# Sooo… I have a leaf from an elephant bush, I need help propagating…

Sooo… I have a leaf from an elephant bush, I need help propagating it. I’ve had it for a few weeks, but it looks like nothing is happening. Does anyone know what I should do?

Uhhhhh just leave it until it sprouts roots and put it In DRY soil then after like 2-3 weeks from when it was sown you may start watering it  
And make sure to water it the correct way for succulents

Just leave it alone it takes a few weeks to start to root and sometimes it just doesn’t work and the leaf rots it’s very easy just let it do it’s thing and don’t overthink it

put it on top of a small pot with soul in it, then cover with a little bit of dirt once the roots appear. make sure it gets bright indirect light!

Yep, that if what I did. Treated it like a succulent. I'm on month 4. Just started to give me new leaves.
