Join Tina 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.

Please bring a small pot, or another vessel of your choice, approximately 4 inches in diameter; you’ll be able to create your own mixed succulent arrangement.
