I’m not an expert, but I’d say to just leave them alone. I’ve had better success with growing new plants from accidental fallen leaves than I have from active attempts at propagating succulents. Good luck :)

I suggest laying the larger pieces flat on top of the potting mix or not burying the cut end so deeply. They will put out roots that find their way into the soil while sitting on top. Plus, the new growth won’t have to push its way out from under the soil.

water the leaves a once or twice daily with a mist/spray bottle instead of directly pouring water on them! be patient and they will grow 🫶🏼
