# I was under the impression that gasteria/ox tongue couldn’t be…

I was under the impression that gasteria/ox tongue couldn’t be propagated via leaf cutting, but I’ll be darned if that’s not a tiny little root! I’m excited to see if my experiment results in pups eventually!  
I started with 4 leaves. I initially let them scab over for a week before adding to water. One went mushy, so I took them out, made fresh cuts, and let them scab over for several more weeks (possibly a month). The three have been chilling in water a while now. So far this is the only promising one. I did recently get SuperThrive and have been adding a drop every other water change. So that could be a trick! Has anyone else propped these?
