Got a box of succulents today and these leaves were in the bottom. I think it's a jellybean plant but I'm not sure. What is the best way to propagate them?

From my experience, just lay them on top of the soil of an existing plant and let nature do its thing. I’ve never been successful with the whole “let it callus then mist and make a greenhouse tent” ordeal, but when I just plopped them into an existing pot they planted themselves and spread like crazy!

You don’t even have to put them on soil they will root or pup like that!

Mine died when I tried to propagate them 🙄🫠

Nothing crazy here, just sitting in a terracotta saucer. It’s true that you don’t need soil but just a little insurance that the roots have somewhere to hide as they grow. I use a fine mister every 1-2 weeks.

Completely ignore them, make sure they’re getting bright light, in a month you’ll have roots and babies:)
