Guide to Succulents: Propagation, Hydrotherapy, and Living Arrangements

Please bring a small pot approximately 4 inch diameter or vessel that you would like, and you’ll be able to create your own mixed succulent arrangement.

Join Tina Van Laarhoven as she shares her favorite tips and techniques for propagating succulents from leaves, roots, and stem cuttings. Learn how to grow a beautiful succulent dish garden starting with just a single leaf, and discover how hydrotherapy can encourage faster, healthier rooting.

Tina will also demonstrate the process of creating a stunning living succulent arrangement, featuring a preview of several pieces she has designed for the San Jose Cactus and Succulent Fair later this month. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced grower, you'll leave with practical skills and creative inspiration to propagate and expand your own succulent collection.
