Today I want to talk about propagation. You can use leaves most succulents in order to create a new baby plant. There are many ways to do this my preferred method is through water propagation. I use a mason jar filled almost all the way up with water.  I use clear plastic wrap on the top and then poke holes in the plastic wrap to stick the succulent leaves in.

It turned out better than I thought it would and is now one of my favorite planters. I have burro tails and climbing aloe growing inside it.  The first step in this project was to cut a hole near the toe of the boot. It was a little tricky due to how many layer lined the inside of the boot. Plus its a steel toe boot so I couldn't get as close to the toe as I would have liked. I used a sharp knife to make the initial cut and then was able to use scissors to cut the rest of the hole. Once I got that cut I used the knife again to start a cut in the lining.  Once I had cut the hole in the top of...
