# Two of my fail proof propagation methods here - an empty chicken…

_Posted by Chrissy on 2024-02-24_

Two of my fail proof propagation methods here - an empty chicken tender container from the grocery store and ziplock baggies. They’re in the “set it and forget it” stage but I noticed they’re all growing strong roots! It’s about 2 months since I started and I’ll transplant them to pots when it warms up in a few weeks. It results in SO many, I give about 100 little succulents away at the end of summer. ❤️

Do u put them under a grow light or anything im assuming they deffo need light when in the baggie but not sure how much, ive propogated a few succulents before but never had 100% success rate

I set them on a shelf near a big window but back, so they don’t get much direct light.

Okay, thank you!

Do you mist them before sealing them up?

#### Chrissy replied on 2024-03-03

Nope! I never mist.
