I can’t tell exactly what kind of plant it is but it it’s a succulent type as far as I know you can just set them on top of the soil. They don’t actually need to be buried. I just lay mine on top and they eventually grow roots with very little water by the way. And succulents don’t like their leaves to be wet so I wonder if the one that didn’t make it got too wet or something. I’m not an expert at all but that is my experience

You may want to unburry it slightly. The new plants generally comes out of the same cut end the roots do. So if its buried it may have a hard time. I tend to over neglect my succulent cuttings, so I always lose a few when I prop. It's not uncommon at all.

I've been doing Succulent Starts for several years now and all I do is pull of a few leaves of the ones I want and set them on soil and leave them till they sprout. I will mist them a couple times a month but that's about all till they start to grow. I just started these today and I figure it will be atleast 2 weeks before I see any growth. Hope this helps and good luck

These are some I started about a month ago. They grow slow in the winter cause my garage is cold
