Hi Ping People!
My P. cyclosecta and P. moranensis f "Vera Paz" are starting to wake up.
I took 4 succulent leaf pullings from each one today. I used one hand/thumb to hold the pot and hold down the plant while I pulled off the leaf with surgical forceps in the other hand, so I didn't uproot my plants when I did the pullings.
I pressed the pullings into the media in the same pot with the parent plant. The torn end is even with the top level of the media, not covered or buried. The pot is not covered or bagged.
I have no need for more Pings. I'm doing this as a learning experience. So if I end up with any new Pinglets, I'll probably do a giveaway this Fall, or when they're big enough to leave home.
This is my first attempt at Ping propagation so I'm asking for advice. Did I miss anything? Does anyone have suggestions to improve my chances of success?
Thank you.
Good growing,
Mike
