I'm trying to propogate some burro's tail succulent leaves and one tiny stem that fell off. Any advice on how I would do that?

I would stick the stem in some root tone and repot it and as for the babies I just toss them on a tray with soil and leave them till they start roots then put them in small pots. This is some I did last fall

This is great advice thanks. I've heard I should wait for the stems to callus. What do you think?

I've done it both ways but letting it callus over is probably the best way for most plants but I've had good luck with my Succulents either way. Good luck
