# Hi plant friends! The top of my Kathmandu senecio fell off and I’m…

_Posted by Mags on 2024-12-28_

Hi plant friends! The top of my Kathmandu senecio fell off and I’m hoping I can propagate it. The only succulent propagations I have experience with have been from individual leaves on the shorter/thicker succulent types. Propagating from a stem is new to me!

I’ve seen a few things online for either placing in soil or trying to root in water first. Any advice is appreciated ¨̮

Just remove a few lower leaves and stick it in the soil, wait about a week to water it. They root pretty fast from my experience. I’ve tried water but surprisingly it’s faster in soil.
