My first post! I wanted to share the little succulent babies I’m propagating from leaves! This is after 3 months.

May I ask what exactly you did to propagate?

#### Plant Lady Laura replied on 2024-06-12

Sorry I didn’t realize anyone replied! I was so incredibly impatient with them. I tried laying them flat on soil, then planting the ends in the soil, I think after about a month I laid them flat again on soil in a plastic drainage tray and then put the tray in a ziploc bag. I would mist them like twice a week and seal the bag back up. I finally saw little roots and tiny leaves. I stopped with the plastic bag and just let them do their thing after a while. Some have started rooting in the soil and they are so cute! I water them a little bit like twice a week.

Awesome! #1 thing It takes for propagating succulents is patience!

#### Plant Lady Laura replied on 2024-06-12

It was a serious struggle!

Mine have been sitting on my North facing windowsill for ages! But I’m a patient(ish) person lol 😝

Cute!! I am so impatient lol. But I’m glad I didn’t give up on them when nothing happened for months

What a cute “nursery “ 🌱. I appreciate the time info…hopefully ive just been impatient and things will start happening 👀

### Tianna commented on 2024-06-10

Do you water/mist at all or just leave them be?

#### Plant Lady Laura replied on 2024-06-12

For a while I had them in ziploc bags and misted. I have no idea if that made a difference, but they did start growing roots then. Now I water them a little bit about twice a week. I’m afraid to drown them!

Here is one of my many prop planters. I leave mine out in full sun (Atlanta weather) for the summer and rain to take care of them!
