who want to collect succulents. Yeah because it is very easy to propagate through leaves because it has a thick leaf and it's easy also to propagate through stem cutting. Just make sure you pot it in a dry soil mix. So the next succulent that I would like to recommend for beginner is the drop the petalung Mendocay. So this is a big basin also of drop the petalung Mendocay. As you would see it also have the stressed color especially the one that is bigger set. It has the purplish stressed color but for the small one it doesn't have that much stressed color and there are weeds also. Let's try to remove it as I share something about it. So drop the petalung Mendocay I usually propagate it through stem cutting. So I propagate this basin as I have said through stem cutting this year only last March and look how lush it is already. So I am planning to cut the big rosette this rosette because it's getting matured already. So propagate and create another pot or another basin of Mendocay. So drop the petalung Mendocay can be propagated through stem cutting or even leaf propagation. So when you cut it let's get a cutting you can use just simply use your fingers to cut it because it's easy. This is the way I cut it. See then all you have to do is put it on top of the soil mix and it will grow there. So when you propagate leaves all you have to do is left and right it's easy to remove actually the leaves and then and then just put it there on the pot or a new pot just make sure the pot is has drainage hole and the soil is dry. So when I propagate my succulent especially purple delight and cut the petalung Mendocay I propagate it using a dry soil mix. I don't propagate it using moist or wet because it's susceptible to get rotted. So this is the other part of my propagation of Mendocay. This year it was propagated together with the purple delight and the Mendocay there. So they are propagated on the same month March 2025 and they are already all lush and they grow so lush but with different looks. So the other one look like this from afar and this one look like this so they grow differently but this one also have bigger sets of Mendocay that has stressed color but not fully stressed and there are some weeds also. So I haven't cleaned up the front yard where you can find the purple delight the big basin of purple delight and the Mendocay. So this is the basin of purple delight so grab the petalung purple delight it's the first succulent that I can recommend that's easy to take care propagate one is our Mendocay it is also a family of craptopetalum easy to take care and propagate you can put it in a rain or shine area as well as craptopetalum mirini. So mirini it looks like Mendocay if you haven't watched my vlog about succulents that look almost the same you can go back to my channel and look for it. So it's recently I think this month only that I made that video so it has smaller rosette compared to Mendocay this is my mother pot of craptopetalum mirini and I strongly recommend this also for beginner it's easy to propagate through stem cutting you may also propagate it through leaf but it would take lots of patience because it really grows slow you know but if it's properly moist it can grow fast too. So as you can see the inner pot is empty because I made cuttings there so what will I do is I will propagate this pot this mirini I mean the craptopetalum mirini by getting the matured stem of or matured rosette and put it in the middle but I cannot do it right now why because it's rainy season it might not survive if I get cuttings and put it so for the meantime I will leave it like that first. So we're done here showing the succulents in the front yard so let's go up in the veranda area to share more succulents that we can propagate or take care in in my area so fast and easy to take care let's take a look at this pretty flower so beautiful so here in my veranda area we're here in the veranda area already so I still have pots of craptopetalum mendocay, craptopetalum mirini this one was potted in a clay pot as well as this one and I also have a propagation pot that is potted in a long pot but it's already old so I'm planning to transfer this one but not now after the rainy season maybe so I have here the craptopetalum mendocay and craptopetalum mirini there is also but I cannot recommend for beginners Ellen because it's susceptible to edema I still have some small pots of mirini also here I think it's only just one pot so I'm planning to make more pots of craptopetalum mirini and mendocay after the rainy season and I still have some pots of purple delight here in the veranda area small pots there but they are not as colorful like the one in the front yard this one also is a purple delight and another pot also there in taking care of purple delight and I just experienced that there are times during rainy season that there is a possibility also that they got they get or they had this fungus but not so much and they can easily recover so that's the common problem that I have encountered with purple delight only fungus during rainy season and for craptopetalum mirini and mendocay I don't have any problem with them or experience them having fungus or mellabugs but during summer their rosette really get small because they really got dehydrated because they are placed in a rain or shine area here in my veranda as well as in my front yard and before I forget I have this special head pot here so what is potted on the head pot is our craptopetalum mirini it has been potted here for three years so how do I maintain this pot is that I just simply I just simply trim or get some rosette