Silvio Barnes – Succulents SAE
This is an FFA quick lesson plan built around the “Silvio Barnes – SAE – Succulents” video, in which a student shares his supervised agricultural experience (SAE) growing and propagating succulents in the school greenhouse. Students watch the video, compare the growing requirements of succulents to other plants, research and write the steps of plant propagation, and design a plan for a plant propagation demonstration. It works well as a horticulture or SAE lesson and includes student activity worksheets and answer keys.
