Hey so I just got a donkey tail and repotted it and few of leafs fell off and curious how you would propagate them?

    I always cut the bottom on the “leaf” just enough to expose fresh growth. And then pop them cut side down in succulent soil and boom! Wait a few days-weeks and they will propagate!

      I have a sedum morganianum, which is a very close relative to sedum burrito. I recently propped mine. I found they’re very easy to propogate. Fill a small tray/plate/what have you with succulent soil, gently place the leaves you plan to prop on top, allowing enough space between them to grow small roots in time, and mist them every day or every other day (if it’s really humid in your house, perhaps consider every other day or every three days). It could take a couple weeks to prop. I propped mine mid April and after about 3 weeks they all had little roots and flowers growing. I placed them back into the plant they came from, spacing them out like before, and I’m currently letting them naturally root themselves by laying on top of the soil. Hope this helps!

      Here’s my sedum morganianum (again, VERY close relative. Only real difference between them is how big they get and the shape of their leaves) with some of the props

      I almost forgot! Let the props CALLOUS first! It typically takes about 1-3 days for it to, but you’ll know it has when the tip where the leaf fell off from your plant turns a light brown. You have to wait for then to callous before misting them. Also as a tip if you’re new to sedum burrito, their leaves are naturally fragile, but very easy to propagate. Don’t stress if you lose some just from moving it, but this plant in particular gets very easily stressed by being moved or touched. I find mine does great with bottom watering to reduce the amount of movement from regular watering or risking touching the leaves in the process. Mine frankly thrives from neglect. I find she tells me when she needs water if her leaves start to shrivel a bit. They hold their water in their leaves. To put it simply, try not to touch or move it as best as you can manage, keep it in lots of sun, and if you want to ensure it grows evenly on all sides, rotate it a bit when you put it back where it sits after watering it. I rotate mine once every two weeks when I put her back on the windows after watering her.

    For burro tail leaves just throw them on some soil and forget about them. They are SLOW growers and thrive on neglect. All succulents, that can be propagated by leaf, sprout at different times. Unfortunately I’ve found burro to be the slowest. Just be patient!

    Simply just placing them on some soil, and wait! I always give my succulent props lots of light, and a little spritz of water when the new growth actually starts, every week or two.
