Looks like you’ve got some bb succs on the way already!! Excitinggggg! Personally I wouldn’t worry about keeping the soil very moist. The bbs can get enough water from the props. Once the prop’d leaves start to shrivel up they will just fall from the new bbs😄

How cuuuteeee ! I’m currently propping some also they’re fascinating ! I just mist every morning 😆

I would give it more sun if you can. It’s already stretching.

I use a toothpick to make small holes right under the stem of the props and use an eye dropper to add water under it to try to attract the plant for form roots downward to reach the water. I don’t stick them into the little holes until they start forming little roots, then once they do, I gently remove them from the hole to add water with the eye dropper again until the roots develop enough or they root into the soil enough that you can feel they’re more attached to the soil when trying to pull them out. Hope this helps!

I did this too- but put a plastic wrap over the top to make a little greenhouse and mine are huge now!
