I inherited these gasteria - after they callus can I stick them in soil? Will they root? They had root rot so I had to chop it off

Interesting. I love gasteria and I have never propagated them this way before but what I might do after they callus is pot them separately into about 3” pots w/ dry succulent soil and not water them for at least 2 weeks. Small sips of water then gradually increase the amount with each watering.

What do you think about plucking the last two leaves off the one on the right? Is this a soft spot? Just making sure you have the best chance for success. Good luck! I’d be very interested to see how it works out 💚
