November flew by. We didn’t have to many favorites. Probably because we just used tried and true things and nothing exciting. For Home and Beauty I pulled out old favorites. For makeup I was really simple. A light dusting of … Continue reading →

Succulent propagating

Hello my name is Kelli, and I’m a thief.
I don’t rob houses. Well I sometimes do. I rob plants. No dropped seed, cutting or leaf is safe around me.
Some of these leaves are from a friends plant or my own, and some I plucked from plants at Lowes. I’m not a greedy thief, I only take one or two leafs. But when I see a shriveling dying plant somewhere, I feel the need to give it a better life. Even if it’s through its off-spring.
Here is how I grow succulents from cuttings.


Remove leaves or sections carefully from plant. Leaves I take from the bottom. If you are taking a small section of the plant this will still apply.
Place on dirt or surface and let dry. The wet area that was connected to the mother plant needs to dry and callous. If you plant it right away in the ground, it is more likely to rot before rooting. I have placed cutting in dirt that have fallen off accidentally, and they have lived. I just make sure not to water them for a few days.

Now you wait. In a week or two you’ll start seeing little grow at the end that was connected to the mother plant. Don’t do anything yet. You’ll see the leaf or cutting start to dry up. Just leave it alone.
Once the new growth has started to root, and the leaf is really shriveled, that’s when you can give it a small misting of water. Not much. I’ll add more posts along the way as these grow.
Mist once a week and enjoy.
These are a few I keep in my kitchen window sill above the sink. And are mother plants to a few I’m propagating. And the ones in the yellow pot are in the family room, I just repotted them into that one. I’ll add photos of it filling out later as well.

This was one order but shipped in two boxes a couple of days apart.

First box :


Now officially loaded up with pumpkin. Ready for the holidays and I was thinking about doing pumpkin recipe week soon. Of course our herbal coffee. Vitacost has the best price, and they occasionally have coupon codes, and of course use E-Bates or Extrabux.

Second Box :


These are most staples and repurchase. Our new soap and my breakfast bars.