if you would see there are some cuttings there so that's how I maintain this head pot to make it lush and it is also nice if you expose the craptopetalum mendocay, purple delight and mirini in a rain or shine because they will really survive that setup and they will be more lush and more beautiful if you expose them to a rain or shine area so the next succulent that I can recommend for beginners is this arun pei so this arun pei has been with me for more than three years I think or two years so I have them this is my mother pot as well as this one so I got all my cuttings or propagation of arun pei from these two pots so the rosette is compact because it is exposed to full sun and rain as we all know that so all the succulents that I'm going to show you guys here are exposed to full sun and full rain because there's no roof no net no uv plastic that protect them from because my veranda area is totally exposed no roof so full rain full sun whenever it's sunny or summer so this pot was propagated from stem cutting coming from the first two pot that I have showed you so I have several pots of propagation coming from that pot that's why I can strongly recommend arun pei to all the succulents to all gardeners who want to start collecting succulents because they are easy to take care and propagate so I propagate most of my arun pei from stem cuttings but sometimes when the leaves fall I also propagate it through leaf propagation so it is also possible to propagate it through leaf propagation so this is the third pot of my propagation this is the fourth pot and this is the fifth pot so look how many I have propagated from the two pots that I have first showed you so there are a lot so that clearly shows that they can really survive here in my area so it's easy for me to take care of arun pei and to propagate them so I haven't experienced that arun pei have fungus or mealybugs or any kind of pests so just like drop the petal on me and they say and mirror me the next succulent that I can recommend for beginners is the sedum adultii so this is the golden glow or golden I forgot the exact ID but it's a sedum adultii so I have several pots sedum adultii is easy to take care but they are susceptible to mealybugs just like what you are looking at right now they are also susceptible to acid and fungus but what's good about sedum adultii is that even though they are susceptible to mealybugs and fungus all you have to do is remove the affected part of leaves with fungus and spray isopropyl alcohol to your sedum adultii and it can survive and recover as fast as it could so it's easy to treat the problem with sedum adultii and sedum adultii is very generous also in giving offsets and they easily get stressed when the climate change from sunny to cold or even to rainy season so right now they are not fully stressed because it's rainy season no much sunlight they are receiving although there are a touch of stress colors on it so the next succulent that's easy to grow here in my succulent garden is the Chloe so if you would see I have the mother pot of my Chloe here it's a big pot and it's so lush and I have several pots already propagated so for Chloe I haven't experienced any pests or fungus infestation in my Chloe so I have been taking care of my Chloe for three years already so this is the other pot of my Chloe it's a propagation coming from the mother pot there's another one here and Chloe is very generous in giving offsets look at the back part of this pot right it has lots of offsets or babies so when they're getting big enough I have to cut the mother's chest to propagate it again so this is the other part of my Chloe it's pretty lush already so I can transfer it into a bigger pot after the rainy days so the next one is the Raptoptera morphine so this is a lush part of my morphine it's actually a propagation from cuttings I just propagated it this month of April this year April 2025 so you see it doesn't look stressed but it's nice to look at because it's like a bouquet and the common problem with morphine that I always encounter is them having aphids infestation and even fungus so that's the common problem that I have encountered them but they can easily survive the infestation as long as you remove the infected part or leaves so since it's easy to propagate and to take care here in my succulent garden I have several pots of morphine forgot to show you this is another pot of the Chloe that I have and this is another propagation pot of my morphine and this is my lush pot which is trying to recover from the infestation of fungus and aphids if you would see the marks on the set so during rainy season it happens to my morphine and this is the other pot although they doesn't look pretty much good now they can easily recover after the rainy days so I'm just trying to wait when will so this is how it looks like during rainy season if you would see there are also some edema edema marks on their set but they would recover after the rainy season I can still recommend it for beginners because it's easy to propagate and it's very generous also in giving offset the next pot or next succulent that I'm going to recommend is the Luella but Luella is really susceptible to mealybugs especially when they become clumpy like this pot especially when you don't spend time in removing the dried or black leaves on it it is really susceptible to mealybugs I'm telling you that's my common that's my problem with Luella but it's really generous in giving offsets it's easy to take care it's easy to propagate but the infestation of mealybugs is really terrible as shall I say but they are really