# this is the first time i've successfully gotten a succulent prop to…

_Posted by Olivia on 2025-01-03_

this is the first time i've successfully gotten a succulent prop to root... what do i do now? i've continued to mist it every few days but otherwise leave it alone, but i'm not sure when it's supposed to go into soil? (as in burying the roots)

I usually leave them until they start sprouting leaves. And the mother leaf has mostly dried up.

Yes it helps to leave it alone like wolfed says but also y try to put some dirt on some of the roots so they can start anchoring for the new plant

I just stuck my jade leaves in dirt with some other plants and will replant as they get roots. They’re pretty hardy.
