In respect to this, why is my succulent growing pups?

Offsets, AKA “pups,” are the little succulents that sprout up around the base of the parent plant. These pups occur when roots bearing leaf clusters, shoot out from the mature plant and develop into a new succulent. Pups can also occur on the leaves of some succulents, like the Pink Butterfly Kalanchoe.

Besides, why is my succulent growing a stalk? Succulents will grow long stems when they are not getting enough sunlight. This process is called etiolation, where they start to turn and stretch out in search of light, giving them a “leggy” appearance with a long stem and smaller, spaced-out leaves.

Succulents love direct sun, but if yours is sitting in the same exact spot day after day, it’s likely that only one side is getting enough light. … Succulents will lean towards the sun, so rotating them will help them stand up straight.

Can a succulent come back from overwatering?

Yes. If you lost a lot of leaves from overwatering, the plant will eventually recover as long as it is not rotting.

Place leaf cuttings directly on top of a shallow layer of succulent potting soil (do not bury) and mist with water to keep moist. Within three weeks or so, the leaf cuttings will begin to sprout tiny “pup” plants. Around eight weeks, the mother leaf will wither and fall off, and your pups are ready to be planted.

How do you get rid of Echeveria in puppies?

It is imperative that the plant is plump and healthy with enough water and nutrients to sustain growth after cutting.