pretty when they get stressed especially when cold seasons come so the next succulent that I can recommend for a beginner is my ghost pea so this is how a ghost pea look like when it's stressed during rainy season but ghost pea is very beautiful and very unique why because they have different stress color depending on the climate or the season that they are in and they are very easy to propagate through but they are also susceptible in mealybugs and fungus from time to time so that's the common problem that I have encountered but it's okay because if you if you try to maintain your succulent garden by visiting it from time to time that common problem would be easily solved without just use 70% isopropyl alcohol for mealybugs simply remove the leaves that is infected by fungus and aphids just like this it has a black spot simply remove it and throw it away so ghost pea has been with me for four years I keep propagating it and starting it by stem cutting and leaf propagation even if you just simply throw the leaves in a soil mix or a pot with the soil mix it will really grow so fast like this so the next pot or next succulent that I will be showing is the echeveria silk veal so this is one pot of my echeveria silk veal and I have several pots of it I can strongly recommend this for beginners because it's easy to take care and it's very generous in giving access and it has really a very beautiful stress color during summer and cold season so echeveria silk veal is not susceptible to fungus but they are susceptible to mealybugs especially when they're giving babies at the bottom part so it's really susceptible to mealybugs so you just have to check it from time to time but it's easy to propagate because it's generous in giving access just like what I've said you can also propagate it through leaf and stem cutting there are also some echeverias that I can recommend for beginners just like this heroine's gold so this is my mother pot of heroine's gold and I have propagated so many pots of it just like the one beside it just like this one which is very fresh or have a stress color not so stressed I mean so I have several pots of propagation another pot of propagation here this one too is heroine's another pot of heroine's and here's the other pot so it is also susceptible to aphids but not much of mealybugs another one here the next echeveria that I can recommend for beginner is the alba beauty so I this alba beauty is a propagation of mine this is my mother pot of alba beauty if you would see it's very generous in giving offset so I haven't experienced that alba beauty have problems with mealybugs or fungus but during rainy season you have to expect that they will be having mushy lips at the bottom part because they're drinking too much water so outside from alba beauty I also recommend amabile for beginners it's an echeveria so I have another pot of another pot of amabile here so I cannot find the other pot the next succulent that I can recommend is this echeveria apus or apus I don't know how this is really pronounced so I have several pots here in my veranda area so I propagate apus actually I don't propagate it it just gives offset so when the offset gets into a right size I just simply cut and propagate it into another pot this is another pot of amabile next succulents that I can recommend also for the beginner is the blue cloud echeveria blue cloud this is have a very beautiful and stunning beauty with its blue wish color with thick farina and it is very generous in giving offset too I have several pots of blue clouds since it is very generous in giving offset I have propagated more of it one two three and four so I have four pots of propagation and I still have more of the blue cloud here in my veranda area and this is my mother pot of my blue cloud so all the propagation that you have seen that comes from this mother pot of my blue cloud so it usually gives offset at the bottom part but right now I have already removed it and propagated so I have no much problem when it comes to blue cloud so fungus is just mainly bugs whenever it gets offset at the bottom part it usually it's about two millibugs so I just have to spray alcohol on it and the last one that I can recommend for beginners is the hybrid aloes so there are different kind of hybrid aloes here in my veranda area and I was able to propagate it through their offset so it's very generous in giving offset look so there so it's easy to take care you can put it in a rain or shine area so all the succulents that I've showed you they are placed in a rain or shine area no roof no uv plastic and no net total exposed to full sun and full rain so I place them in a rain or shine area to achieve the full stress color and for them to become healthy just make sure there's a proper air circulation in your in the place where you're going to put them so aloes I propagated through their offsets coming out from the bottom part of their mother plant I am so proud of myself that I have propagated also then through seeds this pot was all propagation coming from the seeds that I got from my hybrid aloes yes I have grown them from seeds and it took me a year to make them to make it this kind or this size so it's been a year but they are still token sizes but although there are some that's already be it's the flower of the hybrid aloes and this is where I got the seed so I'm just waiting it to get ripe or get a little bit dry so there are a lot there are I think some more succulents that I can share for beginners maybe I'll make another video but for now my video is too long already so I have to say goodbye so thank you for
