Caption: My cuttings The first batch
Caption: I discovered that succulents could be grown from cuttings when the professional gardener I paid a fortune to redo the garden a few months ago came to see why his work was dying on me.
The succulent plants he had planted went on to die but the upside of the story is that I began a new adventure: growing my own succulents from cuttings.
I have had way more success than the gardener in question...

They are water-wise and afaik, all these are native to South Africa.
That makes succulents a source of environmentally sound fun and learning.
