You can! Just throw them on top of some dirt, put them in a dry place and forget about them for a while. Hopefully in a few months you’ll have buds.

thank you!! would you recommend potting soil? i use tropical and just all purpose.

That’s fine for now while they’re growing roots. Once they grow roots and grow a decent sized new plant, you can stick them into your succulent soil, pearlite sand mixture.
