I love love love this plant but it's getting a little unruly. If I snip off the bottoms can I propagate them and how?

    I just took care of my unruly succulent that was looking wild. I cut the tops off of the crazy pieces and took off some of the leaves to make a longer stem and set aside for it to callous before planting back into the pot. Then I carefully removed the leaves off of the rest of the long stem and put aside to propagate. Attached is a pic of mine before!

      Every time I take a leaf off of any of my succulents to try and propagate it, I follow all the directions I've seen in the YouTube videos and they always die anyway. Any hints? And after the ends that I cut off of the stem callous over,do I just stick them in some cactus soil? And then when do I water them? That's another problem. I always tend to water too soon and they rot. I'm growing succulents but I'm horrible propagating them.

      This is my first time propagating - all of my recommendations above were based on researching. The bigger hunks that I took off I read that they just need callousing and then can be put in cactus soil. I have read that dipping them in rooting powder helps which I grabbed some to try. As for the leaves, once they callous they go stem down in soil and get misted every couple days as far as I understand.

      Following up with the status of my crazy sedum - I put some rooting powder on the stems I took off and repotted the whole plant in a new pot. Then I put some leaves in the pot with hopes that they will root themselves there :)
