10 Succulents You Can Keep in Water and They Won’t Rot

Reproducing succulents in water is something that all lovers of this type of plant should know. Succulent plants are almost always kept in soil, yet they can also be kept in water without the risk of damaging them or, even worse, causing them to rot

In general, succulents are not easy plants to propagate. They can be reproduced through leaves, cuttings or by division, but have you ever thought that it was possible to propagate them in water ? Below we explain how to do it and list the succulent plants that are best suited to this practice.

How to reproduce succulents in water

First step . Choose the succulents you want to propagate and detach a stem from the mother plant. Use a very sharp cutter to avoid damaging the plant.

Second step . Let the cut heal for about 2-3 days. Once healed, the plant is ready to generate roots if placed in water.

Third step . Fill a container with water and immerse the piece of succulent in it. Make sure there is space between the cut and the water to allow air to pass through. The plant needs water and oxygen to access nutrients.

Fourth step . Once the roots have formed, you can transplant the succulent into a pot, or keep it in water, changing the latter whenever it becomes cloudy.
