Am I doing this right ? 😅 I was given cuttings of aloe I let it callous over and potted it up, I’m seeing no signs of roots tho ?

how long has it been? the leaf on the far left \*looks like\* it’s being used as a water source, so i’d guess you’ll get roots soon

It’s been about 2 weeks maybe closing in on 3 ? I had 2 yellowing leaves the one far left you see (im assuming 😅) and I had plucked the other as it got really droopy. It’s in my bathroom

hmm. are you watering it? you shouldn’t water, as succulent cuttings will produce roots using the water stored in the leaves. try not to pluck those until the leaf is completely shriveled!  
note that sometimes a succulent leaf just doesn’t produce roots, so don’t be discouraged — i’m sure one of em will!

i’d also move it to a less humid room than the bathroom if possible

I have not watered it yet ! Ok I’ll leave the yellowing leaves 😅 I’ve also taken it out of the bathroom, hoping all this helps !
