Hi there, in the pic below I have some type of Echeveria—I forgot the type at this time. I have been misting daily for two months, however, I went on vacation for the past week and did not. I believe it has not grown past its current state in 2-3 weeks.

Are these still propagating and if so, what is the next step? Would I pluck them from their moldy hosts and lay on top of moist soil and continue to mist (my speculation)? Or what?! Thanks!

Donkeys tale or echeveria

It definitely wasn’t a donkeys tail, I’ve never had one of those yet :( I think it was a lipstick echeveria

Yeah, you would remove the mother leaf and put the new succulents onto moist soil :)

I agree. Moist soil but don’t mist daily or you’ll kill them

#### Cait2k3 replied on 2025-04-08

How often should I mist? Like once per week and just a few sprays?

\*Sorry, replying again because i remembered the mother leaves of your succulents are already withered- i would water them like how you would water a fully grown succulent :) best way to do that is through bottom watering!

#### Jillian Champ replied on 2025-04-10

I agree with Sofia

Looking like your plan is coming together. Nice
