hi all!

was wondering if anyone knew what these little guys were? bought a bundle of succulent propagations and these guys are the first to create pups. :))

wow, ive never seen pups from the edges of leaves, only where the leaf was attached to the stem.  
my guess is some sort of paddle plant. the babies seem to look like that, but not thr parent leaves, which is interesting. maybe echevaria, going off the shape of the mother leaves?

i’ve never seen it either! which is why i came here to ask 😂 they are very pretty regardless though so i’m definitely not complaining!

I have a kalanchoe that does that!

#### Anya replied on 2024-03-27

The round leaves look like mariners kalanchoe

I can never get my succulents to propagate.., what’s your secret 😂

#### Ava replied on 2024-03-29

Neither can I!

i kinda neglect them 💀 i’ll lay them out on a platter of dirt and spray them with water where the roots sprout from whenever the dirt fully dries or i remember them 😭

#### PlantaMama01 replied on 2024-03-31

That’s what I do and they all die 😂

the only genus of plants i know of that does this is kalanchoe. other succulents like echeveria, sedum, pachyphytum, graptopetalum, etc, will only grow new babies from the end of the leaf, where it was attached to the mother plant’s stem, like the two leaves on the left of your photo.  
i’m not entirely sure which species but anya’s suggestion of mariner’s kalanchoe looks quite close
